I wish Elliott well. At the start of the podcast, I loved his accounts of how the audio business "used to be". I miss the classic audio store. I believe that if I lived in his area, I would be in his shop all the time to seek his advice and his excellent product lineup. I also agree with Mike B...

I believe you are missing something here. The audio industry is not analogous to law or medicine. Did you have to take audio boards, or get a license from the state to practice audio sales? Consumers of material products are responsible for their due diligence, and no one is going to die from...

Getting ready to put in an order for a pair of the Art Series Auditorium with my favorite artwork. They will go in the family room. I just have to run it by my wife, and then plan on putting down the deposit...

I've always been interested in Esoteric digital. Can someone tell me the sonic signature of these pieces compared to MSB?

I appreciate Mike's reply to my questions. If deemed appropriate, I would like to hear the above questions on the episode, and get others' opinions on this also. I feel it may have different ramifications for dealers of different scale, and may address some of the root problems of what is...

Eyeing this unit. My Rockport Lynx are settling in, and I've been thinking I would enjoy a turn at physical media, given I have a large collection of CD's sitting that either need to be played or moved. My system is only streaming right now. Vinyl is inevitable in my future, but my rig is also...

I'm curious of Mike's view on this. For him, it has seemed less of a battle, and more of a functional business issue; if it doesn't work, don't use it. Do dealers need to have more independent support from manufacturers for marketing, and stop putting dealers into the crosshairs of the current...

I did pose this on the other forum. If the goal is to take down the old regime, what does the new regime look like? I empathize with dealers in all of this. It seems that dealers really need to take their manufacturers to task, and stop playing ball with these guys, as to not put their...

Somewhat related question. Why is Jay banned from WBF, and why was the recent thread by Peter locked?

That's a BFS!

Which amp was this? Thanks

That's the answer I was thinking. Horns and tubes.

Curious on thoughts of this. Thinking more of speaker driver type, enclosure, efficiency etc as if effects dynamics, soundstage, rather than a warm speaker with a built in loudness curve...

Very cool. Yes, we utilize pcr's in clinical practice frequently. Hard to imagine life without them at this point.

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...
