What did your system look like 30 years ago?
30 years ago I was still using my Denon DP-60L with Grace F9e, C-J PV6 to Acoustat TNT-120 driving a pair of (45 y/o) JBL L100s (orange). I used a Sony 75ES CD player and a Sony 75ES DAT player. The analogue part of that system is still in use in ... 
Does Age Matter?
77 and I just traded my 350+ CDs for vinyl. I have nearly 600 DATs but the players won't work. I've been listening to vinyl for 75 years, I never gave up my vinyl rig even at the height of the CD/DAT craze. I never had R2R but I coveted them.

You can always count on Tekton man to shill that stuff. 
RIP Tony Rice
I saw him several times at a festival I used to go to in Florida back in the late 90's and early 00's.He played with Grissman often there, but also many other bluegrass stars, as well as solo. Most of the time when he was not doing his set he'd be... 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
Slim, I read the Wikipedia thing long ago. I have been familiarizing myself with the digital amps for a long time. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I have a degree in electronics and spent most of my career in digital. No, I'm not an a...

"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
Slim, Yeah, I’m not able to pay new car prices for amps. My whole system was the cost of a decent sedan, lock, stock and barrel. I’m more budget/value based. These are in my range. But, I’m not in the equipment revolving door game. It took a few i... 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
@slimpickins5  I don't doubt that there are some very expensive Class D amps that will sound great. They are way out of my budget, mostly for the 5% who make too much money. There are some modestly priced units that sell within my budget, but unti... 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
@slimpikins I know what you are saying. The class D is a switching amp, just like a wall wart. I don’t like the sound. SS amps typically sound similar to me. Series T/i uses the same Class A/B power amplifier sections with large, high current powe...

MC likes to twist what he said to drive his point or dispute someone. He can change his words as he goes, post to post, thread to thread. Never two alike.He also likes to twist what others say, but we won’t go there now.Whatever is convenient at t... 
Cables 101, new student, first question
@clearthinker you guys should hold Tekton man to account on his cable painting misinformation.You're dead on, Tekton man, as you call him, is full of it and misinformation too. 
Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
@hilde45 I have both. I use a Lynx Hilo to digitize and to playback. It does 24/192kHz. I can say without a doubt that the analogue version of a recording sounds just a little bit better than the digital version, on my system. You may get differen... 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
@northman I hear you. My room is 12X11, so I know of what you speak. My near field system has two subs. I chose the REL T/7i over the JL simply because I value Class A/B over Class D in an analogue system. If I were digital I might not mind Class ... 
I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what?
