On this forum we have opinions, debates, argument galore! So, try this concerning violins: https://www.violinist.com/blog/laurie/20175/21158/ Now, in late March in my home I will have “Perfect Music Sound”! In celebration of my beautiful wife’s birthday, I have engaged a violin and piano...

https://www.reelsoundaudio.com/ I was intrigued by the ad in ”Stereophile” this month. I first thought, “Why?”; then, “Why not?” Your thoughts, please…

This is a program of science in general. The listed episode is worth viewing. Highly recommended! Tillman

I subscribe to both, mainly to support the hi-fi world in general. I refer, dear readers, to the latest issue of each and the Editor’s intro to the magazines… Jim Austin, of Stereophile, presents a lucid view of goings-on in “Thoughts on reviewing”; I rather enjoyed his take on subjective...

On the preference ratings, what is the standard deviation in those measurements? From my background in Laboratory Technology, a blood sugar reported as 100 mg/dl with a procedural SD of +\- 3 mg/dl could have an actual value of between 97 and 103 that is perfectly acceptable precision. Just...

At least a total cost that I do not recall having seen. C H Precision, presented in the latest TAS, utilizing separate pre-amp/ power supply modules and a pair of mono-block amps has a total price of; $340,000.00. (Three hundred forty thousand Dollars)* The usual lack of measurements, along...

In surfing the net, I ran across a new speaker design… has anyone heard of it or even better, actually heard it? https://www.mayht.com/technology It looks intriguing, being smaller and lighter; claims to use less power and equal output of much larger speakers, especially bass. Sadly, no...

I purchased a WD My Cloud 4x4 Tb solid state NAS and failed to install a Roon system on it. I am NOT tech savvy and need some help. I am all Apple and running Roon successfully on an iMac. Just want a new node!

Do any of you recall Hugh Lampman, host of Music ‘til Dawn out of Dallas, Texas? Program began at midnight CST and ran to 5:00 am. He programmed all of the popular classical composers, lots of chamber music, soloists of the time and even light opera. I grew up looking forward to his show.

Wayne was the sole proprietor of Quads Unlimited in Florida. He managed to rebuild Quad 53s to play loudly and not blow up while maintaining the unique sound qualities. Same with ESL 63s. I have stacked 53s he made for me over 10 years ago that still run great! Both as a Quad expert and a...

Much discussion concerning equipment cost inspires this survey...

As the title suggests, I would appreciate suggestions from the hive mind. Non-sequitur: after following ASR for an extended time, I purchased a Cambridge EVO 75 and Roon (with a 4 TB NAS). I am middle-aged, celebrating my 80th this week, and am suffering anxiety over the learning curve for...

I think this system is for commercial purposes rather than home systems. I think it is interesting but technically above my pay grade. Your comments are most welcome!

I am using an iPad with Tidal, Blutooth to a Cambridge BT100 then wired KEF R3s. Also KEF Kube sub. What is the best method to apply EQ? I have a calibrated mic.

Interesting app... https://musiccircles.netlify.app/ ...worth a look.

I have been on this forum for a while and it suddenly occurred to me that my history is almost scary! My recorded musical journey began before solid state existed in the late 40s... It was still rewarding and fun then as well! My first records were 78s on a hand wound Victrola! The tweak then...

It is a New Year! Time to remember ASR with a donation! Think of all the money you have saved because ASR! Thank you Amir!!
