Much obliged, Bones!

What a listen! I've been digesting it in pieces, but my goal is to get comfortable and listen to it from start to finish in one sitting when time permits. Again, Thank You!

A belated thanks for all of the information. It's been a rough patch financially for me due to some medical issues lately, so buying the CD's is not an option at this time. (Too bad, because the prices that he asks for his CD's are more than reasonable.) Another inconvenience: I have my...

Yes, I had seen that piece a while back. The minuet seems like a must-audition when the finances allow for it.

Just watched it. It's nice for us on the consumer side to get a taste of what people in the industry are thinking. Adam's comment that he thinks most of his customers are music lovers first, as opposed to audiophiles, is encouraging. I believe I heard the overarching goal of providing...

That looks like a simple system that I bet sounds marvelous! I'm guessing that if I heard it, I would want to go back down the vinyl rabbit hole. For that reason (and lack of funds), I'm glad I live so far from Minneapolis! Hearing your speakers at some point is on my bucket list for sure. I...

Fantastic article. I've never understood the apparent anger, envy and jealousy directed at both someone who would dare charge what they do for a product and someone who is willing to pay that price, especially when it is born of complete ignorance of what went in to bringing that product to...

Fair enough. Maybe we're both kind of right. Measurements have something to do with how something sounds, but certainly not everything. In my experience, ASR's measurements have very little correlation with how products that I have listened to sound. Proper measurements says it all. I've...

One of the real giants. Condolences to his family, friends and musical collaborators.

I find the "Ignore" button most helpful. Hard to get dragged into a pissing match with an enemy that you can't see...

Very interested. In addition to the vintage receiver's nice looks, the inclusion of both AM and FM made it easy to listen to music as well as the ball games and news radio. I loved all of the controls - tone, balance and so forth. And yes, even the "loudness" control. But... unlike the...

Very true. JA is the gold standard when it comes to both measuring and listening when doing a review, as far as I am aware.

Audio Science Review.

9 seconds average time per visit on this site and 198 on ASR could be seen as an indicator that something is a little off in the current state of high-end audio. The more I look at ASR, the more impressed I am with all of the measurements that they throw up and how the info is presented. It...

That's so true. I often find myself listening to random cuts that follow what I was playing on Qobuz on the desktop, and there is more often than I would like little to no relationship between how good I think something sounds and the sample and bit rates that are displayed. Yes, it does...
