    Hi Felix. I trust that you're well. Unfortunately, those speakers are putting a smile on someone else's face. Those Cambridge speakers are listed under my regret list.  :( The guy kept nagging and nagging and finally made a offer that I could not refuse, and I had to let them go. When you're...

    RIP

    That is really sad news. Loved his music. Was watching a concert of his that took place in Italy. The man was a master with that trumpet. No one can can play the way he does. Absolutely no one. R.I.P. Hugh.

    This is an interesting post. Nice to know that there are some guys older than I am. I will be 65 YOUNG in July. I started messing around with electronics while I was at school and blew up quite a few things that worked quite ok before I got my hands on it. My dad realized he made a huge mistake...

    USB was never designed for HQ audio, so why use it?

    I would like to speak for myself, and say that Amir has put forward a very convincing argument regarding that USB will be the future choice for connectivity. I agree that SPDIF is on its way out. Practically every piece of audio equipment produced today has Bluetooth, USB or Wireless...

    USB was never designed for HQ audio, so why use it?

    Wow wee!! What a one sided debate. Amir, I am sold. I will be using USB all the way from this point on. I must admit that for many years, I used all kinds of interfaces connected to my USB output, to "clean" up the sound, but there has been so much technical improvement in the past few years...

    Why does some integrated not come with tone control?

    Santos. I totally agree with you regarding Classical and Orchestral music. Was actually thinking about that while trying to sleep. lol. Yep, also the old timers who have enough money and clout don't have to bow down to whoever is sponsoring or doing the recording. So they do keep their...

    Why does some integrated not come with tone control?

    I always do my best to stay out of this debate. :D Purist. Somebody must really define that word for me, regarding recorded audio. I am probably going to get myself into real trouble, but here goes. Firstly. We all do not live in the "perfect" enviroment such as where the music was recordered...
