| Anyone have experience with Aerial Acoustics 6Ts? I think I gave an update in another thread but I did get the 6Ts. I was able to audition then with the Bryston 5 channel 140 watt amp they were originally paired with. Obviously they sounded amazing. But the Bryston required a pre-amp etc and that... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) @bdp24 , Are you seriously suggesting that the decline in public schools teaching the humanities began on the right? Even if you could prove such a thing, it would be hard to support that that is still the case. Technology has driven the STEM curr... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) mahgister wrote:"How can you distinguish head and tail in your life in north-america with a so abyssal ignorance?"Seriously? North America has cornered the market on abysmal ignorance? Where do you suppose the wisdom resides? Europe? That’s laugha... | |
| Looking for new streaming service. Some unusual requirements. I’m trying out Qobuz right now. Looks and sounds good. I have not spent much time messing around with it yet and one thing I don’t see is recommendations based on my listening history. Does it do that? Am I overlooking it? Thanks.If it does not ha... | |

| Women who enjoy quality speakers All stereotypes are open to defeaters. And they cut both ways. And they're not always inaccurate. I tend not to get worked up about them.....in an attempt not to be a stereotypical easily offended American. | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers I’m a relatively new member her, a year or so maybe, but I recall a member, Elizabeth, who was a frequent poster here. She was waaaaaay into hi-fi. Knew her stuff. Knew what she liked.....but was also in constant pursuit of that last tiny incremen... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers Some people, including women, simply do not care about and are not moved by what we audiophiles call sound quality. Much of my equipment was inherited and spent some time in my wife's sister's basement. Her sister is a trained musician, she sings ... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers So much of high end audio is designed to exploit typically masculine traits. Bigger, better, faster, more. Endless dissatisfaction. Endless fretting over what we might be missing and what some other dude says about our stuff. Sure, women are susce... | |
