| Bookshelf speakers- Buying a Bargain @elliottbnewcombjr those AR-2ax are beautiful! | |
| Bookshelf speakers- Buying a Bargain Bargain? At what price point? I needed some bookshelf speakers to get me by while my big floorstanders are going to be refurbished. On a lark I got the relatively new Triangle BR04 speakers (bigger than the BR03 and with a better crossover) for ... | |
| How important is an LCD screen on your streamer? I hear most of you. And I bet most of you are nearly as old (if not older) than my 67 years. For us, we "get it". Adding a cheap LCD screen to a device at a certain price point will likely add a small amount of signal noise. On the opposite hand, ... | |
| Your favorite obscure song @ezwind Donna The Buffalo covered Bob Dylan - "Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)" several times in concert. Thought they did an excellent job on it back in the early 2000s when there was a particular singer with them (who no longer is). Check the ... | |
| Neil Young Ironically, he said it himself, "Better to burnout, than to fade away".... | |
| Neil Young I've liked his music ever since CSNY and Rust Never Sleeps. As I grew older I don't think much of his leftist politics or his throwing temper tantrums and taking his music off certain streaming platforms for a while, but that's beside the point. I... | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed You didn’t mention how big your room is, and whether you can pull speakers 3 feet to 5 feet out into it while listening to music or how far you will be from them in your listening position. You didn’t mention whether you listen loud, medium, or at... | |
| just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof! My friend did this with his old ESS Heil Air Motion Transformer AMT-1A speakers in the late 1970s (which we thought were "high end"). He made some nice wooden frames to hold the chicken wire and back in those days he had to spray paint it black. H... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please Buying the music is great if the expense isn’t going to hurt your wallet too much, and hey, I'm sure it supports the artists far more, but as @ghdprentice noted, there are several third-party apps that can download your playlist as a .csv (Excel t... | |
| They should charge more for it… @dayglow "In transportation is a new Ferrari a better value proposition than a new Cirrus SR20?" At least when the Ferrari stalls it doesn’t need a parachute. (Just kidding). Seriously, I’m a boring aerospace engineer working as a mechanical en... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? If you have the room and much of the proper equipment to do a good job of building the cabinet, then go for it with one of the established companies’ great kits. But economically, if you don’t already have all that fairly expensive equipment and k... | |
| Apple Music on iOS 26 I believe the general consensus is that, at least until now, Apple made it too difficult to get an actual CD quality or higher resolution audio into our stereo systems. The software would always resample everything to 48KHz and spit it out. Apple ... | |
| DeVore O/96 Unboxing Beautiful! Hope you enjoy them greatly. If your wife wouldn't accept these, threaten to buy some Tekton Moabs in orange. | |
| New In 2025 Not audiophile, but interesting musically, is the forthcoming reissue (finally!) on September 19th of Buckingham \ Nicks from 1973. The prices for 1st run vinyl of this album were stupid crazy on Discogs. | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? @mylogic We are a long ways from the 1970s. Take a look at this and the capabilities of current A.I. in making derivative music based on nearly every piece of music created by humans. And it will only get better and better. Don’t misunderstand m... |
