| Had anyone listened to Ken Fritz's system in person? In that Post article, there was mention that he somewhat regularly had people over from an audiophile society in VA. So someone in that area definitely heard it. But the system kept developing over time, so I think if we consider only the last 5 y... | |
| unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms... How about some daxophone, from Hans Reichel? Hans Reichel I have one of his discs very interesting. This one is a bit jazzy but definitely it’s own sound. Lubomyr Melnyk made some interesting pieces although his newer material is more new age. ... | |
| ak is down? yes they are doing the upgrade to fix the search feature. | |
| KEF final call Even though the bass on the R11 is listed to 30hz a few people said subwoofer still necessary but their sub seems a bit pricey! Was just looking around as my main speakers are out to a shop and never thought I’d miss them so much. I have my older ... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report I was kind of hoping a room or two would play some big orchestral music with some dynamics but anyway, one room played a choral piece and that was refreshing and sounded quite good. This was the room with Vitus speakers I think. I could have liste... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report I’m going for the first time (to any audio show) and will be there bright and early Friday morning. I expect I will be overwhelmed at some point so I will try to map out the big rooms I’ve always been interested first, then hit the more practical ... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? @richardmathes there are cheap bar code scanners that can be used with different software products. I used a $20 one for a program called Readerware Music. I found it much easier to scan into a queue and then let the program go find the listing ... | |
| SACD or not That Arcam player looks pretty good. My question would be is there a DAC/Transport combo that could beat the sound quality of the Arcam for redbook, forgetting the SACD? I don’t think in terms of functionality, you will beat that, except for of co... | |

| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? I updated my discontinued database recently to a new program and have already fallen behind due to receiving some records from my mother and I was surprised at how good some of her old vinyl stands up some of which I listened to years ago. It... | |
| Turntable to External Speaker Connect Issue Could you clarify the equipment you are using? It sounds like a console player as it has it’s own sound and volume knob but then it reads like you are going directly to the speakers from the table with no amplifier in between? Are they self-amplif... | |
| Focal Aria 948 Question, No area to demo near me What finish are they? There is a discount online retailer (legit) selling new walnut for $3499/pair. It appears 37hz at the low response still leaves a bit of room for extra grunt so would not think overbearing. Do you have an opportunity to go li... | |
| RIP Mark Hollis of Talk Talk That is way too soon. I had read a rumor he was working on something new. I just played Colour of Spring from a remastered set the other day. Still sounds great. I always thought they'd be able to do one more in the Spirit of Eden style. | |
| Just bought a Marantz PM6006, and it it disappointing It might be the phono-stage is not playing nice with your turntable but I don’t think that would cause a muddy or high-pitched sound. It sounds like it might be defective for that dramatic of a difference. That NAD seems to have quite a following,... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I found Mahler's 8th on a cassette earlier today, recorded from a CSO broadcast from sometime in the '90's. Levine is conducting. Not going to be a reference (tape is a bit off) but giving it a listen now anyway. First movement finished and... ... |
