| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @oregonpapa I thought Pat Metheny's assessment of Kenny G was classic:He had major rhythmic problems and his harmonic and melodic vocabulary was extremely limited, mostly to pentatonic based and blues- lick derived patterns, and he basically exh... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion @tooblue Thanks...and I agree there are many analogies outside of audio that apply to tweaking in terms of realistic costs/benefits/value. w/r/t to the Hana ML I see Fremer posted a recent review here: https://www.analogplanet.com/content/high-per... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion I’m not going to going argue about whether defining speaker placement as a tweak or simply an adjustment according to manufacturer instruction. I agree it’s highly important if you want to get the most from them. Not at all tweaks perform exactly ... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion @millercarbonIf I had not tried so many tweaks with an open mind, while also admittedly realizing some gains, then sure you could call me ignorant. I'm a guy who has fully embraced tweaks and believe they have a legitimate place in enhancing our a... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion That’s anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars worth of equivalent improvement. For $60. Apparently one of the great things about being a tweak guru is being able to extract thousands of dollars of better performance from a pi... | |
| best power conditioners under 4k OP only thinks he needs a power conditioner. In reality we've all learned that he really just needs a smattering of inexpensive tweaks from SR and others. In fact ....anyone who thinks they need any new piece of gear should really focus on tweak... | |

| Shelter in Place Qobuz Binge? @uberwaltz A TV is a box that displays COVID-19 reruns 24/7. Music nurtures my soul.....tv makes me feel angst and encourages people to fear the world and other humans. It's an easy choice where to spend my time. ;-) | |
| Shelter in Place Qobuz Binge? I go for a week at a time sometimes without the tv ever being turned on because I'd rather listen to music. | |
| Recommended cartridge for Rega 3 I would recommend against the Rega P3. The arm is so limiting in terms of its lack of easy adjustability (VTA and azimuth). I think the Technics suggestions are a better choice for numerous reasons. | |
| MC Cartridge Ideas I had both a DV XX-2 MKII and Hana ML before getting the Lyra Kleos. The Lyra was a massive upgrade from both. I really bought it opportunistically as I tripped over a really good deal and pulled the trigger quickly. I wasn't truly looking at th... | |
| MC Cartridge Ideas I recently acquired a Lyra Kleos and it checks all your boxes. I'm blown away by it. American designed...Japanese built. Squarely within your budget. | |
| What to upgrade to? I guess it would depend on where I felt I have the most to gain based on what's available on the market. If you're in love with your speakers and never heard anything in your budget that makes a material improvement then I'd apply my funds to the... | |
| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? Depending on your amp, one pair may be easier to drive than the other over those low frequencies...leading to an audible difference I believe the Forest Signature are an easier load than the Hawks at less than 100 Hz but I'm not certain. What am... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. If you really hate jazz, listen to Kenny G. Every real jazz musician and jazz fan hates Kenny G. |
