| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... Is there anywhere you can audition Golden Ear speakers? IMHO, they outshine many more expensive speakers. In any case, you really should listen before you buy. | |
| Looking for a good solution to cover my TV between the speakers. Cant move it I bought a black bed comforter (at Bed, Bath, & Beyond) that I drape over my 73”. Since it is a few inches bigger than the TV, I fold the excess on the side and at the top behind the set in the top corner and use a plastic clamp to secure the ... | |

| Seeking Streaming Receiver Recommendations I recently recommended the Bluesound Powernode to my friend for his Spica TC-60 speakers. He’s very happy with it. Radio stations can be streamed along with the usual streaming services. A nice and compact one-box solution. | |

| Personal vs. Market Values There is no truffle in truffle oil. It is artificially produced to resemble the taste of truffles. If you’ve ever tasted real truffles, especially white truffle, you have tasted something heavenly . . . and expensive! $6,000/lb++ | |
| Dear Audiogon, Websites don’t necessarily control the ads that show up. There’s usually a service (like Google or Doubleclick) they sign up with that distributes the ads. | |
| Converting Mark Levinson 331's to monoblocks Mark Levinson used to make a bridge kit precisely for this purpose. I think it used to sell for around $400, but it may have required professional installation. So, it makes sense, but not necessarily be practical based on the cost. And I don’t kn... | |
