| Cream — Stormy Monday If you think someone is saying something inappropriate, you can ask them what they mean before getting angry. @tomcy6 First, I’m not angry — I just merely said I take issue with the assertion that Clapton took “ownership” of the song, which is ... | |
| Integrated Curiosity Depending on how much power you think you need, here are a couple Hegels that are reputed to have very high damping factors… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650063339-hegel-h190-sealed/ https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650056688-hegel-h36... | |
| Obvious Epiphany I had them on spiked feet for a while but that made them very hard to move. Now they just rest on flat bases directly on the carpet. How that affects sound quality I don’t know or much care since it makes speaker positioning so much easier. You... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday LOL! GOOD GREIF! Soix- Simply MY observation as a 50+ year guitar wanker.. Weird YOU start a thread, and make such a comment. @tablejockey I made such a comment because it was a poor choice of words, even for a guitar wanker. Clapton neither pr... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday There’s plenty of great blue guitarist doing their cover of Stormy Monday, and there’s Eric Clapton taking ownership of the great T- Bone Walker classic. @tablejockey I take issue with you saying Clapton was “taking ownership” of the song. That... | |

| Obvious Epiphany Man, as I said before life is too short to deal with stuff like this, so again I’d recommend another preamp that has a transparent balance control — some things are just worth paying for, like pure enjoyment and sanity. I know the Atmasphere MP3 a... | |
| Surround Theater Speakers Suggestions A friend of mine used in-ceiling speakers located a couple feet behind the main seating and it worked really well. Being in the ceiling produced a nice, distant, diffused sound that blended very well and produced a very enveloping and immersive e... | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip Sorry to disobey your wishes, but I’d suggest reading this review of the Musician Draco that’s an R2R DAC. The reviewer is well versed in the various single-bit chip DACs and so is in a good position to provide a helpful perspective. Plus, if yo... | |
| Ethernet cables why not get mesh network and put one of the access points close to your system. You can then use short Ethernet cable of better quality than you would have with your 100ft run. @audphile1 Big +1, and then you don’t have to go to the expense ... | |
| Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along Glad you found an effective solution. What is the copper wire attached to in your room? | |
| Why do we demand so much from our systems? You'll be dissatisfied until you achieve wisdom or until you run out of money. @dweller Ha! Very Zen. | |

| Why do we demand so much from our systems? If you’re an audiophile it’s a labor of love and the search for something better is part of the fun. You could drive a Toyota Corolla your whole life and get from here to there. A Porsche or Ferrari is much more expensive, more labor intensive, mo... |
