| Tidal class-action MQA is in Administration. Individuals declare bankruptcy - not companies. In the UK administration provides a period of protection from creditors seeking to have a company wound up, while the administrator makes decisions on the future of the comp... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Bankruptcy applies to individuals. Administration is an option in the UK for insolvent companies. MQA's has been heavily loss making for the past couple of years. Administration involves handing over control of the company to an administrator who... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? Around $50k for a full range single source system - source, amplification, speakers and cables. For these purposes full range covers dynamics and bandwidth capable of generating adequate spl's in a medium/large room. | |
| Pass Labs XP32 or XP22? I have direct experience of both preamps paired with 60.8s. Unsurprisingly, the 32 is better than the 22. It's more refined tonally, and more organic sounding. But at this level, the differences are relatively finely graded, not night and day. The... | |
| Home audio or pro audio? Pro audio is a pretty meaningless term - too general. Top quality studio level gear is not inexpensive - though not at the same level of cost as high end domestic hi fi. Although, top end pro monitors can be fairly high en in term of price. DJ or ... | |
| Used vs. new @OP. If your choice is between a D4 or D2/3 802, get a used one - they are more natural sounding than the D4 (within the overall context of those speakers generally having a distinctive house sound). Make sure an second hand pair is fully tested t... | |

| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops A lot of new vinyl is noisy - moreso on average than back in the heyday of vinyl - in my experience. | |
| Passion, or ..... Precision? The pre-apex Bartok is rather analytical sounding - probably not the best match for the choice of listening material. | |
| Choosing new cables @OP, though they don't seem to have a big market presence in the US, Van den Hul cables are quite resolving and definitely not bright. The mountain interconnects and cloud speaker cables are excellent. Some people find them too soft sounding but o... | |
| What are some good things to do when going to an audition Separate out asking questions from listening. You might be surprised at the number of people who go to hi fi shops and don't actually listen but spend their time talking over the music. | |
| Women Who Rock First off, I'm not overly enamoured of the concept of "women who rock. However, @sgreg1 - Miley Cyrus absolutely rocks. I don't buy her stuff but she does rock, especially live. More specifically, on topic, Strange Kind of Women are an excellen... | |
| Streamers made in America? She ain't too good on gasoline, she burns a little oil, she was built by union labour on American soil. - From Sweet Little '66 by Steve Earle. | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @ozzy62. To take a punt on something is an English colloquialism for taking a chance or a gamble on something - hence "punter" is a synonym for "gambler". Regarding the topic itself, Alexx Vs are absolutely fabulous speakers but they do not have ... |
