| Classical Music for Aficionados Funnily enough I just added Currentzis to my cart last night. I must have more different recordings of the Mahler symphonies than any other composer. I grew up listening to the venerable Solti cycle on Decca, so that became imprinted in a way, a... | |
| Prioritization of Power Cords I seem to remember this was asked not so long ago, and surprise surprise, there was no unanimity. However, I think the majority opted for the connection between wall and the power distributor/conditioner. In a sense that is the "source", even fo... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 Or with a very small footprint, get the cousin, the Silverline Prelude Plus. Within your budget and pretty sure you can find a gently used pair or a discount for even less. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados And they keep on coming, keeping the mail carrier busy.Daniil Trifonov + Philadelphia Orchestra, Rachmaninov 2 and 4, with some Bach in between as a palette cleanser. Sounding very good so far.But now I'll have to go back and listen to Ortiz, Jan... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Yes, they seem to have bought the rights to the designs and the names. Now you're got to wonder whatever they paid for those will find its way to people still owed refunds. As always, don't hold your breath. | |
| What will a preamp do for me? Yes, I'm curious too, 3 preamps in series??? | |

| Quad S-2 Yes, it you want some competent, modern, mainstream sound from loudspeakers, you could do worse than, say, the Z4. Thousands less than other speakers that sound very similar.At CAF, Tenacious Sound, that's TENACIOUS SOUND, a store with various ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Another recommendation from you guys, just in today, Yevgeny Sudbin recital, on BIS. Wow! Stirring stuff. The Liszt is indeed agitato molto. | |
| Luxman Class A Integrated Slight Buzzing Noise Well, yes and no. *Some* hum is caused by a ground loop, and *some* hum is caused by DC on the line, and both of these are cured fairly easily. Check out this guide.https://www.psaudio.com/ps_how/how-to-find-and-fix-hum/ However, there are *plen... | |

| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 If you're in the Seattle area you can also audition Chapman, PMC. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 At the end of the day, the most repeated advice is also the best: only your ears will tell you. You can try and reduce your list of possible candidates based on reviews or forum posts, but you might be knocking your ideal speaker off your list in... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @gnaudio I’ve had several amps over the years plugged in the same room in the same AC receptable.
