| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Yes, I liked the Accuphase integrated amps I heard very much. Definitely made the cut for my short list for an upcoming integrated amp upgrade I have in mind. Also kudos to Odyssey for showing probably the best overall sound value I heard at t... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Another standout for me was Songer Audio. In addition to one of my favorite sounds I heard, they did it with a beefy yet supposed 4 watt SET amp driving their modest-in-size custom full range field coil driver in a somewhat pricey yet performant d... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Had a full day there today. There was a lot to like! I need to go through my notes first to point out a few highlights. The mbl room is one I can cite as candidate for best sound. They seemed to get it right in every way in their room this year... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @grislybutter I will say it is more concerning than ever now that the Supreme Court has granted PResidents immunity for "official acts" thanks to you know who. Sounds like you have experience in this area most US citizens do not have. Let’s hope ... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @larryi , Good one! I read good things about Synthesis and I recall them as well during a visit to Deja Vu Audio in Virginia a couple years back. THey usually put on a good show at CAF as I recall. A tube integrated is not out of teh question for... | |
| Quincy Jones has passed away Here is a juicy Quincy tidbit for hifi affectionados: | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Oh by the way, any suggestions on integrated amps I should check out at Capital Audiofest? Thanks. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! The (lack of) basic knowledge people have that drive their decisions to vote is astounding. I think that with the internet these days, there is more information (and dis-information/outright propaganda) out there to sort through. So many use th... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! There are really only a few weapons people have to defend themselves financially regardless of political ideology. Voting is one. How ever, the way way more effective ones are to become educated to develop valuable skills and then also investing... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @grislybutter one thing I will give Donald Trump credit for: he has always been very successful in selling whatever it is he wants people to buy. HE is very good at marketing himself. Warning: marketing works but is often merely a bunch of BS... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @grislybutter rest assured you I and many are on the same page with what you cite. "Living a lie" is the big problem in my mind. YOu can’t fix real problems when you rely on lies to keep you going. Doesn’t change the fact that this does not regi... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @tkrtrb125 thanks. You too. I know deer hunting season is coming up soon. I've noticed the deer normally around my house eating all my plants have that nervous look in their eyes. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @tkrtrb125 for sure!. I go mainly to soak in all the sounds for reference. It has helped me achieve better sound incrementally over the years. Occasionally I may even end up buying based on what I hear, but for me changing gear is not the first ... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! So having said all that...I am maybe getting my mojo back to look forward to the upcoming hifi show and lots of elite yet very cool good sounding new stuff, most of it out of reach financially for most. Irony! | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Yup. The only things that matter is what happens next. Fact is most people all want pretty much the same things regardless of political ideology. Unfortunately the extremists are the ones often working hardest to get their way. |
