| Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries @mahgister has many fine examples. But he’s overlooked the finest composer for piano, and the finest virtuoso performer on the piano, of the latter half of the 20th Century. But for now, I provide a link to what is my favorite composition ... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? I’ve been at this hobby for 55 years. I built my first amp, a Dyna 70, when I was 14. I was born on the wrong side of the tracks. So I’m a cheap rat bastard. I believe the system I have built up over the years stands up to 98% of the stuff ... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! I’ve been using Altec 604Cs for 46 years. For decades, audiophiles would sneer at them, calling them, among other things I won’t repeat here, “PA speakers”. Well, I’ve been happy with them, and like clothing fashions, what goes around comes arou... | |

| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @hce1 And why the need to virtue posture? I think these sorts of questions are unanswerable clickbait You are new here. You will learn soon enough. | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Why do people insist on posing these kinds of absurd questions all the time? | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? To me, the test is: do you hear more of the emotion in the recording performance? In the end, that’s what it’s all about. more emotion = more engaging = less listener fatigue. | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? My audio engineer feels that it was a current spike that shorted one of my tubes, and so after 55 years I finally caved in and bought a Furman power conditioner from Crutchfield, on sale from $1000 down to $599. It provides a “current reservoir” ... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Well …. I’ve spent about $35K, … with the OTL rebuild, now maybe closer to $40K over 50 years and while there are systems that sound as good, I haven’t heard one that sounds better. And this stuff is so subjective: what sounds good to me may soun... | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? Hi there. I’m one of those whose system has had a fairly stable configuration for 35 years, no need to go out and get the latest thing, I just have what works for me. That said, I now have a semi-anechoic listening room, and I had both of my NYAL... | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? I have that Maxwell poster, sitting in a drawer however. I have not seen the McIntosh poster. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @daveyf I think I’m trying to say that a large speaker in a moderate (what I have) to large size room is ideal. I would think that there must be a formula that would measure room size to volume of air mass that technically would be ideal, thoug... | |

| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? I will simply second what @atmasphere has said. My audio engineer says more or less the same thing. | |
