CD no more produced?
The title of this thread sends shivers to me because I do not want to rely on streaming if I cannot own the music, also streaming can involve more components (eg computer, laptop). To date my music collection is mainly of vinyl and Cds.  I listen ... 
Whats playing on your system today?
UFO’s "Strangers in the night" is a very special album for me stretching from my teens. It showed what talented group UFO was back then and they had Michael Schenker as the lead guitarist, his contribution was awesome and so individual in his styl... 
Scansonic mb serie
Just to say that at the Sound & Vision Bristol HiFi show I heard Scansonic M6 floorstander (at the time price was £1000.00 now understand it has gone up) what immediately struck me was their resolution, airy sort of 3d presentation and realist... 
Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing?
For me there are many songs that have immediate impact, a lot of them are well recorded (eg. Dire Strait Songs, Pink Floyd,) so they will sound good on a very expensive system and equally sound good on an under £1000 system, so I purposefully do n... 
Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase
Yes, I love my class A Luxman L-590AXII. Before Luxman, I was using the Hegel H360 and was thinking about upgrading to the Gryphon Diablo 300. I’ve heard the Diablo at the audio show and loved the sound. But thanks to @greginnh for recommending th...

Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
Deep Purple sort of borrowed many tunes from previous artists to create their famous pieces, however the members of that band admit to it, so obviously they feel safe from any looming court proceedings.... 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
This thread piqued my interest on this band Greta Van Fleet so looked them up on youtube.  Wow what a lovely refreshing Rock Band from youngsters!  I don't care if they sound like LZ, in a way that is the sound which helps them and the music scene... 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
"Enjoy the music, today’s new will be tomorrow’s classic." cited from gillatghHowever the problem of present music of today is in some today’s music recites the yesterday’s classic inorder to have the excuse of todays song..?  
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
When I am being diplomatic I say music is subjective, something like beauty is in the eye of the  beholder.  But some modern noises masquerading as 'music or poetry' is just pure shite.  When someone mentions Classic Rock I think of Deep Purple, T... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Not sure if this has been covered on this thread.  In regard to BiWiring speakers from the amplifier, does this seperate route of connection in general improve the sound of the speakers or is it just one of those HiFi myths (pure BS?). 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
I grew up on Classic Rock, but if that was the only music I listened to I would seriously be sectioned and entered into a lunatic assylum!

Hi Ramtubes,In response to my query about damping you asked for a link to Hegelwhich is: https://www.hegel.com/You will see they describe what they put into their components,  also when looking up integrated amps, the damping factor is specified e...

For the OP what are the pros and cons in relation to damping for amplifiers; eg Hegel store great reliance for damping in relation to driving difficult speakers.
