| Fezz vs Raven I'll echo allears4u's endorsment of Raven amps. I owned a Raven Blackhawk for several years and loved it. The personal attention from the owner, Dave Thomson, was remarkable, as well. | |
| Wireless speakers I’ve bought three pair of Edifier speakers for friends’ houses and have been pleasantly surprised by the build quality and sonics. There are several wireless models, here’s one. https://www.edifier.com/global/p/bookshelf-speakers/s3000mkii | |

| Accessing Audiogon securely. NordVPN for me, too. A VPN is one of those things that's difficult to evaluate. You're usually not aware of whether it's worked properly or not. Still, with as much chicanery as there is online it's a reasonable step to take, especially when you... | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college I'd recommend any of the Edifier powered Bluetooth speakers. I've compared them to the Audioengine speakers and thought the Edifiers sounded much better. https://www.edifier.com/global/product-category/bookshelf-speakers | |
| W4S DAC A strong argument in favor of the W4S products is that the technical support is exceptional. I had what I thought was an issue with my W4S DAC and sent an email on a weekend evening, expecting to get a reply early the next week. Within an hour EJ ... | |
| Bluesound recent update 4.0 tanked sound quality ??? Did the update on my iPad a couple of days ago and hear no difference in the audio quality through Bel Canto DAC and amp and Q Acoustics speakers. The interface is a nice improvement.. | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. ...one more, the $2 Tuesday night performances of Paul Ray and the Cobras at the Rome Inn in Austin in the early 70s. Stevie Ray Vaughn on lead guitar, almost always standing at the back of the stage with his back to the audience. | |
