I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
Name me one artist, group, or orchestra that is satisfied with the present system and wouldn’t want to go back to the older one. Yes, that one had its problems but they pale in comparison. Musicians just adapted and now it’s the new normal. Back ... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
In regard to artist's remuneration. The most popular artists do just fine between streaming royalties and concert dates. The obscure and/or unknown artists likely do better with streaming vs. hard copy. For one they get far more exposure via stre... 
The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate?
Finally, a great song that'll stick in my head like a nagging conscience. 👍 As for how to post a YT video here, one used to just copy the link and paste it right here where you type but that feature went away a while ago. Now it's just a link. Ma...

Audiogon seller's question
I hope everyone realizes that too many uninformed/misinformed folks with political agendas spread their BS on AG and else ware. Yet, the usual suspects are doing just that, decrying politics where they see fit, thanking the moderators for curta... 
What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?
Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image in Studio City, Ca. has been selling Dali speakers since forever. Every time I've been to his place they always sounded fabulous. Yes, he carries other brands but he told me they just sound so much like the real th...

JBL's Marketing Blunder..
Dudes. This is a male dominated hobby so of course you'll get more than a smidgen of typical, lost in the past impressions from clueless men. That ad was pretty good satire and very clever at that. It breaks down tons of barriers to Gen Zers out... 
Sony or Panasonic 4K Player vs. Magnetar or Reavon Universal Player
I've been thinking of replacing my aging OPPO-103 and was torn between the two Panasonics you mentioned, the DP-U9000 and the DP-U820 and will most likely go for the DP-U9000.  From what I've read, both have fans and the one on the U820 can be he... 
AI-Written Stereophile Articles
Back when I graduated from high school ('72), the average students vocabulary consisted of about 70,000 words. By the '90s, it was down to around 35,000. I hate to think what that number is now. I'm way past despair.  All the best, Nonoise
