Ah, the pantry system. Something even the butler and maid can enjoy to make their lives less miserable.   
Audio Fantasies
I thought this site was my own personal fantasy and all of you were just voices in my head.  
Happy listening in SoCal
Don't panic until you see the actual tier structure. Consolidating three into two increases the structure (duration) of the tiers but to what extent, we won't know until the next billing cycle.  What got my goat was an announcement a couple month... 
Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver
You know me, I own Atalante 3 monitors and feel that anything you get would be, at  best, a sideways move. When auditioning (and that's what you should be doing), give the new speakers time to break in and then put the Atalante 3 back in to have a... 
Oh my goodness!
Brevity is the soul of wit. Just keep any sarcasm short and succinct and let the chips fall where they may.  Not only can you say it, you can also post an image (a thousand words and all) which upsets some of the stick in the muds here. (they rea... 
CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
@rx8man  Are they the ones located in the top left of this photo? If so, is it the rightmost portion with the two red lines on the outside of the three spaces with the middle one vacant?  If so, would moving one up or one down complete the vol... 
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
I just read some comments on the Michi Q5 on a short YouTube video of it and a Michi fan/owner said it uses the same $25 CD drive mechanism as Pro-Ject and that Marantz and Jays sound better. How he knows that is beyond me unless he's already audi... 
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
@sokogear +1 I wasn't prepared for the changes in sound I got from my IsoAcoustics Oreas under my CDP. I was advised by Music Direct and IsoAcoustics to try them under the base plate and not the footers and move them about to settle on the change... 
Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3
Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed? 🤔  
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
Well, there's a new kid on the block and it's from Rotel's upper echelon line, Michi. It's the Michi Q5 CDP, CDT & DAC.( I don't know why they call it all that as CDP covers it all) And, as you can see, it's a top loader! All that for US $6... 
Oh my goodness!
Whenever I read reviews of supercars, I never begrudge those who can afford them. Sure, It'd be nice but you won't see me going on a supercar forum decrying the costs of the cars.  Instead, I just keep on reading the reviews and imagine myself, o...

Nattering nabobs of negativism sounds about right. Agnew (crook that he was) thought the press was too intrusive into his personal (criminal) affairs. It's one thing to expose corruption, another to fancy oneself some kind of corrective for socie... 
Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3
Funny you should mention those three speakers. Here's a YouTube video that, if you have a decent computer set up, can give you a good idea as the sound differences are readily apparent, despite the flaming that will result form me posting this. ht...

Aesop was much more concise. Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need a... 
An integrated bargain?
Everyone's looking for that esoteric piece that's made in some garage with the attendant secret sauce to shake things up and lay bare to the audio world the absolute truth. Get off the merry-go-round. Reorient yourself to recognize what it is you...
