| Russians display outstanding musicianship @stuartk - I think the lack of interest may have more to do with the band covering Chicago than being Russsian. I’d like to hear and see what the folks from Russia can do. | |
| Russians display outstanding musicianship Glad to hear that the Russians are being received well. I'm sure they're thrilled to be able to tour the West. The problem isn't between the Russian and American populations, it's the governments and I'd say that Vladimir gets most of the blame. | |
| Shocking Lampizator Service Glad to hear about your good experience. Lampi did a great job on your repair. It is not the norm in high-end audio to have someone bring a new component to your house and set it up the next day if something goes wrong. Horror stories with dome... | |

| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? The type of switch usually talked about with regard to streaming is one that allows the musical bits through but not the electronic noise that comes along through your wifi system (cable into your home and wifi router). Some switches offer galvan... | |
| Why 432hz Tuning? Are we sure that the algorithm used to adjust tuning to 432 Hz doesn’t also change the overtones? The study cited by the OP was double blind and used music that was recorded at 440 and adjusted to 432. The study showed measurable physical differe... | |

| Pass Labs XA30.8 vs XA60.8 moon blocks audphile1 has the right suggestion. The people at Pass Labs are who you want to talk to. They are very good about customer support, even if you didn't buy the amps new, and will give you the right advice. | |
| Turntable for girlfriend I see the Rega turntables recommended a lot here so you're on the right track there. I don't even know if the Peachtree amp has a phono stage but it also gets pretty good reviews. If no one who knows about budget turntables and amps replies do a... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 vs XA60.8 moon blocks That’s not really enough information to say, which is why you’re not getting responses. It could be a significant upgrade if your speakers need more power or just a minor bump by giving each channel its own amp. What speakers are you using and ho... | |
| Analog vs Digital on albums from the 60's and 90's First, let me say it’s not a good idea to ask a question containing the phrase "vinyl vs digital." You didn’t do anything wrong, but those threads can get a little heated.☺ To answer your question, many people feel that 60s albums sound best on v... | |
| Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description? TMR is a good company but they are not above reproach. They do get things wrong including their condition ratings. So let the OP have his say. If we agree they are a good company, one complaint won't hurt their business. | |
| TAD Speakers letitbe, You can usefully read about a speaker only so much. As you said, they get reviewed frequently, but ultimately you have to listen to it, preferably in your own system (good luck with that), to know if it’s right for you. There were a Comp... | |
| TAD Speakers Which TADs are you interested in, letitbe? TADs are excellent modern speakers, that is, musical but uncolored, very transparent. Their beryllium tweeter reproduces sound way past the range of human hearing, so there’s no softening of high frequen... | |
| Why do we listen to sad songs? Interesting article! Here's a little bit: Mario Attie-Picker, a philosopher at Loyola University Chicago who helped lead the research, found the results compelling. After considering the data, he proposed a relatively simple idea: Maybe we listen to music not for an ... |
