| Why the facination with integrated amps? For another lesser used setup in my basement. I replaced a very reknowned vintage receiver with a modern Fosi Audio Class D integrated amp with bluetooth. $80 on amazon. It is about the size of a pack of cigarattes and has drive limits accordin... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I have a Bel Canto c5i Digital Integrated amp in my family room. it is the bees knees. Dead quiet....amazing piece of modern technology. Integrated amp technology has come a long way. Many might be surprised. Rogue Pharoah is another really good o... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" As I recall, Heresy III is efficient and tube amp friendly in general but also I recall reading still not the easy load one would seek out ideally for a flea powered SET amp that must not be driven hard to sound its best. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" If someone were to do a SET friendly speaker shootout and include the Tekton offering, that would be interesting reading for me.Would like to read about a variety of SET friendly speakers and include several possible low cost/high value options. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" I’ve heard Tekton’s once (double Impacts) at CAF 2017 and they sounded good enough to definitely rate as contenders in their price range. Their unique thing is physically a lot of tube-amp friendly speaker for not as many bucks as other "high end"... | |

| GO PATS! Meanwhile over at the Puppy Bowl, a terrier took a knee and gave his paw during the National Anthem. | |

| Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage? Spotify has very deep content. I’m like a kid in a candy store. I can try things I’d never have a chance to otherwise. Then if I like it enough I can buy and stream from my own music server. Records now only get played once and converted to digita... | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. The Beatles aren’t overrated. I sang many a Beatles song to my kids when little and they grew up with a great appreciation of all kinds of music. My world class vocal skills were NOT the reason. 🙃 | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. So the burning question now for a true audiophile is obviously how accurately can your rig reproduce these modern recordings in question? At live-like volumes? | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. I'd try to not to be too negative and focus too much on modern abuses of digital technology and rather seek out the good. Plenty of it!Unless pop music, the most mass produced kind, is the only kind that floats one's boat.... | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. Wow I might have to find a new and cheaper hobby. | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... Harold-barrel,I am a huge long time fan of Procol Harum, Moody Blues, King Crimson, you name it late sixties early prog/art rock act, but you gotta realize non of that may have ever happened when it did without the Beatles blazing the trail for ne... |
