| Shoutout for the 432EVO Aeon III and Dave Lalin of Audio Intellect @bentonpix Do you prefer the 432 or 440 tuning? | |
| Gurf Morlix Don’t forget that Gurf produced three albums for Ray Wylie Hubbard between 1997 and 2005, Dangerous Spirits, Growl and Delirium Tremelos. There may be more. If you like Gurf you’ll probably like Ray Wylie. Part II (the sober part) of Ray Wylie’s... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? It depends. You can have a system that lets you hear every detail on a recording and also engages you emotionally, or you can have a system that gets all the detail but none of the emotion. I have a pair of speaker cables that I can hook up with... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! I know you’re joshing, erik, or trolling, but it is true that cleaning has both physical and psychological benefits on audio. Just for the record, the cleaning I referred to is the cleaning of connections, switches, volume pots, etc., althou... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! @mceljo Depending on how your friend washed his car, if any of the suspension components got wet it’s possible that it could have a positive effect, at least temporarily, on the ride quality. Also, wet tires should be slightly softer (they cert... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components @steve59, jays_audio_lab early on in his epic thread, My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!, found an amp that he recommended for low volume listening. He felt it excelled at that, losing nothing at low volumes. I wish I co... | |

| Springsteen. Only the Strong Survive It is nice to hear Bruce not singing in his Woody Guthrie voice and the album is recorded very well. The songs don't have the soul of the originals, of course, but that's not a reason for him not to have a go at these songs he loves, and if it hel... | |
| Cryogenic Tubes - Time for a Change Before you ask a question about a topic that's likely to be controversial, it's best to do a search and see if it has been discussed before. Just type Cryogenic in the search box at the top of the page. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? Is there really any proof that remasters have compressed dynamic range (the so called loudness war)? Is it just a mostly baseless term intended to invoke an emotion? Yes there is. Many Cds have been dynamically compressed since the early 90s. Y... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? A blind analog/digital test recently came to light which caused a great deal of consternation among the analog contingent of our hobby and brought doubt.to some of their claims of what they can hear. It was recently discovered that MoFi Labs had ... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Get real. Climate change is everyone's problem. @hilde45 You're going to have to get rid of those tube amps if you want to start preaching climate change. Class A amps are way too small in number to have any impact on climate. +1 jerryg123 | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius Yeah, but how are tubes going to work in your powered speakers? | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound Though again, it wasn’t doing that say, 3-4 months ago or thereabouts, so I’m still convinced that Qobuz did do something to enable the capability @hankeson, You know computers have a mind of their own at times. It’s hard to explain why they do... |
