| Prospectives on Chi-Fi 1 I don’t know who lordmelton is ...but he sounds idiotic. 2 I have a Line Magnetic Audio Integrated amp and a Denafrips DAC, both have performed flawlessly and the LM was serviced with zero issues under warranty. 3 The US cut dirty deals with C... | |
| The MQA debate is finally over The MQA debate??? Either one chooses to use it or not. It's not complicated. | |
| Help with hiss Sorry to say this. I hope it's not your problem but I had a very, very similar experience that campoly had. I had a Stratos and Tempest, then later a Candela. After having very low level buzz, static and noise from the amp and preamps I sent them ... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. The best part about MQA bankruptcy is that maybe people who don't like it or don't use it will stop bashing it. Or maybe they will keeping bitching about it for the next 20 years. Probably the latter... | |
| Tidal class-action I didn't know that Tidal and MQA files were mandatory for everyone to listen. I thought it was a service that us audiophiles and other like minded audio aficionados decided to sign up and pay for..... of our own free will. I didn't know millions o... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Decades ago when CD sales took over albums and vinyl sales went down and down, as CD players and CD sales went up and up. Digital got better and haters of albums and turntables were saying you were a fool to keep albums. Manufacturers of quality t... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. When these types of services go down, we all lose. Less options for everyone. Whether you like MQA or not, it's bad for hi-fi listeners. We have seen an age with ipods, downloaded music, albums, CD, music streaming and much more. Whatever it is,... | |

| Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions I have had both Parsound and Musical Fidelity brands. I have the A21 amp and the M6 500i (MF integrated). I like both brands. I think the MF has a dual mono amp and that would be an enormous advantage in sound. If I were shopping, the MF would be ... | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? I have heard both, although briefly..and not on the same day. The Parasound is very good indeed but not as refined as the Pass amp. Parasound is a little bright or shrill on the top end compared to the Pass. IMO. | |
| My thoughts on the HiFi Rose 150B I tried the Rose device and I thought the GUI was not intuitive, It would connect wireless but not wired. Even with wireless it would drop out. It was replacing a Node 2 system and with Bluesound I had found the customer support was fabulous. I s... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often This is a bit ridiculous and I assume clic bait. Get what you like and enjoy the music. It does not have to be complicated. Hard to drive speakers require more power, more current. There are high quality amps that can do this??? | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… Push/Pull (I don't like really hot amps) Don't spend too much on a tube amp. Some chinese companies (not all) are making excellent tube amps with warranty/ repair centers in USA Include the cost of the better NOS tubes you will want to roll in ... | |

| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? I have had one SVS subwoofer long ago and didn’t have a good experience with the company. The unit needed service and they really didn’t want to do it. They wanted me to buy another subwoofer from them. Years later a local store in Ohio was sellin... |
