| The survival of the fittest. So, question: How does someone like Atma-Sphere continue operating? I mean, what broad marketing does he have to account for his continuing sales?@kijanki I wasn't aware that Ohm had those ads back then. That probably accounted for their launchpad. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Oddly enough, some of C418's MInecraft soundtrack. Immaculately produced. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nick Drake - Bryter Layter. "Northern Sky" just floats in the air in front of me. When my first wife and I were separating, I think the most amicable part of that disaster was when we split our Nick Drake collection. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Phish- Sigma Oasis. So clear and engaging | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation I think the best integrated I’ve ever had besides the LFD was the LSA Statement. What an underappreciated gem.Oh, and what's the word on Jadis? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rush - Grace under Pressure (original 1984 pressing)(with Synergistic Green and Black PHT's on the headshell and tonearm) | |

| The survival of the fittest. @kijanki but how do ohm,etc, get established when they eschew traditional marketing?And I distinctly remember Hyperion speakers. They are beautiful to look out, well designed, and more important, sounded delicious. I wonder if their demise was als... | |
| The survival of the fittest. I think the OP may be overlooking what @mapman suggested about good speaker manufacturers chugging along despite a lack of major marketing. Ohm, Decware, Spatial, Reference 3A, and other small manufacturerers have lasted for decades because of loy... | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation @condosoundWhat similar priced amps for the money do you recommend that are tubes? | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation @jjss49 yes, definitely a consideration. It worked wonders when my pathos double down to 140 watts into 4 ohms. The LFD did not, being class A. Steve at deckware recommended that Tori for because of its increased wattage. He said because I was so ... | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation Thanks all. I'm considering hauling my M3s up to Peoria to see how the Decwares sound with them. And thanks for the LTA recs. I'll check it out. | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation @millercarbon. Yes, I've been talking with Steve (who's right up the road) and just asked him the lead time. | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? Ooo! It looks quite nice, especially that wood base. | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation @rtorchia" "To me the LP popularity is based on pure nostalgia because messing with a Thorens TT, an SME arm, and a fine cartridge is very pleasurable."Careful there with that broom you're using for the sweeping generalization. I'm not sure what ... |
