The natural order of things is to start low and aim high. Buy a low-cost product; get acquainted with it, even as you scan the horizon checking out options; become dissatisfied; then pull the trigger. That's what we do: the avid audiophile never stays put very long. Sure, you can jump-start the journey by handing... Read More »

Marshall Nack — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 20:21:22 +0000

When something is not as advertised, I have no problem calling it out. So it was when music streaming came along.

Audio Ramblings and the SOtM sNH-10G Switch

Dave Clark — Sun, 01 Sep 2019 18:24:04 +0000
