    What type of speaker still sounds good at low listening levels?

    Couldn't agree more regarding Harbeth speakers. I have the Harbeth Super HL 5+ 40th Anniversary speakers. Also, try any Klipsch for low level listening. Very sensitive and great sounding speakers.

    Handling Heavy Amps

    I admit I'm dreading the day that I have to move my beloved 105 lb Pass Labs INT 250 integrated amp. I was able to somehow place the amp on a chest high wooden cabinet all by myself without scratching or denting anything or destroying my spinal column. I was reasonably certain I would never have...

    What is a good, simple, effective, ad blocker for my Android phone?

    Man, the ads are getting out of control. You often can't eliminate them without uninstalling the affected apps. Is there a good simple, effective, ad blocker for Android? Recommendations?

    Roon ARC

    What is it? Any advantages adding it to my system. All I need to do is download it. But I'd like to learn a little more about it before downloading.

    Android Phone, Tidal, And Qobuz

    I have Tidal and Qobuz installed on my new Samsung/Android phone. However, I'm having difficulty finding the transport for both streaming services. The meta information (discography, biographic info, other album info) shows up for both streaming services but when I want to listen to albums on...

    Harbeth Super HL 5+ 40th Anniversary Speakers

    After 2 years of ownership I'm extremely happy with these very overlooked speakers. Especially with my application and my "smallish" listening area. The room is 14' x 27' but only half of it is dedicated for home audio. The speakers sound truly incredible, with brass, woods, strings, and...

    Roon And HQ Player 4

    I noticed there hasn't been any recent discussion on this forum regarding Roon and HQ Player 4. I'm curious if there have been any new developments in this software? I'd like to try HQ Player 4 with my system but I'm a newb to this kind of software (and digital stuff in general). I can navigate...

    "Neo-Swing" And "Neo Bop"

    Turn me onto some new versions of swing and bop. I love swing, bop, and big band music of the '40s, '50s, and '60s. But I'd like to explore some newer versions of such music. Any recommendations?

    Pass Labs INT 250

    Anyone else owned a Pass Labs INT 250 for a couple years or more and still love it? This amp just seems to grow on you and sound better and better with time. Although I'm sure at least part of the reason the system sounds so good is because of the other components. But the sound of the INT 250...

    Paradigm Athena Speakers

    A pair of Paradigm Athena speakers are being given to me by a nephew who is downsizing prior to retirement. I'll likely try these in one of my home theater systems, in place of some 12 year old SVS tower speakers. Are the Paradigms a good speaker? I've heard them but that has been 10+ years ago...

    Wes Montgomery, The NDR Hamburg Studio Recordings

    Holy Smokes!! Outstanding musicianship, beautiful recording. Wes is one of my all time favorite jazz guitarists. Wes' playing and the horns just kill on this album. Everything from blues to bop and done expertly. :congrats:
