I can understand not liking the Beatles as performers, but I find it hard to believe that a music lover cannot find anything to like in Lennon/McCartney compositions.

My question is: Why have more than one DAC in your system? I have the one, and I'm moving on....

It seems to me that things things are handed, but the left speaker is on the right and vice versa. Then they should work fine.

My Mom got my Dad an HH Scott 344-B Receiver late 60's early 70's. It was defective. After many letters and increasingly irate phone calls, she actually got Hermon Hosmer Scott on the phone. They shipped us a brand new unit which solved all the problems. It only had an FM tuner with a...

The Chesky LC-1 Bookshelf Monitor, of course!

Wonderful. We had a 1973 Pontiac Grand Prix in the same color--which GM called "Mesa Tan".

Beautiful. Just as impressive is what looks like a polished chrome 35mm camera of some type. Amazon has the watch, but makes a distinction between "swan neck" and "no swan neck" models. What does that mean??? Please advise.

That may be true, although is sounds like it may go against the grain of many in this forum--brace yourself. But for anyone who is comfortable sitting at a desk listening to music, I recommend a good pair of speakers which are designed for near-field listening rather than even the best...

I agree--although I don't see how this comment has much to do with a 7 year old DAC which is most likely discontinued. I bought what I thought was a decent pair of headphones--a Sennheiser HD660, planning to use it when I wanted to listen to music as suitable levels without disturbing my...

Brother products have long been exceptional but under-rated and relatively unknown. My father worked for WT Grant in the 1960's and most of the electronics and home appliances were named store-branded "Bradford", but they were made by Brother. They also seem to make everything, including the...

And I just put the same tires on my 2016 Honda Civic Coupe!

My dad insisted on getting one of these things, but the model he bought actually had arrows which indicated the direction of the pour. The claim was that it would essentially double the quality (and value) of a wine so that a $12 bottle would taste like $24 bottle. I enjoyed taunting him by...

I saw this post and listened. Entirely unremarkable. And while my system is hardly the best, I don't think it was recorded that well either.

I'm using this Fosi in a very small bedroom with a pair of Polk LsI9's which have a similar power appetite as those JBL speakers, so I went with the 48V power supply which I bought in addition to the standard 32V. I noticed that the amp gets what I would consider hot even when "idling". I...

For anyone interested, here is an update: I bought a matched pair of 6922 tubes and swapped them for the gain stage tubes on the Freya. The popping sound continued, so I assumed that the bad tube, if there was one, was one for the "Cathode Follower Output Stage". I reinstalled the original...

This is my father's circa 1950 Omega "Bumper" automatic given to him by my mom as an engagement gift and which I inherited in 2016. It was inoperable. He had broken the crystal at some point which scratched the face. I sent it to Omega (now Swatch) here in the U.S. and they said that they...

The architects were typically against mounting fire strobes on walls which were more often than not lacquer or millwork panels. Ceiling mounted strobes were preferred, but they would have to always align with nearby lights or other equipment. Access doors for above ceiling equipment were...

I've often come across speakers like this when I was building high-end retail stores like Chanel and Dior. Those designers didn't want to see fire strobes, let alone speakers. They were fine for background music applications.

Oh boy, my dyslexia is kicking in. But I will try that. Thank you.
