    A Closet Discovery

    Hi What would you want to replace the Buckeye? I believe the amps will sound identical if the B&K is functional and to-specs. With the idle consumption of the B&K (60 watts , no input according to the manual), likely to be superior to that of the Buckeye. Peace

    Fallout on Amazon

    Hi I am not a gamer, thus cannot comment on fidelity to source material. It stands out for itself, without knowledge of the game IMO. Some characters remain unbelievably clueless even when confronted with the obvious. That doesn't deter on the general quality of the Series. Agreeably surprised...

    End of an era - Lyric Hi-FI closing after 60+ years

    Hi I have mixed feelings about Lyric's. Back in the days when I was a young, subjective audiophile, utterly unable to afford the wares Lyric carried, I got one of my very first "High End " Audio system from Lyric's at a very low price: a pair of Magnepan Tympany, Modulus 2 preamp and...

    Are you satisfied with your home Audio System?

    I should clarify.. the strikeout were for fun On my side I don't need to modernize or simplify the system. it is modern (as of 2024 :)) and simple: AVR as the center of the system (2-CH and HT) and a DSP to control the subwoofers. Do not see the need and expanse for DLBC when MSO can do it for...

    Does listing equipment help anything?

    Hi I wouldn't find it all useless. My present system is inspired by @RayDunzl secondary system. I added a few things but it came to me when I realized that his LSR308 measured, well enough in his room , especially after EQ. He mentioned that he used the secondary system often.. I cannot stop...
