| What I really hate about some music Lou Reed sings the lines Last Great American Whale 4 times in a row and it's fine with me. | |

Like a lot of things once the technology has improved to a particular point where further improvement is marginal at best, effort starts to go into styling, snake oil, aesthetics etc. that's where things are with hi-fi. Just look at cars (pre EV)... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? I'm going to go against the flow and say I do not believe in free speech when the speech is only to antagonise. I think we give too many trolls room to breath because of "free speech". If it's genuine opinion they're posting then all good, but oth... | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 I haven't tried many alternatives but can say that the primaluna Evo 400 I own is a great integrated amplifier that doesn't run the tubes hard and is made to last.

| Transmission line speakers! My mains speakers are some transmission line IMF RSPM mark IV. I bought them in great condition from a junk shop a year or so ago. My magnepan .7's and Dalhquist dqm9 have been pushed into a corner ever since. The IMF's are huge and heavy but... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC You know they'll all be decent but a little bit different to each other. If you can't try them in your own system you really have to roll the dice to a certain extent. I have the MHDT Orchid. I like it. The tube gives a little bit of scope to mas... | |

| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. Roxy Music when Eno was still in the band | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. I think the audio store guys are stressed and underpaid and have trouble making sales.The way of the world revolves around greed. Big business wants to streamline the route between your wallet and theirs and this means that the middle man will suf... | |
