    95% of all electric cars are still on the road.... The other 5% made it home! :)

    This climate problem is bigger than cars and much harder to solve

    I sincerely hope you're wrong. Perhaps the unleashing of the Covid virus might just be a "thinning out of the heard" by a so called Globalist group.

    Athens, Greece

    I will be traveling with my family. Personally, I'm interested in picturesque sea side towns, historical ruins (other than the Acropolis) and local wineries. My wife, daughter and Mom definitely would love to visit galleries and of course shopping!

    Looking forward to our Regent Seven Seas cruise to Croatia, Montenegro, Turkey and the Greek Islands this coming summer. The cruise ends in Athens. I'm extending our trip to spend 2 extra days in Athens. Other than visiting the Acropolis what nearby sites and interesting towns are...

    Sigma V2 Speaker Cables

    I’m currently using Sigma V1 SC with Siltech interconnects. Would upgrading to Sigma V2 SC without a Full loom Shunyata interconnects still be a worthwhile upgrade?

    IsoAcoustics Gaia with W/P?

    I'm using The largest sized Gaias with Wilson Sasha Version 1. If over carpet make sure you use the carpet spikes. Also depending on your model W/P make sure you order the proper screw inserts. I thought they made a small difference for the better over stock paws. Good luck.

    Any Esoteric fans here?

    Addicted ti HiFi, The Luxman sure looks like a wonderful player. Happy for you. The Esoteric K-03XD has only about 100 hours on it and sounding glorious. Regardless of the input. The build quality is amazing.

    Any Esoteric fans here?

    Thanks RJ. I did take delivery of the K-03xd about 1 week ago. Was breaking in wonderfully. Sounded really good right out of the box. It is built LIKE A TANK! Love that drawer mechanism. HOWEVER, as luck would have it one of my mono block amplifiers went down. $HIT!!!!! So my...

    Any Esoteric fans here?

    Marty, I was so excited to hear someone other than myself is enjoying their Parasound JC1+ amps. I replaced my Levinson 33H amps that I've owned forever. Repair and shipping costs pushed me to trade them in. The Parasound JC1+ amps complemented my system. I also use them with...

    Any Esoteric fans here?

    Thanks GSOphile! Hoping that the K-03 XD sounds close to it's bigger brother. Did your player require a lengthy break-in? Happy Listening.

    Any Esoteric fans here?

    I have the upgrade bug! Just wanted to pick all the fine minds here before I pull the trigger. I've owned a Playback Designs mps-5 player with usb-x for a number of years. Aside from needing some repair issues it's been a great addition. PD is a wonderful company that really is second to...

    Wonderful Brazilian Music

    Wishing all a blessed and safe Holiday season! Just had to share a recording that I thought sounded fantastic. "Todo O Sentimento" with Elizeth Cardoso & Raphael Rabello. Although downloaded from iTunes (44.1kHz) the performance and sound quality are wonderful.

    Just finished listening to 2CD set of Stanley Turrentine "Up At Minton's". Wonderful performance and great sonics even though it was recorded live in 1961!!! Really captures the venue as well. Just close your eyes and your transported back! Stanley Turrentine on sax, Grant Green on...

    Ozark

    My wife and I enjoyed Ozark. A little far fetched but thoroughly entertaining. The actress Julia Garner (Ruth) also has a supporting role in "Dirty John" on Netflix which we found interesting and definitely worth a watch.

    I figured there was a synergy with the Extreme. If your anything like me I assuming you have quite a collection of SACD discs. Are you somehow ripping the SACD layer of these discs onto the Extreme? If so what would be the optimal method of doing so? All...
