| Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes Unplugged is safer than plugged, but why bother at all? I live in the midwest in an area that is prone to seasonal thunderstorms and the tornado sirens have to go off before I'll unplug. I leave the equipment running 24/7 and half the times a stor... | |
| Reel to Reel decks If the best sound quality is the primary objective, then I agree you should keep the recording purely analog throughout the recording/manufacturing process. It will sound better. However, if the objective is best quality music, then keeping it pur... | |
| A true believer Are you now handing out seals of approval? | |
| A true believer Agaffer, you're talking about a $93,000 stereo system. It's inherently ridiculous to the overwhelming majority of music lovers worldwide just because it costs $93,000. It doesn't matter how the money was allocated. You seem to think there's a more... | |
| A true believer If you're driving down the interstate and the speed limit is 70mph, but you're going 85mph, do you really have the right to call the guy who passes you at 95mph a maniac? There's an element of absurdity here as people with ridiculously expensive s... | |
| It was 44 years ago that... "The Chronic" by Dr. Dre"Bitches Brew" by Miles Davis"Sweetheart Of the Rodeo" by The Byrds all changed their genres. | |

| RIP Gil Scott-Heron A great, but flawed artist. He's to rap what Robert Johnson is to the blues -- a touchstone. But he was wrong about the revolution. As events in the middle east demonstrate, the revolution might not be televised, but it is being streamed. | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Orpheus10 has a point. As a group we cannot agree on what is tube like sound, hence we get a huge range of choices for solid state that sound like tubes. There's inexpensive tubes, vintage tubes, modern tubes and modern/expensive tube sounds. They... | |
| What will be the data storage method of the future This is frightening, but I actually agree with Buconero117. Cloud computing has many benefits, but you are transferring all ownership and ultimately all control to what are effectively anonymous third parties. Furthermore, when you access the clou... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Why don't you bore us with why you cannot use a tube preamp? | |
| What is inside a sound bar? While it represents a compromise from a dedicated multi-speaker surround setup, high quality sound is obtainable from soundbar type products, particularly if you use them with a quality subwoofer. Look for the higher end Yamaha or Definitive Tech ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? As people mature they develop a world view, or ideology, about how the world "works". It doesn't really matter whether the ideology is true, factual, provable or even shared by others, but these factors do come into play. When confronted with some... | |
| What the heck is "reverse polarity" ? Scottie is at the controls of the transporter and he mumbles something about "cross curcuit to B". Most Trekkies believe he is reversing the polarity. As with everything there are dissenters to this point of view. | |
