LSA 20 Statements review
They look like nice speakers, especially if you got them for the $2600 introductory price. Just as nice as any other speakers in the $6K price point. From the website: "a custom LSA 1” copper beryllium dome tweeter"  I believe that means "coate... 
Reversing hearing loss with regenerative therapy
Encouraging news. Hopefully  when the technology gets perfected and approved, the insurance companies will also be on board, so everyone can benefit from it.    
hana sl or one of the AT-ART9?
Phono cartridges, speakers and amplifiers are not genre specific.  How many times does Atmasphere need to chime in with this fact?      
Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else?
I live blocks away from the Long Beach Grand Prix going on today. I don't follow Indy series, but it sure sounds cool hearing a swarm of 10,000lb bees screaming around the block. This weekend also brings out the goofballs driving their exotic su...

You will need around 65db gain in your phono stage to use the XA. XA may have a subjective refined presentation compare to the XI. Both are a solid choice.  XA air core aligns with more exotic(expensive)low output cartridges. "or there is stil...

Every day I see another turntable recommendation...
"sounds like you are saying I can’t share by with the Hagerman Trumpet?" Absolutely not. It’s just considering what you will have invested in the complete table assembly. Your sports car with budget tires? By all the positive reports by user and...

$5K table ONLY, suggest you're prepared to invest in proper equipment. That suggest you're gonna be $8-10K deep fully dressed. Don't skimp on phono stage. $3-5K (used in that range will buy something very nice)will get  a proper model. Whatever... 
Classical? Chinese Music
Give Kitaro a listen. A blend of traditional Japanese intstruments along with World/New Age influences. I have been a Kitaro fan since the 90’s. Excellent as part of "decompression therapy’ for a challenging day.

NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues.
Any bets on when the thread on "Rolling Stones mono reissues disappointing" drops? You don't get early Stones albums for SOTA sound. I do have all the period US mono releases. IMO, it's the only way to listen to early Stones. Why bother when you...

Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
A not so good recording stays a not so good recording. How about this... It will sound  more acceptable in the "better" system.  
SME New Turntable Presentation
Impressive manufacturing. SME doesn't do vacuum clamping though.  I've come to expect it at this stage of the game. I'll  have mine in Ferrari Red or matte black, thank you. Ya think SME's 3D arm is a little more sophisticated than VPI's?   
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
Based on the sample recording of the acoustic guitar player, can those who have a very good streaming setup, hear anything significantly different, in a more convincing way? No streaming here. On my laptop, the acoustic guitar does sound loud an...
