| !!!911!!!Emergency!!!HELP If You Can PLEASE!!! Unless someone else here has had the same experience with the same setup, your vendor is best source. Or a very specific google search for the issue on the specific equipment will often yield good info if it’s a common problem. Pathos is a some... | |

| Fosi Audio V3 I use one with the beefed up power supply in a desktop system I listen to while working. It sounds great especially for < $150. A very good deal. I have another little $80 Fosi amp driving KEF ls50s amazingly well. Good stuff! | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? BTW I think any constructive common interest or hobby like the pursuit of good sound tends to bring otherwise disparate people more together than the norm. That is a good thing! Just not all the way all the time. Sports and sports fans are anothe... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? It’s always the extremists of any persuasion that cause the problems. The more people moderate and learn to respect and perhaps even learn from others who happen to not think exactly the same way about something, the better off we will all be. I ... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 The wonderful thing about cables is that they’re incredibly easy to buy and sell used. Yes easy to buy new then easy to sell for a significant loss. I see so many pricey second hand wires on hifi sites these days! It would seem there is an abu... | |

Some opinions carry more weight than others and people may battle along the way to wear the crown of hifi know-it... | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? I use a Cambridge mxn10 that I can recommend. | |
| Room Correction Required For TV I just use a good quality soundbar. Regarding vinyl, I have lots of albums but don’t play them much anymore. Roon and Qobuz has taken me over. When I do play a record, I generally play it once and convert it to digital, add it to my ... | |
| What tier do you consider Anthem integrated? Pass amps are not immune to room acoustics. I’ve heard the Anthem and it sounded very good. Room correction is invaluable in most any room that is not specifically designed for good sound. I’d go with the Anthem for good sound, no doubt. | |
| Room Correction Required One of my rooms has a very similar significant drop-out at ~ 60hz. I was able to correct this quite well with Roon DSP and Room Eq Wizard freeware to create and apply a very aggressive and slightly customized convolution filter for overall room Co... | |
| When to choice XLR over RCA ICs. The only way to know for sure is to try whatever wires you have as many ways as possible. Having said that, I am not a fan of trying to tune a system with wires in most cases. XLR done properly should always be the best way to go technically when... | |
| when your hearing is not as good as it was . . . It’s normal to loose ability to hear higher frequencies with age. The good news is 10 kHz and above is mainly where “air” occurs in music meaning cymbals lose their sheen and sparkle, etc but most music occurs well below that frequency. On the plu... | |
| NAD M-33 or Hegel H190 The m33 with room correction applied should leave little if anything to want. |
