Question about wpc on tube amps
Thanks guys, you all confirmed what I was thinking. I just wasn't certain since I haven't any experience with tube gear.  I will move forward with a tube preamp!  I need a better one anyway. Besides, I never had any beef with my Bryston. It drives... 
Top two most important sound qualities
Warmth, depth... blackness.   
What to do with my legacy CD collection?
I started buying those Sony Mega storage units. Mostly the 200 and 300 disc ones. I use the optical output into a quality DAC via splitters. It is fun to have people over to my house when they discover these "juke box" players. They are amazed. ... 
What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?
I don't worry about what my family will do with my stuff. My wife and kid hate music (yes, it is true). I will, as time passes, watch for a younger man who has genuine interest in this type of stuff. Yes, they ARE out there. I will make sure he ge... 
Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align
One you might not expect. Madonna - I'm breathless. I ignored the album for years. Thought it was the soundtrack for the movie Dick Tracy.  Only, I think, one song from the movie. Did some reading and found she was simply inspired by music from... 
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
The OP got me thinking. Seems over the years I have heard (and myself said) similar remarks about "current" music of this sort or that. I believe that what happens is that over time, the true artist shake out from all the fluff and go on to become... 
Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?
I was a light-weight fan for sure. My favorite song is the one always dumped on. "Shiny Happy People".  Such a perfectly absurd song. With Kate Peirson's vocals, it just sorta knocked it out of the park.  A great little piece of 90's exuberance! ... 
It was 61 years ago today...
I was 14 months old that day. I guess I was there, in spirit anyway. Weird that now, at 59 years old, I am just now starting to peruse the Beatles catalog?   Have seen the clips of Ed's Beatles presentations many times. Always amuses me.   
Jazz for aficionados
I only have two to offer, one everybody knows. Getz/Gilberto.. seems to be several varients.   I have been enjoying the remastered version on Qobuz. I am always gob-smacked that something recorded the year I was born (oh so long ago) just jumps ... 
Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways
I only run my main system when I am in FL mode; being that the speakers are Magnepan, they are worthless for any type of casual, walking around the house sort of listening. For the rest of my house, I am using the big Google Home Max speakers conn... 
Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
Madonna, of course   
Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC
I have a simple solution to your problem and it will cost you $26. I was always running into the same problem as I have multiple Sony mega storage CD units I use as transport. Just a couple weeks ago I decided I am NOT buying anymore DAC units. I...

Basic question about power/watts
Hey everybody!!  Thanks so much! Frantically looking up all the eqpt that has been recommended.. So much great advice. @russ69.... I loved the "buy once, cry once". Perfect! I think I will shed some tears but you just made a heap of sense to me🙂  
Basic question about power/watts
Hi everybody! First off, thank you all so much for your thoughtful answers. I read all of them several times (often times more lol) and learned a lot.  I realized after reading, I should have supplied more info. First, the speakers... They are t...
