Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."
Everything comes back around is a patently false claim but whatever.  
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."
I know you’re fishing for a hostile debate but the market has clearly spoken. Nearly no one cares about CDs and I can’t see that ever happening again. Cassettes are coming back but that will be short lived. Yes, higher resolution. It’s digital so ...

I think this will be directly related to the price of used CDs. Personally, I can’t see them ever appreciating in value or making a comeback like vinyl, especially since we have access to an increasing cloud library of higher resolution digital fi... 
Abbey Road 50th Anniversary
I don’t notice any bloat. Just compared to the 1979 MoFi pressing. The new one is very good. Clean, new detail I’ve never heard before, and excellent balance. I still far prefer the 1979. The MoFi one is richer, full bass, and darker (that’s not t...

@mrdecibel i just need to find a place to hear them.

We could focus on other instruments that often sound weak even on very expensive setups. Timpani is one. Trombone. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing a great trombone player in person, especially an orchestral one, you’ll know there is thi...

If going class d, I’d probably want to hear the Merrill 116 and 118, though I’m not sure where I can audition them except at WC’s house.

I’ve got paternity leave coming up in a few weeks, so will hopefully have some time to visit shops.

Will definitely find the D’Agostino to try. Also the ARC 160S, but still pretty sure I don’t want a tube amp.

Re: cables. Open to changing but will settle on electronics first Re: Innamorata or similar small shops. I’m not too interested in products that have 0 resale and aren’t supported by a company I expect to be around in 10 years. Nothing against tho...
