| Real musicians don't need "awards." The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is just as valid as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.) | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @spenav Had a look at your setup and your solution with hanging a panel on the TV seems to be a more practical (and less expensive) solution. If I make it so it can either hang the panel on a French cleat situated above the TV when I am using t... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers I am planning to use a pull down TV wall mount that is built to allow a TV mounted above a fireplace to be pulled out and down. Instead of mounting a TV on it, I would mount a diffuser slightly larger than my TV that would be above the TV when I... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? +1 Tool Your should also check out LP (Laura Pergolizzi) | |
| Rick Derringer R.I.P Saw him live with Johnny Winter And (featuring Double Trouble). A very good guitar player that never got the recognition he deserved. RIP | |

| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? @billstevenson "Ask yourself what is it you really seek to learn." I'm curious. Did you watch a lot of "Kung Fu" when you were younger? | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @gano I appreciate the apology, but to say that Canadians have "no pressure to be outside" only underlines the stereotype you apply to Canada as a whole. I live in Vancouver. It is on the west coast, about 2 hours north of Seattle. 65% of Canad... | |

| Buyer Beware If the designer says their USB has issues with certain products, that should be made clear to anyone interested in their products. As to your situation. I think you are screwed because you did not buy it new. Some manufacturers are very good in s... | |
| Streaming music and movies from tv Without knowing what gear you are running it is difficult to say, but personally I have an Anthem AVR connected to my Musical Fidelity M6si via an HT bypass connection. it works seemlessly and allows for the HDMI and ARC connectivity and centre ch... | |
| ??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ??? I am more of an opera fan than classical music, but one thing I would do is really pay attention to the sound. I have been to hundreds of concerts as well and although some amplified concerts sounded great, nothing was close to an opera, a live ja... | |
| New preamplifier - Backert Rhumba Extreme, Aesthetix Calypso Signature, Ayre KX5 Twenty I don’t have any experience with any of your candidates regarding a new preamp, but if home theatre is a must, then this will help with finding something with HT bypass capability. https://www.audiophile.no/en/articles-tests-reviews/item/426-ampl... | |
| Any thoughts about the RR-888 Weird and more than a little creepy. Not sure I would take the plunge, regardless of favourable reviews. If I want to alter my reality, I think I will stick with a nice red wine. |
