Hi, Agree on the Stenheim rooms. Two years ago the large room was superb. This time, the large room was not impressive, and the smaller room with Dartzeel electronics didn't sound good at all, IMHO. Agree the Boulder/Wilson room sounded good. The main Acora room sounded pretty good to me in...

Missed these rooms. Would have liked to heard your room with the Accuphase set up. The main Accuphase room was hamstrung by the Gauder speakers.

I'm headed there. BTW, Jack White is playing at the Salt Shed Thursday and Friday pm. I have tix for Friday.

Hi end audio is a luxury market. The luxury market is correcting. (WSJ Article, not sure if all can view, but quite appropriate to consumer backlash to luxury market pricing) Luxury brands have been too aggressive in pricing

Boulder. @mxk116 , Where on the Front Range? Cool system...

Cinnabun the rabbit seems mesmerized by the new Crosby Stills Nash Young 2024 Mix "Live at Fillmore East 1969". Have to say, I am too...

Hi; I seem to get some surges that affect my Grimm Mu1 and Mola Mola Tambaqui, frequently causing the Grimm to reset, and occasionally causing the MMT to freeze. I have a Nordost Qbase which really doesn’t offer protection. What are other folks using as solutions? Thanks Sent from my iPhone...

Fritz could have used some astronomy to accompany his audiophilia. I always think of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot when thinking of the importance of family, conflict with those close to us, our priorities/agendas, and our short existence in the universe. Look again at that dot. That's here...

I spend more time in my office than my listening room. Having good sound during work is a blessing. I have an old pair of Spendor Prelude 2/2's that I bought second handed many years ago. Had a Peachtree, but upgraded to an NAD M10. Fantastic piece, and I love its sound, presence, and display on...

I enjoy watching some of Steve Guttenberg's videos. He comes across with a positivity and passion for both gear and music that is very engaging. His channel covers more main stream equipment than is the currency of higher-end focused sharks on this forum. I recently watched his video on the...

(Little Drummer Boy and Punk Rock Jingle Bells are particularly horrifying)

Thinking about picking up a used Soulution 725. Curious if the concept of capacitor fatigue is a real issue? Anyone actually audibly observe this phenomenon? Do companies Recap older pieces? Or have a way to test for need for this?

Now we are talking high end! Looking for Christmas gift for my 10 year old daughter. She has Sonos/Roon in her room, but I decided to buy her a beginner turntable and a few Taylor Swift albums. I've been strictly digital for some time. No dedicated listening room, and I'm going to wait until...

Recently been in the market for either a pre or perhaps a new "Super integrated". Researching all of these companies, CH Precision, Soulution, Constellation, Dartzeel, Vitus, Audionet, Gryphon, Pilium, Rowland, Ypsilon, Ayre, D'Agostino, Aries Cerat....the list goes on. Amazing products, but...
