| Speaker upgrade if you liked Tyler then there are these: T2 Floorstanders – tyleracoustics.com which are supposed to be (by some margin) the best speakers that Tyler had produced to date. Dannie Ritchie and GR Research had a major hand in them. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers There appears to have been a major culling of models at Spatial, leaving just two currently available, the M4 and the X4, both in their "Ultra" version, whatever that denotes. Part of it may be parts availability, and I suppose also possibly cust... | |

| Audio Envy SP12 Speaker Cables The SP12's have an interesting form factor. They're not exactly fully flat ribbon (think Nordost) but they's certainly not round either. I'd be interested to know how they're constructed inside. | |
| Leonard Cohen Tribute - Here It Is A whole bunch of singers have done cover albums over the years. A couple of the better ones are by Judy Collins and Perla Batalla. If you like Cohen's gravelly voice, you should check out Sean Rowe. You'll recognize one of his songs from the cl... | |
| Cables to settle brightness Herbs and spices should never be used to modify the flavor of a dish. You should always achieve the exact flavor you are aiming for through the choice and combination of the primary ingredients. | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen Remember, Borresen is also Ansuz cables and power supplies and Aavik amplifiers, so if he's really taking that stance, it's worthy of note.
