    Interesting listening experiences with a few CD players

    Desirable cd players but all the more desirable if you also have the original box and user manuals. It is soooooo nice to have the original box. We should do a comparison of the boxes; some boxes are better than others.

    Where do you predict the tube market will go?

    When gasoline auto engines and gasoline lawn mowers are penalized to the point they are rarely actually operated at the same time electricity hungry tubes will be rarely operated just like those old timey steam operated farm tractors. Similarly, long ago people stopped using sea galleys...

    How many on ASR don't runs subs of any kind.? & why.....

    I don't need no stinkin' subs. Too much bass is like too much garlic which covers the delicate flavors.

    Addressing Forum Tedium

    Going back to the 1970's and 1980's I bet you would find that most competently made calculators, remarkably, gave the same or highly similar results.

    Best speaker for sound stage under 4k

    Topping DX5 II

    Possibly the USA recent tariffs on Chinese products complicated the planned introduction of this product. Who would want to introduce a splendid new product and have sales to the USA go nutsy. President dickhead changes his position daily. This product interests me.

    Properties of speakers that creates a large and precise soundstage

    I just purchased and received a pair of Neumann KH 150 speakers. My normal speakers are Revel Performa F208 which are fairly large. In my initial listening to the Neumann speakers I must say they are among the best speakers I have heard for soundstage and localization of instruments. For me...

    Audiolab 6000CDT, bright sounding, burn in time?

    this tread is an exercise in practiced stupidity. It is like talking on and on about the various commercial additives you can add to your fuel in a gasoline auto.

    Vintage Audio Advertising

    It is interesting that tube gear had a revival and that equipment from Conrad Johnson, Sonic Frontiers, Jolida, and so forth were popular. It was a marketing success kind of like reviving smoking cigarettes and cigars. Or for that matter, expensive wrist watches. When I now go into Barnes and...

    Are you buying now because you anticipate higher prices?

    For me there is no fun in buying now. I enjoyed buying and trying Chinese audio equipment that is priced such that I can afford to take a risk on whether it suits my needs, and similarly so for Chinese and Japanese watches. I know that the gaming and aggressive tactics of the current USA...
