Apple stopped making products for its lifelong users long ago, instead wisely opting to target its stuff at younger people than myself.  No problem there. I understand. However, I'm on the 6S+ and the battery continues to suck out loud - always di...

dave...Prior, with a different preamp, I had purchased a pair of XLR/RCA connects to effect using the balanced inputs on the Pass to little or no effect - feh!Currently I am using a Furman power conditioner, a "cheap seats" entry level model that ...

Deep thought...I realized last night that what I've been doing to better enjoy these speakers has been subtracting elements associated with them to let them perform their best. It's been said that photography is removing elements, painting is addi... 
Random thoughts from a sort of, kind of audiophile
Laughing...As with vino,  we are addressing utterly subjective material with audio. To a fault either pursuit leaves itself open to, even welcomes, the variety of opinions they are heir to simply by dint of a relatively low price of admission. Win... 
Random thoughts from a sort of, kind of audiophile
In previous posts I've made in forums elsewhere I admittted first that I don't know a mosfet from a misfit, yet some of my equipment can be considered to be of audiophile quality. I could listen to Led Zeppelin I through two cans connected by a st...

R. I. P. Dave Brubeck, 91. One of the artists who's recordings marked the beginning of my appreciation for jazz, and the true art of the music itself.  Having been a typical rock fan for most of my teens, it was through a wacky high school English... 
Greg Lake RIP

Your Go to CD to Impress
Ginger Baker's "Why?"  Specifically the first cut. Why?Because 100% of my friends and acquaintances have some idea of who he is, and second, they have not heard anything by him since Cream.  Kinda wakes 'em up, ya know? 
Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks
Having enjoyed the Hawks myself I had more issues with the bass reproduction than I did the high end - though I hasten to add that I still think they were remarkably good overall. Perhaps unfairly I was comparing them to my Thiel CS3.5's which, to...
