Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. +1 mahler123 the truth is that there is no discernable sonic difference between any of today’s solid state gear (amps, preamps, CD/DVD players/transports, DACs) - regardless of what the golden ear audio gurus claim! This exemplifies the reason f... | |
Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. As many have said, you have to listen to preamps to decide which one you like. If you can't bring yourself to believe that they can sound different, buy the cheapest one that appeals to you in other ways. | |
Subwoofer /swarm report.... Congrats! Shows what a little persistence can do. | |
Tom Petty's Wildflowers in HiFi sounds spectacular on KEF LS50 Meta Check out the Grateful Dead's American Beauty just released in hi-res.It sounds really good too. | |
Looking for new to me Jazz music Renee Rosnes plays in an all woman band that put out an excellent album recently. The band and album are named Artemis. It is nice to get a feminine perspective on today's jazz.https://artemisband.com/ | |
Billie Joe Shaver Sad news. The old guard is leaving us fast. What a great songwriter and performer. I’m glad he achieved a little popularity so that we have recordings of his work with Eddie and solo to listen to and watch. | |
Morning coffee with Beatles and a hole You missed your chance when The Beatles in Mono LP set was released in 2014. It starts at $990 on Discogs now. | |
Jerry Jeff Walker takes the last train ride. Sad news! Jerry Jeff was one of a kind. A true Texas outlaw from New York. I saw him once in his wild prime with full band (mid 70s). He started the show at the energy level any other band would hope to finish at, and it went up from there. | |
Tube matching question Agree with tablejockey, the tubes in your avatar have the PrimaLuna logo on them. If your amp is a PrimaLuna, it has adaptive autobias, which makes tube matching less important. Prima Luna says they don’t even have to be the same tube type, which ... | |

Keith Jarrett may never play again Sorry to hear about Keith’s stroke, but well known musicians have been dropping like flies lately. We have even lost some contributors to this forum recently. The only positive we can take away is a reminder that we never know when our good healt... | |
Upgrading from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer emil, The Lumin app and also the roon app do not work well with Android devices. You have to use an Apple phone or tablet with both to get decent performance. I don't understand why these big players in the streaming world can't develop or buy a... | |
vinyl versus digital redux rossb, I hate to tell you this, but vinyl sounds artificial too. Anyone can tell the difference between a vinyl record playing in the room and people performing in the room.You like vinyl and that's great, but it's just a substitute for the real... | |
SRV! Thanks for the heads up. I've seen this in the past and it is a great show.I wish ACL would show both of the entire concerts this show is edited from. I wish they would do that for a lot of artists. I'd love to have access to their vault, but I ... | |
Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? From the article:"Given the magnitude of the difference in capacitance between a cable fully suspended and one flat on the ground, it’s unlikely that the frequency response change will be great (or possibly even audible), but there will certainly ... |
