| Bi amping with two different pairs of monoblocks When mixing brands your answer is maybe. Physical it’s possible, but you probably won’t get the synergy you’re looking for. The biggest obstacle is that every company has a specific sound and finding two companies that sound the same isn’t going... | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life Fortunately my wife knows how much I enjoy the music and how much research I do before I buy anything, so she has never said no to anything I’ve purchased. She also likes music playing and suggests I turn it on fairly often. I guess I’m a lucky g... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables Before you mess up a premium quality set of cables, buy some Amazon brand 12 gauge speaker wire. A lot of people can’t hear the difference. | |

| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? After weeks of carefully listening while setting up my new speakers, (critical listening) Now I spend most of the time reading while I listen. Sometimes, I’ll listen with my eyes closed and try to pick out locations of voices and instruments, so... | |

| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. @gano No worries, you did not annoy me in any way. I really don’t like where politics have gone in the last few decades. So I do my darn best to stay as far away from them. That’s why I repeated that my question was not politically motivated. ... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. @sns I did see that video and I even commented on it. I don’t think I said exactly what I wanted to say, but he was doing his schtick on speakers from 2018 and that there have been updates to that speaker since that model was released, two I be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pippi Me to. Simple 3-5 piece jazz is most of what I listen to. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray You put a bug in my eye and now most of what I listened to this weekend has been Esperanza Spalding. This morning I listened to Fred Hersch & Esperanza Spalding, Alive At The Village Vanguard. (2023) If they brought this performance... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video @knownothing I had amazing results with the Gaia ones so I bought some pucks to go under my other equipment and I have to say that I’m really not hearing much if any difference. A few years back I bought a couple of sets of those adjustable spri... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video I have Oak floors with carpet and pad in my main listening room. I tried all the simple things on my floor standers and noticed very little difference. I then got a couple pieces of granite and put them under my speakers and it made a noticeable d... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. @gano I hate politics! And you will never see me post about politics, but tariffs are sometimes non political and have been around for decades. What’s happening in the US today is not political. It’s one man’s view of taxation being used to c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Oh and Esperanza Spalding has a beautiful voice! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray You talking about Christian Scott? He’s not an old timer, but he’s definitely been around for a while. Not sure how many albums he’s played on, but he’s probably put out a dozen or more as Chief Adjuah. |
