More potential bad news for some big names...
krelldog is correct. I live in Cuyahoga Falls OH and have bought audio from that one guy selling audio out of his house. Audiophiles are a very small group IMHO. Maybe krelldog wants to give him a plug?  
Looking for a CD Player
OP I think audiotroy just offered you a great CD player at your stated budget price???  
Help please. SVS Ultra evolution Pinnacle or Focal manta No. 2?
Congratulations on the Focal speakers. I have listened to Focal speakers on a few occasions in a HiFi showroom and found them to be very nice, very good sound. OTH I have had a SVS subwoofer many years ago. It died and SVS wouldn’t touch it. They ... 
More potential bad news for some big names...
Many countries in the world experienced economic impact from Covid-19 and the pandemic after effects that occurred. Pew research indicates 44 advanced economies experienced a rise in consumer prices. Western democracies took a bit hit (maybe unjus... 
How do pack a pair of large speakers
See Kr4 comments. That’s the proper way to do it. Otherwise you are screwing the buyer or just taking risks with shipping. Even professional proper shipping service and OEM packaging can still damage speakers at the hands of USPS, UPS FedEx or Fre... 
A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC
I have the Pontus 12th Anniversary edition and yes it is now the best sounding DAC I have. I also acquired a PS Audio Directstream Jr. which I plan to use to play DSD files. I hope to compare that sound to the Pontus in the next few weeks.  
Bose buys McIntosh
Food for thought. Some audiophiles snub their nose at McIntosh gear. Some call it the poor man’s HiFi. So for some McIntosh is the equivalent to Bose in the high fidelity world. In these cases, who is the audio snob? One who calls Bose unworthy of... 
Bose buys McIntosh
Audio Research was bought by Acora Acoustics and Musical Fidelity was bought by Audio Tuning. In both cases the new owners stated they didn’t want to interfere with what the company was doing to keep the brand original (in many ways). Bose may do ... 
Impulsive drive to buy the EverSolo dmp-A8 or should I wait ? That is the question.
I would seriously consider the New Bluesound Icon. It’s coming out in a week or two. It will have a display, dual DAC configuration and Bluesound has invested heavily in research and customer support. I have a HiFi Rose and Bluesound X (also older... 
DSD coming to Qobuz streaming?
I like DSD. I like FLAC and I like MQA. To me it’s like saying I hate apple pie and just wish every grocery store would offer my favorite pie, cherry. It’s really the best. BTW I have never tried blueberry… but really it can’t be the best. There i... 
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
What would you expect if someone came to your house and listened to your very nice sound system and they actually spent 1.5 million on a state of the art system of their own with a dedicated custom built room and that audiophile thought yours was ... 
Favorite mid-tier streamer
I agree with oddiofyl.  
Quincy Jones has passed away
Wow. Talk about a musical icon.... Quincy did it all. God Bless him and his family.  
What is your favorite budget streamer?
Thanks to everyone for some awesome recommendations. I am leaning towards increasing my budget and getting the new Bluesound Icon. I have a Node, Node2i, Vault and Node X and have been really happy with the GUI and the customer service. I usually ... 
Power cord
I like Cullen Cables a lot. They are not expensive.
