I was about to post: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/axpona-acquired-by-sound-fury-llc/ I wonder why your post didn't show when I checked "What's New" at the top of the page? I did run across it when I was looking for the show forum. I didn't even realize a show could be sold. I...

LOL, you must be too young to know what "Walkman" originally was. Someone mentioned above they may have made one that takes music files, I'm not familiar with that one. If your music files are on your computer you should be able to drag and dropg. Your computer should recognize the Walkman...

Coincidentally I saw the folks behind Siltech and Crystal Cable has put out a new audio line called Sphinx Audio and guess what, a speaker. Not sure if electronics under the label the ad talked about the new speaker.

I'm not a good judge on looks, on paper it looks like it could be stunning. Wilson typically is not to my taste. I've heard it sound good with Doshi, whichusually sounds good anyway, I also heard them with Audio Research that was good. I get what you are saying though.

Magico is a fine product but they are one who have certainly taken up the price. The A3 & 5 has gone up $10k since they hit the market.

Have you noticed in 2026 that it appears an unusual amount of new speakers are being introduced? Even Audio by Van Alstine now has a speaker, all the years I've been familiar they've never gone that direction. There are others I don't want to make a case I want to see if anyone else has noticed.

When I used to work in the business decades ago I noticed that home theater receivers had bettter specs on paper than McIntosh, I certainly knew to my ears I'd rather listen to McIntosh. I never paid much attention to specs anymore except for basic power ratings and such. We had a brand than...

what do you mean by "Walkman"? Walkman used to be portable CDP or cassette which were obsolete by the iPod and similar devices. Maybe not the best way when I had a mp3 player I used Windows Media Player. Actually I still have a Sansa Clip that still works, must be 20 years old or so...

I just love pizza. St. Louis has their style as well. The crust is very thin and crispy. If you visit Imo's made it famous. What makes St. Louis–style pizza unique Thin, cracker-like crust (no yeast) Cut into squares (“party cut”) Topped with Provel cheese (a processed blend of provolone...

The most over used and misunderstood buzz word is now "bit perfect". He spends time explaining there's no data loss due to protocols. I can agree with that. Technically the stream may be bit perfect but there is still noise. He basically denies jitter, I forget how he dismisses it, I don't...

Never could get used to armadillo on my pizza ;)

This was only the second year for car audio. Streaming and headphones have been shown for many years. I'm not sure myself on whether younger crowds have been showing up. I've seen comments from both consumers and some reviewers who are happy about seeing more affordable brands being shown. I...

I'm sure Bryston makes a decent streamer, I've never heard one, however, it is built around Raspberry Pie. I suspect Aurender and Lumin have taken the issue to a higher level.

Roon doesn't deteriorate anything. Some listeners report to their ears using Roon and the native app on the same unit the native app sounds better. I'm sure this is subjective and would depend on the competing apps/software. One of my friends uses Roon, he has a mega system, he just prefers...

I think you misunderstood what I said and need to read the thread for context.
