| Pee Wee Herman has passed away Loved Paul Reubens work. I guess I first saw him in one of the Cheech and Chong movies. The TV shows and the movies based on Pee-Wee were all great. | |
| Salk Future TBD Sounds like an amazing opportunity for someone with the right skill set. I love the idea of doing this but I know I don't have the skills or experience in either cabinet making or the speaker guts to make it work. | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier Go with separates since the streaming part goes obsolete fairly quickly. WiiM Pro streamer for $150 and your favorite budget amplifier. Small class D amps like the Loxjie A30 or a full size amp like the Yamaha A-S301. | |

| Women Who Rock Aretha Franklin, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads), Kim Deal (Pixies), Exene Cervenka (X), Poison Ivy (The Cramps) | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus I want to say The Meat Puppets at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill 25 years ago but I am sure that there many others too. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? @docknow that whole Hell on Church Street album by the Punch Bros as was the original by Tony Rice is excellent. @northman Love that tune as I also do Hatfield by Widespread Panic. Many of their tunes tell a solid story. The Vic Chessnut/Widespre... | |
| Made in USA I believe most of the Revel line up is made in the USA and most of the Focal speaker line up is made in France. | |
| Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS FLAC is a lossless compression container for WAV files and not an audio format on it's own. | |
| DAC/Pre-Amp Advice With that system adding room correction is a pain. I also don't like the idea of room correction for stereo sound. I would focus on a decent DAC and a decent phono preamp. | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways @curtdr I'm guessing that the distracted mind listens differently. | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways If the system is good enough for FL then it should be perfectly fine for everything else. I find it interesting that sometimes during accidental listening or casual listening to hear more subtle or less obvious portions of the music that I might... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? In addition to the many greats above I would add Fiona Apple and Mavis Staples. |
