| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? Personally I think the answer is “no”. We hear in analog and by playing vinyl the music remains in the analog domain, by converting to a digital storage, we abandon the analog domain. Then by trying to reproduce that digital stored format back to ... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Large Room I heard the Borresen 1 stand mounted at RMAF last year in a few rooms and was impressed with what two little boxes could do. But the last room I saw them in was a very large room and I heard the coming up the hall and was shocked when I saw that a... | |
| Is being an audiophile a disease? Interesting video, I liked the Pioneer and Zenith commercials that followed. But the initial video does make me realize that sometimes the obsession can be a little over the top. But hey if you enjoy...then enjoy to the fullest. | |

| Focal Kanta No 2 We are here for ya, j-wall. At my age I have come to realize GF’s just don’t get happiness. Especially their own🤔 | |
| Focal Kanta No 2 J-wall, let us know how you like them. I heard them the year they were introduced at RMAF then the 3’s. I really wanted the Sopra 2’s and was ready to buy when they bumped them $4K and I need center and rears so about $6k for the package, and back... | |

| McIntosh, your experience? I have owned many Mc amps as well as Pre-amps, Processors and one DVD player. I still keep two amps in my system one MC402 and MC205 for 2 channel and 5 channel respectively. I would suggest you do a little research on which model will meet your n... | |
| Chord Qutest DAC Lowrider57: Thank You for your response I think the problem I’ve got with this, is that the 44.1 Indicator is the lowest indication of rate that the Cutest shows. I stream DEEZER at Flac and the Bluesound does indicate HD which tells me I’m gettin... | |
| Chord Qutest DAC Pathos2, welcome and congrats on the Cutest. I have had mine for about a year now and leave it on all the time with no issues. Also contrary to the instructions, I found if you unplug it for any length of time, it re-boots back to its default sett... | |
| RMAF 2020 is Cancelled As one who has attended every RMAF since year one, I am saddened by the loss of this annual event. Just when they finally moved it to a better venue, sans the miles and miles of walking on bad news. | |

| About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice? JM, I am in Colorado so a bit far to go demo. I will say that the VA and Aerials both are much better looking and I do prefer wood over paint. I hope the VA dealer gets his sold so he can bring in the Reference, I have given up on the Aerial deale... | |
| About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice? Thank you for responding. I have considered the previous VA Beethoven's and found them just a little lacking in emotion on higher volume. I really like the sound at lower volume but some music cannot be played at lower volume, probably why Muzak d... | |
