| SET vs OTL Couldn’t agree more. Words are important. Let us strive then to use them with accuracy and precision. Author means from or of itself- autonomous, automatic, etc. Everything then is everyone’s opinion. Yes even "facts", as the choice whether or not... | |

| A somewhat but not entirely rhetorical question: When you have to upgrade, upgrade, don't talk!https://youtu.be/JrYtD7gSWsI?t=39 | |
| Soundfile Thread Michael Fremer started doing this decades ago. Immediately people found they really could get a good relative sense of the way different high end cartridges sound. This was if I am not mistaken back before YouTube even was "a thing". Since then al... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices That would explain, matter of fact it's all dark. | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player I completely agree with ghdprentice. Just look at his post: Btw, I have been repeatedly dissatisfied and disappointed by digital for decades… the promise… the failure, rinse, repeat. He forgets to lather.

| Portability of Tube Amps Believe it or not, but tubes came before transistors, and for decades were in airplanes in combat and backpacks in the field. You wouldn't want to bang one around any more than you would want to throw a Mark Levinson or Krell down the stairs. Okay... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player It would be good if the sound could approach vinyl. It would indeed. Oh well. Whatever you wind up with, it will sound a whole lot more analog on some Townshend Pods. Never will approach vinyl, never will truly satisfy, but it is nice to have for... | |
| I heard the Box Now I know what to listen to tonight, Boxy Music, The Space Between, filled with batting. While My Port Is Still Beating is pretty good too. | |
| Vintage Tube amps Tubes do tend to have a marvelous midrange, but not only midrange the whole thing top to bottom if you're listening to a good one. Tubes of course are obvious but in reality only a part of the equation. Transformers, caps, diodes and the overall d... | |
