| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I tend to discount posts by some that show little or no empathy for others. Posting for me is largely about helping others. That requires empathy. How can anyone advise others on what may be best for them without empathy? Just because somet... | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal How could I forget Roon? Harmon has done wonders for Roon. | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal The only thing in my system so unique that I consider irreplaceable are my Ohm Walsh speakers.

| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal Nothing stays the same forever. For every fading star there will be a new bright one and vice versa. THose are fine brands but nothing all that unique or special about any of them any more that I can think of. All easily replaced perhaps by ... | |

| Genesis Became a Genesis fan early on when I picked up a copy of Genesis Live in the $1.99 budget bin. It was cool to see them transition from Peter Gabriel and evolve into mega stars. Gabriel too. I guess I was on to something. Plus Phil Collins a top ... | |

| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! Background info on the advertised Creek Class D technology. Something different. Class D Audio Amplifier IC - Infineon Technologies | |
| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! I’ve had many Class D’s for years. Some "high end", some not so much at least based on cost and aesthetics.
