| Super integrated vs equivalent +$$ for new main system Gotta love the way Harbeth calls these "easy to drive" even though at 85dB they are virtually impossible to drive. Then someone "on a budget" pays good money only to learn sorry, forget about all the awesome integrated amps, these need a couple hu... | |
| DAC finalist please help @rossman Musician Pegasus r2r DAC is more than comparable in sound and build quality to Denifrips Pontus II. Listened and compared them both and saved over $1K by going with the Pegasus. Internals are nearly identical. They are not even close to b... | |
| Chick Corea Very sad. Great artist, and Return to Forever (w/ Stanley Clarke, Lenny White and others) was an outstanding band. | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? I am happy with my Hegel, but once owned a Jeff Rowland Concentra, and have very fond memories. | |

They were simply plain wrong. I’d never heard Lennon’s voice sound like that in the mid/lower register before.Very interesting, and reminds me of this interes... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? @kenjit If I had a nickel for every time you were dishonest in your posts, I’d be able to purchase some very fancy cables.Of the many archived posts relating to the subject speaker, the "bright and harsh" complaint is almost never found, and the v... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? How is it odd that some people dont like the sound of a speaker? It happens with every speaker. It's not odd at all, but you have predictably produced yet another dishonest straw man. I responded to a specific objection to the speaker, not a broad... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? @bdgregory I heard what I heard, and have no reason to make it up. Not sure why you think my claim dubious. I didn't suggest that you made up the claim. I simply found it odd, given both my experience, and the relative lack of similar opinions fro... |
