| Tuners you wish you had back? I still have a Carver tx-11b which has always been a winner. | |
| Am I asking too much? That’s pretty sad. | |
| Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio. Sounds like excite and evoke may actually be meaningful names for each line. Shooting to appeal to a broader range of ears perhaps? | |
| ls FM radio even listenable any more? I was just listening to it in the car this morning and survived.At home, certain public radio programs are worth it but otherwise streaming has radio’s number these days in most every way when it comes to music. | |

| A revealing speaker Coo. Do these speakers have a name? Something people might buy? Are the older Tonians your current speakers? | |

Don't know enough about that model to say exactly which one, but I'm sure there are pre-amps by Mac designed specifically to work with that amp hopefully with the features you w... |
