| Aqua LinQ+La Scala Optologic Combo @toddler TMR (The Music Room) sell both HiFi Rose and Aqua. Perhaps reach out to them? | |
| Monitors @bumpy48 So sorry to learn your listening is compromised by this issue. My wife suffers from it as well. There are other forum participants with tinnitus. You might start a new thread asking whether any of them have discovered/developed workaro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes; Geri Allen was a remarkable artist. Some of her recordings are a bit too outside for my current tastes but I still enjoy "Life of a Song" with my favorite bass/drum duo Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette and the much earlier "The Nurturer". I s... | |
| Monitors @bumpy48 If you have valve amps and especially a valve DAC, I'm confused by your concerns about fatigue. | |
| Monitors @bumpy48 I don’t think there’s any doubt that this can occur! However, as no two people hear the same or have the exact same tastes, the point at which any given system crosses over from "highly resolving" to "fatiguing" is subjective. Review... | |
| Would You Like to Make Your CD's Sound Better @phillyb What do you use to buff with and in which direction -- in a circle or across the disk? How often do disks need this treatment? Finally, does this wax have a strong scent? | |
| What's the point of reviewing? @voodoolounge I would never buy a component based solely upon a review but that doesn’t, in my mind, render them useless. When contemplating an upgrade, my approach is to gather as many impressions/opinions as I can about products I might consid... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Unfortunately, there are few opportunities to hear top-tier live Jazz unless one lives in a major city and even that is no guarantee. For example, my wife and I are Dave Holland fans and we were able to see his Quintet (3 times), his Big Band and ... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? @mlsstl Attempting to impress others or change their minds results in meaningless debate and frustration, both a waste of your time. This should be emblazoned at the top of every thread! | |
| It’s it just me or there are others. I suspect a bot. There's so much here that, from my perspective, simply doesn't add up. | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops @thefile I don’t understand how someone can buy an expensive piece of audio equipment and not audition it in their system first. Many places today, you buy it and your stuck with it. OH yes you can sell it on Audiogon or eBay. Reviewers are nic... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? ...they do not have a release date No Schiit? | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps @nosleeptilldownload Don’t Audio advisor and Crutchfield sell NAD? If so, you can get one with a trial period and refund option. Listen for yourself in your room and decide ! |
