| Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500? This is a test. I want to know if this thread still reaches all those who posted. I have a great suggestion. | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. It's good to know that people still appreciate the Carpenters! I just turned off my TV, and I'm going to turn on some Carpenters. 😁 | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. When I'm reading comments on audiogon about the music people listen to, I pay attention because I'm open to new music and I wonder if anyone will mention the Carpenters. I'm aware of the bias against the Carpenters because some people think they'... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @Deep333 There are about 40 videos on utube of Nelson Pass discussing amplifier designs. He's very generous with information and one of the kindest humans. If you're interested, a good place to start would be interviews by Steve Guttenberg and Pa... | |

| a resonance in my left ear I’ve had a lot of ear problems. Several times I’ve experienced situations similar to what you described, and the problem was wax in my ear. Have an ENT, or qualified doctor look into your ear with an otoscope. This may seem silly or too obvious, ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Band's name: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Album: Dirt, Silver & Gold This album was a favorite during one of my most fun times of my life. I just listened again, and was amazed by how it still feels just right. Try it and if you don't like it... | |

| Non-Audiophile Audiophile question! The Mini is for background..... Actually Mini Maggie's are for nearfield listening. For me, nearfield listening has advantages such as eliminating problems of room acoustics, and I hear details better. Anyway, for the original question (speakers ... | |
