| More expensive = better? "My speakers are under $1k, staright up, midrange surpasses Wilson's biggest guns, Dali, Sonus Faber, Rockport, none beats my midrange. Under one K bucks" Hyperbole aside, what about the low end and the high end? Sound is only as good as its wea... | |
| More expensive = better? I believe that audio gear is much like wine. A 2018 Pomerol or Saint Emilion Grand Cru is fabulous, but is it twice as good as a bottle that is half the price? No. It is almost always a case of diminishing returns. | |
| How much gear do you own? Those times are long gone. Since the downsizing to post-divorce condo life, I just can't justify having anything extraneous to clutter up the place. Especially in downtown Vancouver where it's over a $1,000 per square foot. | |

| Opera - Video streaming or buying? Option two. https://www.medici.tv/ https://www.medici.tv/en/operas/ Still no information on sound quality or format, but a much broader database. | |

In their world, measurements are all that determines whether a product is good or bad, so once ... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers I have bass array consisting of two Rel T5's, one Rel T7i and an SVS SB2000 and I love what they do for the overall sound. | |
| Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data. @lwin I see. | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? @jssmith Why are you here? Anyone that quotes Audio Science Review as Gospel, really does not actually listen to the equipment they pass judgement on. To them, measurements are everything. How can any review of a piece of audio equipme... | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? @havocman "Jason Bourne I think you're quite wrong about that, anything under four figures won't sound very good at all and you're also wrong about transports...... esoteric makes the best ones and everybody else is second and third" No... | |
| Bully pulpits @tubebuffer "Most these guy old bald guy that lonely and find comrade in forum." As an "old bald guy", I resemble that remark. |
