Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!

Stereophile's 2021 products of the year
I give a lot of credit to Mike Moffet of Schiit. I first spoke with him in the early '80 when he founded Theta Audio. He had developed pretty much the first functional CD player. I wanted to buy it but he steered me away since he referred to it as...

Multiple drivers. With multiple crossovers are truly difficult to blend.A single driver can be best although they are challenged in the frequency extremes. A two way with proper crossover is the best solution. However, if you already are happy wit...

CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
I will always be oriented toward listening, my precious hours, to the best SQ I can muster. However, it seems very attractive to check out something like Pandora and how when selecting a favorite artist they mix in related content from others. Thi...
