Interesting post. I have Vandersteen Treo's that have a down firing port for the bass drivers. Currently have them mounted on IsoAcoustics ISO-Puck 76's on a wood over concrete floor.  Any comments on how I would accommodate the Townshend Seismic...

ELO - Out Of The Blue 1977 UA/Jet Records early pressing Hadn't listened to this one in years. Great album for ELO fans and SQ on this pressing is super. Took me by surprise. .   
When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 .......
There is a good article in Wikipedia. Just plug in Loudness War in their search field. It mainly occurred in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. It was not a good time for CD sound quality and I can usually pick up on it pretty easily when listening to ...

Happy New Year to all. Health and Happiness!  Traffic - Shootout At The Fantasy Factory 1973/2021 Island Records RM Nice pressing. Very good SQ.

@soix   All I can say is one man's trash is another man's treasure. We all have different sounding systems and we all hear things differently and I'm not saying Brother's early DDD CD sounds better than the MFSL 45 RPM Remaster. My original AAD co... 
When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 .......
My first experience with CD’s was somewhere around the mid 80’s when I purchased my first CD player by Sony and I thought it sounded great mainly due to the clarity of the format and lack of the background noise inherent in records that could have...

@dayglow    Thanks for the info on The Magazine. I was not aware. While the SQ is very good it would be difficult to compete with the high bar set by her first self titled album and Pirates that are absolutely stunning.

Rickie Lee Jones - The Magazine Original WB 1984 US pressing. Recent NM find at a LRS for $5. Great album. Great SQ.

Crosby, Stills and Nash - CSN 1977 - Early Atlantic pressing. I hadn't listened to this in years and with it being so overshadowed by their first album I forgot just how good this album is. Enjoyed it so much I played it twice back to back. Grea... 
PSB T600 Synchrony - impressions
I purchased the PSB 600i floor standing speakers back around 2002 and ran them for about 10 years and was always impressed with their great sound for an inexpensive speaker so I am sure their upper tier line is fabulous.  Since you mentioned an i... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
@soix Thanks for referencing the AS review. I’ll check it out and have thought about giving Qobuz a try with their free trial as you stated to see if I can even notice the difference in SQ. Not sure if my ears are that refined. With that said I... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
I have used Amazon HD through WiFi on a Bluesound Node 2i and an Auralic Aries G1 for a couple years now and have been completely satisfied with the sound quality and their vast catalog. I can't comment on Qobuz as I have not compared the two. I ...
