Haven’t seen a post from him since 2016 or so and just wondering whatever happened to “the kid.” I’m sure he’s a full grown man and medical doctor now. Maybe has no time for audio hobbies and electrostatic speakers. But I’m curious if he ever checks in from time to time. Anyone heard anything...

This thread does not involve Martin Logan speakers, but I thought you guys might be interested. I am building my dream home, as it were, and part of that is building a custom home theater room. This room will be about 18.5 feet wide by 22.5 feet long and about 10 feet of ceiling height. It will...

I’m curious if anyone has owned or listened to this sound bar or other similar ones. Background: In my home I’m about to build, I’ll have a dedicated theater with a 9.4.6 JBL system. So for the remaining tv’s in the den and the kids playroom upstairs, I don’t want a complicated surround sound...

Hey guys. Been a long time since I’ve posted in the forum. Between raising a teenage daughter, getting ready to build a house, and focusing on other hobbies, I’ve been crazy busy and distracted by things other than hifi. But I recently had an interaction with an old friend that may change that...

I’m curious about this. I’ve been a member of this forum for over ten years now. When I started, it seemed like there was so much interest in and enthusiasm for this brand. And this forum was filled with discussions about the speakers, the brand, and hifi in general. Nowadays, it doesn’t seem...

Well, I’m taking my own advice and giving myself an early Christmas present. I decided to upgrade my CD transport. For years I’ve been blown away with the source combination of my PS Audio Perfect Wave Memory Transport paired with the PS Audio DirectStream DAC. Together they comprise one of the...

So I have had an annoying rattle in my system for awhile now that I couldn't pinpoint the cause. It only occurred during deep bass notes at high volume. I thought maybe it was the equipment rack, or this metal lamp I have near the speakers, or one of the diffuser panels. I couldn't figure it...

I was watching one of the Star Wars movies tonight on my home cinema system. It's an 11.3 channel system with a lot of power, hooked up to three banks of my PS Audio P10 Power Regenerator. My batteries for the Marantz pre/pro remote were going dead and it was acting a little squirrelly, but I...

I wanted to start this thread to get everyone's input on what are your favorite "reference" recordings, meaning which releases do you regularly use as a reference to determine the sound quality performance of a music system. Ideally, these would be recordings of enjoyable and interesting music...

I haven't posted a lot on the forum lately, as life intervenes. But I wanted to update you guys on what I'm up to right now. I installed my system into my media room seven years ago, and then promptly had a child and got busy raising her. As some of you know, I took a little heat on the forum...

Just curious if any of our Chicago-based members are attending the Axpona show going on this weekend? Would love to hear your impressions of any interesting new gear. I'm particularly interested in impressions of the new PS Audio Directstream DAC if you get a chance to listen to it.

Wondering if you guys can help me troubleshoot an issue with my CD player. I have a Wadia 781i (bought a few years ago from Jeff Dorgay, no less) and it has played flawlessly until recently. I usually left it on all the time, as recommended by Wadia. But I went through a period when I wasn't...

Check out this abstract for a study where they put 21 experienced violinists through DBT's with various violins, both old and new. The violinists preferred the tone of the newer instruments in general over the older ones, and preferred the Stradivarius the least! Guess professional musicians...

Ok, ever since ML came out with the smaller panels I have been a little skeptical of their claims that the smaller panels are more efficient and have greater output than the older larger panels. So, since I was a little bored today and wasn't in a mood to take pictures of my system, I decided...

Just saw this announcement about Sony 4K Cinema Media Player: http://www.slashgear.com/sony-fmp-x1-4k-media-player-coming-over-the-summer-07276787/ To quote: Seriously? How old is BluRay? Long in the tooth already? Why on earth would we need more resolution than that? I have a 10'...

I just had to post this. Too funny. Just got the new Hammacher Schlemmer Catalog, and on the cover they have . . . a horn speaker for the iPhone! (OK, technically not a speaker, just a wave amplifier) Here is the link: The Natural Acoustics iPhone Amplifier

I am starting this thread as a bit of a continuation of a political discussion that de-railed another thread. I feel strongly enough about the issues raised that I decided to start this thread (probably against my better judgment). Please engage in this thread only if you can discuss political...

Has anyone heard from Tim (MiTT) lately? Seems like the Colorado wildfires are pretty close to where he lives. Give us an update, Tim. How are you holding out?

I had a fun trip to Austin, Texas this past week, and got a chance to visit with Steve (slowGEEZR) and just had a great time. Steve took me out to the Saxon Pub one night to hear a band of locals. It was made up of very accomplished musicians. The keyboardist, in particular, was just...
