Does Analog EQ belong in State of the Art Systems?
Really? Then tape and vinyl are not SOTA because you have to use additive/subtractive EQ for playback- Bruce B

It Finally Happened: Not One, but TWO Heart Attacks
Wow.... that was a story! Glad you're on the mend. I don't have to say, the older we get, the more attention we have to pay to our bodies. Your body will tell you when something is wrong.- Bruce B

Archiving vinyl/tape
The easiest software that is out there is called Reaper. There is another called Audacity. It used to be free and there is a lot of on-line support if you need it. I know at one time, Andreas Koch had recording software that you could use with his A/D converters that would record in DSD. As...- Bruce B

Can digital get to vinyl sound and at what price?
I've done many of these graphs when I had 6-8 A/D converters doing tape transfers for David Wilson and HDtracks. There are many variables to take into consideration but you try so hard to keep those variables to a minimum. I was using software by Algorithmix and Cedar and doing all my...- Bruce B

New Magnepan 1.7i speakers
Just noticed lately on the Magnepan website, there are a lot fewer options for trim colors. I really loved a Blue set of 30.7 speakers I saw some time ago, but they don't offer it. Looks like the 1.7i that I have does not come in the cool Red Aluminum trim any more.- Bruce B

Does Analog EQ belong in State of the Art Systems?
I would say if you are using subs with large mains, I would highly encourage you to look into the JL Audio CR-1 x-over. Completely analog with great build quality!- Bruce B

Does Analog EQ belong in State of the Art Systems?
Any Mastering engineer worth their metal uses an analog EQ... sometimes several! Using a tape machine... you're running through an analog EQ for NAB/IES/AES.... same for TT using RIAA.. As someone above said..... Fix Your Room..!!- Bruce B

Ron's Favorite Private Rooms + Systems of All Time
The only custom room that I've heard and liked, was Winston Ma's. Most of the good sounding rooms that I have been in are just normal (symmetrical) rooms with acoustical treatment.- Bruce B

ADC recommendation?
I don't subscribe to Tidal, but I'm sure many are. -
ADC recommendation?
Pyramix with Hapi/Horus is a steep learning curve. I've used it since '05 and have had no issues. The community is a great resource if you get into a bind. So far, it's been rock solid. -

He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable
Not including your spouse/family/SO or wanting to learn more about their passions are missed opportunity in life. I really feel for the folks that live separate lives. Time can not be purchased with any amount of $$. I've been spoiled (and blessed) with a spouse that purchased and actually loves...- Bruce B
