Preference for speakers that are half the price. Has this ever happened to you?
I’ve had a pair of PMC MB2SE floor standing speakers for about 8 years - I used to have a pair of ML CLX - they are comparably priced - 40k or so.    i recently bought a pair of Magnepan LRS + and I move them in and out of my listening room - the... 
How to dispose of your system?
My son just uses his phone to some wireless KEF speakers - so not really into audio - I assumed he wouldn’t want it and was planning on downsizing before it becomes an issue (I’m almost 70) - fairly complicated set up with separates - combination ... 
News help choosing a SACD Player / transport
I’ve got a Lampizator big 7 dac - as well as an oppo sacd player and a pro ject rad standard red book transport -  I’ve given up on DSD - even though my dac will play DSD.  Sacd are mostly multi channel - and the only way I can successfully play ... 
Subwoofers for Martin Logan CLX's
I had CLX for about 8 years - I used a pair of ML Descent I subs with the CLX boards in the low pass section.  They worked really well - 3 servo controlled 8 inch drivers in ea and they were very fast -  I still have them and I use them with PMC ...

New Project RS2T transport
Hi -- I'm going to pick up a transport and I've seen a lot of great info on the CEC TL5 belt driven transport but not nearly as much as the RS2 T seems to be getting.  Perhaps because CEC has been around for a long time and the R22 T is new techno... 
Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker!
I’ve used Herbies audio slider discs under my Maple shades rack’s brass pointed feet - they isolate the rack and also allow me to slide the rack out if needed -  I would check out their web site - you can also ask them for suggestions - as they ar... 
Great musicians who should have been famous except....
Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Vinnie Colaiuta, Lennie White, Chester Thompson  - “under rated”. I think not -  all of them are some of the most respected and well revered players in the business - dead or alive ( tony) -  they have never been under... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Sorry - the specs above are for stereo single amp - the power is considerably more in mono block configuration  
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
http://www.spectronaudio.com/musicianIII.htm600 at 8ohms.  800 at 4 and 1300 at 2 ohms - it does not double the power when halving the impedance - but it is apparently stable at 2 ohm   I’m not an electronics engineer - but the specs are in the li... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Spectron Musician III mk2 mono blocks - I believe they will provide around 300 watts at 1 ohm - or it might be at 0.5 ohm -   I used a pair with ML CLX for many years with fantastic results - but these are only avail used -  they will drive just a... 
Any Love For Bryston Here?
I recently bought a pair of Bryston 28B3 cubed mono blocks under the assumption ( or hope) that they would be a better match for some new PMC MB2SE speakers --- as Bryston and PMC had a long partnership & I believe many of their speakers were ... 
Music Server - The Search Begins
I’m a fan of separating my storage from my Dac and my renderer / player - that way - the individual components can be upgraded or replaced if needed.   I’m very happy with a dedicated QNAP server networked in another room - many size choices - you... 
This is juvenile...
If I didn’t have to hear the singing - or if you can actually call her a singer ! I’d have to say Jennifer Lopez
