| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? After owning very large horn speakers for 36 years, all speakers especially horns are extremely dependent on amplifiers and room acoustics.

| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store Fifty years ago, I worked for an audio retailer. Wow, how times change?Today? I am in a pivotal role at a major global enterprise online service. My professional attitude is that IF a product or service can be bought online, it SHOULD be bought on... | |

| Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist? Everything is sexist. Breathing is sexist. A girlfriend woke me up in the middle of the night saying I was breathing "funny" like a man. I guess she woke me. Does that make me a woke man? Does that make her a sexist? Can I say man? I am a woke mas... | |
| What is up with Audio Research during the pandemic? Always have a Plan B. You can always order from another vendor. Many know more about tubes/valves than ARC, because that's their only line of business.Never forget that McIntosh is AR. AR is a division of McIntosh. And the parent is doing well sel... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about flac audio? All: I noticed differences in FLAC. It depends on the system really. I have two high-end systems, where one system is light years more sensitive to any changes in the source, than the other. Like they say, "Your mileage may vary." Here is a questi... | |
