An amp can make a big difference but it takes a big change in amps to do it. Buying two amps is not usually effective vs one of t... | |
| Newbie question Royce, you are at the quantity not quality stage of freshman hi-fi. Have your fun but shortly you will learn that if you are really listening, you can’t play your music at high listening levels. Save your hearing, you only get one chance at it. | |
| Listening to open-backed headphones and speakers simultaneously? It will still muffle the loudspeakers. | |
| Building a house About the only thing I would do is make sure you have plenty of outlets. Things change over time so installing anything in the wall limits future choices. | |

Anyway, I did what you did to your Schitt and that was it, the unit was toast and was replaced by Monster. The part it took out was not repairable. Th... | |

| Trying to understand B&W’s trickle down strategy Just off the top of my head, I'd say the trickle down is mostly the concepts not the actual hardware. Expensive materials don't get trickled down, they get replaced with cheaper materials. Probably more of a marketing tool than anything else. | |

| My ears are ready to retire! "...and you tell him, “downsizing is a mistake ...How is that not disrespectful..."Well Matt, I am mostly here to share my experience with others with the hope they find what I say is useful. I gave my honest advice as to the way I might tackle th... | |
| My ears are ready to retire! "...Didn’t your mother teach you if you can’t say something nice then STFU?..."Yes she did. Being retired and at one time downsizing the advice I gave was the best advice I could give (sometimes good advice is not what you want to hear but it's st... |
