| Pick and post 1 record you never tire of and play over and over... Allman Brothers live at the FillmoreOh yes! In Memory of Elizabeth Reed ❤️ | |
| Pick and post 1 record you never tire of and play over and over... Anything Steely DanI was never a huge fan back in the day, but I recently got the remastered AJA, and it's so good! | |
| Wild anecdote on variables in a listening room / studio (from Darko) I should have expected snark ;)If you’ve read Jim Smith’s book, "Get Better Sound", he discusses the importance of the room, and what a big part proper tuning and acoustic treatment of the listening room makes in getting the most out of one’s hifi... | |
| Vandersteen Moel 2Ce better than Model 1B used in midsize room I have the newest 2CE, the Signature 3 (they replaced 20 year old 2CE's...I guess you can conclude I like the Vandy sound!).My room is about 12x15 with the speakers on the long wall. I’m about 8 feet from the speakers. They sound excellent. The ne... | |
| A true audiophile can put together a resolving and enjoyable system for under $15k. BOSE? :) | |
| Keith Jarrett on the importance of audio sound quality Thanks for sharing. I need to listen to more by him, but I have the Koln concert and adore it. | |
| DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler? I'm curious about the Chord Hugo TT2 with and without the Scaler. I've been told it's amazing too. | |

| The best speakers over 50K tomic601 You have Treo CTs AND Sevens! Good God, man. I'm dying for Treos and you went to heaven with Sevens. Congrats. ;) | |

| Which integrated amplifier . mcmvmx -So sorry that you are not winning the fight against that damn cancer. Godspeed.If your daughter isn't a hi-fi nut, the simplest system possible might be best. Maybe you can find a good dealer to trade in your current system for something... | |
| Speakers which always sound good LARSEN! Either the 6, the 8, or best, the 9 (the 8 sounds as good, I’m told, but the 9 is prettier). They put up a wall of sound that is unique, can go against the wall (preferred), and are very much like live music. In a living room, they fill th... | |
| McCormack DNA with Schiit Preamp? Do you want a preamp or passive line stage? I ran a Reference Line Preeminence One passive linestage for years with my DNA-1, and it was great. Straight wire, no gain. I didn’t need a phono stage and used the DAC in my old CD player. I decided I w... | |
| KEF LS50 - Question Taking a page out of B&W's book, KEF's PR team is now much larger than their design team. The rest is... history.I wondered about that. |
