I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
Xfinity has a list of compatible modems on their website somewhere. Xfinity pricing is bizarre. All I wanna do is exclude all the premium channels that are bundled including a Netflix subscription I don't use I make an effort to do this they say ...

I went to the website because I'm really wanted to learn about these speakers. This is the worst website and very annoying. All I want to see is the speakers and maybe some specs and the model line and it was a major effort to figure out all your ... 
Puritan PSM156
Thinking about getting a transparent power isolator. The puritan is a conditioner which I’m not sure isn’t restrictive. It's a glorified Power filter  
Buying from Japan...Accuphase or Luxman what are the costs ? import duties etc
It's not worth the hassle to deal with a foreign entity. Let the dealer work for you and he's deserving of some compensation. Is your time of value? Do you like leading a stress-free Life? If you answer no then I would buy it from a foreign compan...

Very typical marketing campaign. The highest end of the range speakers perform well for a few hundred thousand dollars and then the lower end is marketed heavily as eye Candy. The diameter of the base drivers is too small and already bass range a... 
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
@mulveling Amazing looking system you have and that alpine height turntable is really cool. I was thinking about Vac a while back. But incorporating it into the home theatre environment didn’t seem right. For biamping I am trying tubes and soli...

So Jay is the key is the new marketer of this new speaker. The speakers are nice looking but I'm family to understand why they are so good. They are very thin the drivers are very small and they make up for this by adding a couple drivers. That's ... 
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?

Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?

Bookshelf speakers are deficient in the base area. Most people I know who bought these things end up buying subwoofers. Also the drivers are too narrow, I’ve never why drivers keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Their marketing hype is t... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
So much commentary. Have you considered trying a roon nucleus? It's a computer yes. But if you couple that with a decent streamer dac which is where the true value is you should be in pretty good shape. The merits of spending a lot of money on a ...

Ken Fritz article
What was Ken's net worth any idea? I'm not sure what the hurry was to get rid of all the gear they should've taken more time. Can't believe some of his family members didn't want any of it? My grandfather collected certain items that were very r... 
Mcintosh pre amp pricing
Most people who buy Macintosh amplifiers and pre-amplifiers just keep them sitting on a shelf if they stop using them. It’s a royal pain in the ass to sell used gear and new gear even if you have the old box. If you give it to a dealer as a trade...
