| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers I'm a class D guy. Tube amps are fine but have not lured me to the dark side. π | |
| I am sick of Adele Adele is presented as the anti-Amy Winehouse in a sense.Amy Winehouse had the talent but her demons got the best of here. Adele has the talent as well but appears to be in control of her life and career and is attractive but does not fit the moder... | |
| $1,000,000 Speakers - Hey, you never know. They're all pretty big! How bad can they be? Big + good = expensive. | |

| Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit The thing is there is no great music without listeners. When music registers with the masses not much else matters. You can nitpick all the details for arguments sake but facts speak for themselves. | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series If I may address rtilden's question, My experience is that room acoustics are the biggest factor that affects details of soundstage and imaging like how much is in front or back of speakers. Equipment matters as well but most good quality equipmen... | |
