| list of speakers @grislybutter Wow!! So much data!! I maxed out the memory of my Apple IIc all the way out to 64k, and STILL couldn’t fit it all in. But, seriously, this is pretty awesome. Very nicely done. Intelligent and intuitive layout. As one who has spent... | |
| Is more amp power always better...? Being a bit underpowered at "normal" listening levels will result in some degree of dynamic compression. The result will not sound "wrong" or objectionable, just not as impactful, or with as much contrast between quiet sounds and loud ones. Severe... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K @atmasphere @gregjacob Yes, I agree with you guys. | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K "Classic Rock and Roll" is a highly diverse genre that encompasses intimate acoustic guitars, dedicate piano passages, weepy vocals, full orchestra (including pipe organ) and, yes, raging guitars and pounding rhythms with more energy than a Jane F... | |

| Ken Fritz article I think it depends on the stated objectives and how those objectives effect others, and at what expense. Sometimes those outcomes are unknown in present time and may lie dorment for years (centuries?) before the final "balance sheet:" is known. | |

| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. It appears that the equipment utilimately found it's way into the hands of those who do appreciate it -- at "market value". It could have been worse. Demolition, and landfill? Tragic about his relationship with his son. We are all familiar with... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Without a doubt, my wife’s wedding ring. She "allowed" me to keep my hand-built 6’-4" Alpine white speakers in "her" Living Room, and a revolving door of boxes, cables, blinking lights and things that made (mostly good) noises.. Just to demostrate... | |
| McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier? Preppers: If the power goes down, there's enough reserve power in those amps to jump start your John Deere tractor. Just might save your life. | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN I’m thinking of setup up a GoFundMe page for guys who have never listened to premium PCs and/or couldn’t hear a difference in their system to fly them out to A’Goners who have system(s) where premium PCs have been undeniably impactful. Maybe, just... | |
