| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? I believe early perfectionist audio systems were derived from equipment used in moving picture show houses. There has been much evolution since. | |
| Help me make sense of this - Midfi system sounding better hifi. The Klipsch is more dynamic than the B&W? Who would of thought. Why do you call the system mid-fi? High end is more a frame of mind coupled with a methodology. | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? It's more important that the musicians are in tune with each than with concert tuning. Analog recording and manufacturing had numerous places where small errors in pitch could occur. The biggest selling jazz album of all time, "Kind Of Blue", ha... | |

| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to If she's good enough for Ray Charles and Willie Nelson, then she's real good. Just listen, or not listen and judge her by her music. Trying to label her a nepo baby is misleading. | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy Exactly what is your desired volume level in dBs. It makes a difference. | |

| Preamp with two volume controls? You're really using two McIntosh C50 preamps in a stereo setup? Your description and reasoning makes no sense. | |
| I can't believe this. Sounds like capitalism to me. Would you like it better if there was coach, business or first class service? | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? Sometimes it's not that clear cut. Brian Wilson post Beach Boys may have an artistic edge, but certainly not popularity. Frank Zappa post Mothers Of Invention by volume alone overwhelms the earlier work. Nile Rodgers production work after Chic ... | |
| Break In Failed How can anyone optimize loudspeaker performance within 20 minutes? Figuring out preferences for room placement, toe-in and tilt takes a little bit of time. The drivers (and surrounds) need time to loosening up and the crossover components also n... | |
| Hi-Fi and the Folly of Perfection There can be a certain melancholy when you get what you always wanted. To quote Don Draper -- happiness is that moment before you want more happiness. Cue up Frank singing "It Was A Very Good Year". | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System @ozzy I'm a little surprised that you think a million dollar system should be significantly better than a $100k system. I suspect that the higher priced system would play louder (maybe even softer), have deeper bass and possibly have some refinem... | |
| Jazz for aficionados David Sanborn played in Mr. Wonder's band in 1971/72. He has very nice things to say about that time. | |
| Am I Getting Soft Here? But what about the not subtle, night and day, gobsmacked and profound differences a better power cord will make? |
