| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? They are out of my budget, but I am guessing that one can find excellent speakers under your $50,000 budget.

| Focal Celestee @signaforce Sorry. No remote. Personally, the last thing I need is another remote to lose. | |
| Streamer observation / question to those who know I will preface this question by saying that I am not well versed in what goes into the design. construction or implementation of digital cables. That being said, it seems to me that instead of dealing with the relative strengths and weaknesses of... | |
| Focal Celestee Personally, I use the open back Focal Elears with an Auralic Taurus Mk II headphone amp. Works for me. | |
| Why did this just happen ? I would assume it's just a matter of how much DAC technology has improved in 8 years, but that is just a guess. | |
| John Mayall has passed away @mahler123 Really? Have some respect please. | |
| John Mayall has passed away @dweller Definitely a sad day for music. First introduced to both John Mayall and Eric Clapton with John's Bluesbreakers. Nice to hear such a heartfelt eulogy from Eric on what John meant to him, but also sad to hear the obvious regrets that ... | |
