What have you been working on in 2020?
Spent most of the last 6 months working in the hospital.  The rest of the time I have been setting up room changes/treatments. Much better with room size change and new flooring installation.  Also spent a lot of time trying to understand how to o... 
Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?..
Has anyone heard these?  I would find opinions intriguing.  I moved my system from our main room which has polished concrete floors into another area where I put down an engineered product over the concrete with immediate improvement in sound qual...

On a limited selection right now due to various COVID related reasons but listening to a 2016 Sony release of Pink Floyd's Final Cut and it is just beautiful.  Blows away the CD.  Not even close.  Can't get enough of it at this moment in time. Thi... 
I think some cables are just a little too expensive.
Who cares!  65k speaker cables has nothing to do with 99.9% of the world. It doesn't matter what the 0.1% do with their money.  Probably even way less than that.  It has no bearing on what you or I purchase.  It has no effect on the prices of prod...

Came home from a long day at the big house. The Pink seemed appropriate. Going from most recent to earliest. Down to Atom Heart Mother right now. Starts at The Final Cut because that is where The Pink ceased to exist. 
8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
Guitarsam, I like how you roll. Job well done. I will never forget the nostalgia of being young and stupid while listening to my 8Ts in my Pacer. In retrospect, what a sweet appreciation for that time in my life.  No one could make the argument th...

Speaker upgrade around 100k retail
Really! Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids. Find someone else. 
The Room
I would also say the 2 subs, REL T-7is, are much easier to set in the smaller room than in the bigger room. Not sure if I just wasn't doing it right in the other room but they are completely different (better) in the smaller room.  A nice perk.  
Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda!
Sorry Sam, but it is called survival of the fittest The best moves on. The rest move into musical oblivion. The arguments don't matter on the internet. The best is the most Google hits and vice-versa. 
Hard of Hearing Audiophile.
EBM.  C'mon! No need for that. We are all in this for the same reason. Remember, it is for the reproduction of beautiful sounds. I understand that we all have different opinions but no reason to be ugly with someone trying to be productive. Of cou... 
Why perfect speakers dont exist the truth revealed
Thank you Kenjit for bringing such light heartedness to these discussions. It is a pure pleasure to read the discussions that follow your posts in these times. Fun to see some people get defensive and analytical while some just try and break your ...

Now, I just put on the Lynyrd Skynyrd Collection. I had no intention of buying it but my local record store guy is hurting and it was there so I said what the heck. I would have to say I am impressed for a new release. Crystal clear. Doesn't sound...

Stones, Let it Bleed. Great album. In that kind of mood.
