| Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda! It was worse at the introduction of digital where unforgiving brightness and loss of bass were explained away as the fault of the playback hardware.The upside is the availability of albums which had been deleted from pressing long ago | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Something to note. A huge amount of speakers are 88 Db. Krell or some other amplifier manufacturers make the wattage ratings on some amps seem overstated -or are Krell et al understated I cant remember. The power supply is an important feature to ... | |

| Anybody want a laugh? While the basic exterior armature is built to resist vibration, the structure itself is also designed to “float”, providing even more effective vibration suppression. This airborne structure makes it almost impossible to transfer vibrations, so th... | |
| ...do great speakers increase in value over time in the vintage market? High-Quality items have a better chance of retaining value. Speakers although a bit hit and miss still sometimes retain great resale. Tannoy, especially the 15in.I have a shedful of bits and pieces that follow my experience with hi-fi. I rarely se... | |
| Why hasn’t B&W ever entered the ultra hi-end for speakers? James Kirk---USS Enterprise designed that ugly mess, Producers were outraged and canceled the series I always thought Ridley kicked its arse | |
| Have you ever heard "This Whole World"? Of course, I love all their early work and Pet Sounds but my favourite Beach Boys album is Holland. It’s not a Brian Album but really highlights the talent standing by him. Carls Vocal is sublime and the song should have been a big hit. Go Figure.... | |

| is this the greatest live band of all time? Prince, Little Feat, Rory Gallagher(Irish Tour if you never heard him live), Midnight Oil, AC DC(Rock Goes to College), Split Enz (more antipodean greats)and never having seen them live The Bands Last Waltz really commits great live performance t... | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound I would go with Highpeakriders option as its nearly what I have here.Nucs are really convenient and have a range of options. Adding a good DAC and NAS storage gives you better control of your files. | |
| Buying a new TT today Something from the Rega range ideally the P 10-Whatever your budget allows in the Rega Range.Its an easy way to get a good combination from the get go. | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... Give me a pair of "The Apogee" or the mighty Infinity IRS V, that's what I consider to be in the worlds greatest speaker collection. | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? With the right people works for me, alone is good to listen more intensely. Best one ever was a Porsche pal who after one song sat there as if in trance and said, "Please, play another. Please." Ill have some of whatever he's got (not the Pors... | |
| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? Pay Gentle Giant, et al the respect they deserve and get the best your budget can endure. Add some atmosphere -an open fire, big old chairs, a few crusty old friends and maybe a little Ganja. Its what prog rock was made for. | |
| Streaming: WiFi or wired?? "it makes no sense to run ethernet cable in your home that is rated higher than the cable used for your incoming service."Wish I'd thought of this obvious fact before buying a fancy ethernet cable. Oh, well. Surely it's doing no harm (?) Hopeful... |
