AI is today's cotton gin. You can say the same about streaming. Pretty soon AI will be used to seal the deal with some variation of this to win you over and you'll be content, happy in knowing just how convenient everything is: https://www.youtub... 
A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5
Congrats on your Atalante 5 speakers. I have the Atalante 3 and love what they do and plan on getting the 5s if and when I get a bigger place. Revival recommends at least 30 sq meters for them to sound their best but I have my doubts as I used to ...

@smerk I'm happy that you found what you needed to enjoy what you have. I'm kind of in the same boat in realizing what I actually need to be happy and wish I arrived at this moment some time ago. Have the happiest of holidays, you and your wife.  ... 
How does sound influence your appreciation?
A while back I posted that I love my system now that it's dialed in. It took my last speaker purchase to get to the point where practically everything sounds great, save for the poorly recorded stuff.  It's gotten to the point where I no longer l... 
I need a little help from a UK, German, Greek or Israel member.
I just went and googled bazaraki.com and asked if it was legit. You need to do the same and then get back to us. Lots of scams on what's considered a "legitimate" site. There's even a site showing how they can scam people.  Seems like having a ph... 
Happy Thanksgiving to All!
@secretguy Sorry to hear of your back surgery as it brought back memories of my brother in law's 12 hour surgery (supposed to be 2 -3 hours max). It took him a year to learn to walk again and still has drop-foot in one of his feet. He had a great... 
Happy Thanksgiving to All!
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Don’t overdo it like I just did. All the best, Nonoise  
Kilpisch + Ojas kO-R1
Lots of designs have the base speaker not only behind the front baffle, but also partially covered. You'll still hear and appreciate the base.  All the best, Nonoise  
DH Labs
DH Labs is having their 20% off sale until Saturday (excludes D-110 Silver Reference and only applies to orders over $100.00). They have a return policy as well. Like mentioned, you won't know until you try. All the best, Nonoise  
More potential bad news for some big names...
I'm not sticking up for Andrew Robinson but he related a story about audio snobbery in the old days when you'd walk in to listen to something and how it compared to buying his first Ferrari as a youngster and being treated like a nobody because of... 
Looking for a CD Player
As of 2022, CDs accounted for less than 3% of music sales. As of 2023, in England, CDs and vinyl accounted for 9.4% of music sales and year to year growth for CDs is at 5.4% ($127 million).  In the EU, CDs account for over 10% of all sales wit... 
Looking for a CD Player
For those with working memories, it was not that long ago that I and others noted that we’re not that into streaming, don’t think it’s as good as CDs, artists not properly compensated, etc. and got lambasted for "butting in" on an "open conversati... 
Do speakers need to be re-broken in?
How do you separate your perception from your expectations?  So if expect there not to be an improvement from break in, then you won't hear it. Got it. All the best, Nonoise  
More potential bad news for some big names...
bruce +1 That was very refreshing and most appreciated. (not to mention, succinct) All the best, Nonoise  
Looking for a CD Player
If all you want is to play CDs, this new CDP from Exposure might work for you. It uses old, 1990s tech with a CD only Sony transport and Burr-Brown PCM1704 multibit DACs and is a top loader, at just $3000. Here's a review of it and here's a vid...
