If page 2 of the manual is a "closely guarded secret" I hope they don't have the launch codes.  
Female vocals
Saw Tool on Monday night and they were fabulous. Danny Carey was awesome as usual. As to female vocalists.  I absolutely love them. Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, LP, Chrissie Hynde, Mariah Carey, Christine Perfect, Barbra Streisand, etc. What ... 
Help settle a streaming argument!
@polkalover  Just because someone can't explain the reason in actual scientific terms, does not mean that the improvement in sound quality doesn't exist. Audiophiles use their ears to evaluate whether a given component improves or degrades the s... 
Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts
Contrary to popular belief. Things don't get better with age. Back in the proverbial day, communication required intimacy. Whether it was calling someone on the phone, writing a letter or speaking to them face to face, all required that the parti... 
Two questions to make you mad.
 
Virtual System Page...broken?
Everything seems to be working fine, so unfortunately it seems that something you are or aren't doing is causing an issue. This is where you should start to create your virtual system. Then click on this.  
Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs
I don't have  huge BluRay library, but I do keep my eyes out for classic movies and movies I prefer to watch more than once or twice. I also think that with some movies the disk is better, especially with movies that contain a lot of dark scenes.... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
"Oh, and forget about music, it's all noise. Listen to the sounds. That's audiophile." "That's why you get so many nonsense responses. They are poor people with mid-fi stereos and questionable hearing." Some people have a 180 degree different ta... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
I don't think the amount of money one spends has much, if anything, to do with one being an "audiophile". It is more about the passion that one has to experience music in its purest form. To bathe in its beauty and emotion whether you are listeni... 
MJ Acoustics.
I have never heard of them, but from what I saw and read about them, it seems to be just another generic manufacturer.   
All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong
@inna  "All speakers after 70s suck too, just in a different way. Don't prove me wrong, it's self-evident, just go and have a listen." So, all speakers sucked before 1970 and all speakers suck after 1970? This leads to two truths. 1. The only ... 
Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel
@misstl Not sure how relevant quoting sales from 1977 is, when there was no other options for the consumer.  The fact that vinyl and CD sales are growing is a positive sign regardless.  
All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong
Interesting first post. A black & white generalization about a quarter century of speakers. Considering the relatives ages of many of the members, I am pretty sure they enjoyed speakers pre 1970.  
Significant steps? (DAC)
@soix  "although there are still meaningful differences it becomes more a matter of personal taste and system matching as outright faults and limitations tend to decrease markedly." Much like wine. One can find decent bottles for $30, but a good... 
Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G
I run a pair of Rel T5's, a Rel T7 and a SVS PB200. Haven't heard the Rythmik, but I am sure they are great.  My only comment would be that you don't default to merely placing one large sub in a corner and calling it a day. Buy two subs minimum ...
