| Shipping 80lb amps. Yep I agree with the previous two posters. Ship double boxed and freight. I think it’s a bigger responsibility for both buyers and sellers to spend the extra time and money to go the full measure... to go overboard... when shipping items both expe... | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. An arrogant guy talks about arrogant audiophiles?!? I think I can't take him seriously because I just don't like arrogance. I listen to my stereo and it's fun and relaxing. | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube I see cheapaudioman as an audio reviewer for the blue collar guy, maybe the average audiophile. There are plenty of reviewers for the white collar guy (who has a bigger cash wad to spend). And of course the ridiculous reviewers who rate $20k cable... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Really cool to see all those small Hi-Fi stores, many I am sure are gone... tragically. And the great classic audio components and brands....wow I guess I am an old timer. This is when and where we got infected.... haha! | |
| First Streamer... johndyson, I have the original Rega Apollo CD player. Although it is good, the Wolfson DAC is dated now. My Node 2 and Schiit Bifrost 2 together sound a couple of notches better. In fact the internal DAC in the newest Node 2 would IMHO sound bett... | |
| First Streamer... Like some here I have the Bluesound system. I have a Node 2 in one HI FI system and a Vault in another.. I have ripped all my CD’s to the Vault. Interesting note, if one has a hard drive with music on it, like I did with CD’s ripped to Itunes, the... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives Look at Tekton. I have maggies and vandersteen and bought a pair of Double Impacts SE. Wow, big bass slam with clarity. Get the 4 ohm of whatever model will fit your space. IMO. I have not let go of my MMGs or Vandys. I think the sonic signature i... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? nyev Okay I am going to contribute and please no offense meant to your choice of words. Although I don’t own them I would really, really like to try Volti Audio Vittora speaker system. I think the Magico speakers belong on your list (just pick ... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? I don’t use the word "adore" or "love" when talking about stereo equipment. I like some pieces alot and others I don’t. Sorry those words are used for more precious and human things. | |
| Schiit Audio No problems with Schiit Bifrost, then Uber upgrade and last year another Bifrost 2 and Schiit Freya +. I think they are high volume because they make affordable HI FI gear. I have been very happy with Schiit Audio components. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them I have always looked at TAS, and Stereophile mags as pure entertainment, it is very rare that I take their opinions seriously. It's like a comic book magazine... | |
| Schiit Freya + I have owned it for about 1 year and really like it. It replaced a Parasound P3 preamp. I gave away alot of inputs but gained that nice tube sound. The Schiit Freya + is very, very good for the price. The downside of the preamp, IMO, is that... #1... | |
| Line Magnetic 805ia vs high end seperates I would not sell the LM Audio. It’s a great unit. I would keep it and get a tube preamp to try the new setup. See if you like it after awhile. I noticed that my LM Audio 216i (push/pull) got a little hot. I built a small wooden open enclosure, lik... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Guys.... very cool stories. Olson and Radio Shack. Ahhh those were the good ole days. | |
| Dual Subwoofers? rhg3 I have the same dual setup |
