| What Integrated Amp do You use Plinius 8200MkII … having Ralph totally refresh it … probably my end game, though I must admit a big McIntosh could tempt me if $ were no or minor issue. Hard to justify 4+ times the cost for what I think is only modest improvement (though aesthet... | |
| Original Legacy Studio Speakers @rfnoise not sure if you’ve already completed your decision process … re your last question … yes, you probably can expect some caps can have drifted some out of spec (but probably more at risk in those much more than 20 years … I have some speake... | |
| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? Wife will take all the Beatles, Buffett, and Louis Armstrong recordings, if only to preserve for the music she wants at HER funeral. 😁Daughter not interested at this stage with 3 young children. A bit more with SIL. I hope as the house calms down ... | |

| To horn or not to horn @isochronism ... I had components for 3 of essentially those (dual 1226 topped with 2446 CD’s with 2385 horns. (The offer cabinet and the drivers/horns came separately with no x-over (was going to use miniDSP’s). This was to be for the front stage... | |
| Separate Amp for AV receiver I’ve had at least ten receivers over the years, and find very modest to minimal gains from ‘upgrading’ or changing receivers themselves (WRT SQ, changing for features understandable). I did however get more noticeable improvements adding an outboa... | |
| Has anyone done this with a Bluesound Vault? Haven’t done it yet, but will be at some point (just 10% into ripping my CD’s ... isn’t this a function of re-indexing the library? | |
| Old favorites that you still play and still "feel". Love berner99’s inclusion of Renaissance ... Live at Carnegie Hall is great, and Annie Haslam is vastly under appreciated.In semi-heavy rotation here (or at least put a smile on my face):Southside Johnny ‘Hearts of Stone’Santana ‘Moonflower’Holly ... | |
