| What are you listening to right now? "Wise After the Event" by Anthony Philips. | |
| R.I.P Glen Campbell I was missing Glen Campbell in my music library and corrected that a few weeks back converting some Glen vinyl I picked up at the thrift store not long ago. Always had a soft spot for this guy's music. | |
| Benchmark Dac3 I have no doubt both BEnchmark and Oppo make excellent sounding DAC products.Chord DACs are interesting to compare to others like BEnchmark and Oppo in terms of technical approach. | |
| Benchmark Dac3 All recent DACs do not sound the same for sure, however, there are many very excellent sounding ones these days for not very much to the point where in many cases any quality device with a DAC is no longer likely to be the weakest link in the play... | |
| Amazon Fire - anyone using as a streamer/transport WITHOUT the TV ? I use Plex on Fire TV to stream my music library. Fire TV is input to Bel Canto C5i digital integrated amp which has awesome sound quality. I use Plex on Iphone, ipad and desktop browser to control it remotely. Plex also does photos and video.

| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? Schubert I picked up a Kurt Elling CD a while back on your recommendation. Still acclimating. With many years of exposure I proudly now get Elvis though. My wife is a big Elvis fan so no choice. We even did the pilgrimage to Graceland (and Sun Stu... | |

| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat Most any Class D amp is relatively small, very power efficient and runs cool. Many good ones out there. I use a Bel Canto c5i in an enclosed audio cabinet and also have other BC 500w/ch power amps. Neither ever gets even slightly warm. | |
| Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if..... LSD probably ruined a lot of things but I think true rock and roll as seen in the late 1950’s while still lots of fun was too limited to have a long lifespan hence all the directions rock/pop music went in subsequently, which I view as a good thin... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I have not heard but does not surprise me that they sound good. Many less expensive speakers including many vintage will likely sound better than ever if run off proper good quality modern electronics and amplification. My current stand is I see n... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Personally I would avoid any line array design unless listened to from a relatively far listening distance in a fairly large room. Even then I am a fan of fewer drivers not more. | |
