| Unusual countries for audio gear I have family in Norway and it amazes me how much hifi comes from such a small population. | |
| A review on the Plinius Audio reference dual mono M-10 preamplifier @teajay I’m looking forward to reading your review. I always enjoy them. | |
| Swapped the baby Maggie’s in this evening I definitely don’t change out speakers every three-four months. I’d probably be in jail if I tried. 😁 Although I have had probably a dozen or so speakers in the fifty plus years I’ve been into hifi and still have four pairs hanging around. | |

| Reinforcing delicate 1941 speaker cones. Be careful what you ask for. Not only would changing/adding anything to those drivers diminish their value, you’ll also change the sound qualities of them. | |
| New In 2025 Wow. | |

| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes I guess parts is parts and pieces is pieces and it don’t matter in what order they go cause it’s all gonna sound the same. Really? |
