| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? When I lived in a free standing home in the country side, I often would unplug my gear. Now I live in a high-rise apartment tower with multiple lightning rods on the roof, so I don't bother. | |
| A life sentence!!! Revel F208 | |
| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 You have great taste in music. Can you bypass the tube pre-amp to see if that might be the culprit? | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase Are they opening the doors just for you or is it normal business hours and they are sitting there whether you visit or not? If the latter then don't worry about it. | |

| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! @jl35 is correct | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. Subwoofer all day long. You are missing a ton of bass. Take some of load off the 906 and let a subwoofer do the heavy lifting. Buy the subwoofer with the best specs in your budget which is likely the SVS SB-2000 Pro. | |
| Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening? For a while I went down the headphone rabbit hole. Acquired a few higher end headphones of the time: Senn HD800, HiFiman HE-500, some ZMF, and a nice Audio Technica ATH-W1000 and other that I no longer own plus some nice amplifiers and DACs. The... |
