Going back to headphone ?
Let me add to the chorus -welcome back mr Mr M. Speaking broadly I agree with yr premise (assumiing I have it aright. A ggod system inn a properly treated room is the ideal but most folk living arrnangements dont allow for that. If one is not p... 
ETHERNET CABLES
I became a believer in conditioners affecting SQ quite by accident-bout a monster device to deal with tv issues and noticed better sound thereafter. So I am in the camp that isolation is a good thing. I have no idea whatsover whether and etherne... 
Record collecting versus hoarding
been collecvcting classical music since the early 70 s. had about 1500 lps -slimmed that down with cds replacing them have about 200 Lps left and maybe 500 plus cds thus far. Intend to leave the cds to either a library or music school so others ... 
The past meets the future
Im 75 and dont regret to change to digital at all. I do miss holding an album in my hands and perusing the picture on the cover and reading the notes on the back.  Since most of my LPs were classical was also treated to may old master pictures b... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
Seem to me that if a product measure worse in a parameter than another its objectively worse based on that parameter. But as I suggested before if one posits a given level of distortion is inaudible  reducing that level of distortion a hundredfo...

Well for myself Im in the if its technically better it cant hurt crowd speaking broadly. But fact is measurements that we currently have dont tell us anything about what something will sound like in our room. Its entirely possible gear will soun... 
Speakers for string Quartets
fascinating read, Re tonality of speakers Im amazed to hear strong recommedations for Vanderteen. My limited experience of that touted brand was entirely negative, One of our respected audio store here in Toronto was offerin a record cleanibg s... 
God doesn't need to know what time it is.
One of the posters made me snort my morning coffee. When I retired it was about the same time my son left school and was looking for work. Since I had 3 wristwatches I told him he could have whichever of mine he wanted? "why wd I need a watch?"... 
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
Well Ive only read down to the end of page 1 in responses but near as I can see this looks like 5,1 redux minus the centre & sub. For me in my room 5.1 doesnt work and for others perhaps the same since my listening sofa has to be aginst the b... 
It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it!
Went for an Arcam a49 when I last splurged out 5 yrs back. Was considering separate amp pre amp at the ttime but if I remember right balance controls werent typical for separate preamps. As it happens my listening space isnt ideal and also I hav... 
whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A
RE the tv fact is Ive moved speakers around per Jim smiths book and nver even thought of reflections off TV. Experience with sound absorption panel useful. Looks like tv has to go to another room-so be it. Well next move dedicated 20amp line ... 
whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A
Was noting that contrary to expectations the music in my room sounds much better when Im standing up. Thought it odd because most recommendations are to have tweeters at ear height sitting down. Ques pasa? Well I reasoned might be the fact that... 
whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A
soix 4 notion of putting arcam into bypass was temp measure to assess preamps effect -whether tube or the bp26. Never suggested preamp section of arcam might be better than the bryston indeed I expect not. I can acquire here from a local dealer ... 
whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A
Firstly thanks to all for the responses. For me the totems are keepers-not least because over and above their merits changing the speaker leads inevitably to considerations of electronics and synergy. Ie I expect if I change the speakers other t...
