Question about Dared VP-300b

Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile"
The pedophile analogy was way over the top. While lusting over $20,000 power cables has to be absurd by any rational standard, it certainly isn't abhorrent or illegal.And at the risk of being banned from this forum, I find little fault with this s...

Amp improvement since 1994?

Room treatments behind or between speakers?

Value of Sony XBR Tube TV's
My Goodwill still takes CRT TVs. At least they did last year. 
Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?
Once you have purchased and installed a basic system that conveys the sounds to you intelligibly, you have reached the point of diminishing returns. If you choose to follow the audiophile nonsense beyond that point, you have voluntarily entered a ... 
Herbie Hancock best recordings
