| Lumin d3 vs hifi rose 130 chee707 Did you get the RS130 and how do you like it? I have one and didn’t care for the OS therefore I use ROON OS with it. Sound is very good though. I luv the screen display as well. | |
| Chinese DAC's Unless I am mistaken and if anyone can shred some light that would be great but a very large (huge) number of electronic parts (transistors, capacitors, circuit boards, etc.) are made in China. These get put into electronics of all kinds (televisi... | |
| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Facing speakers almost straight ahead does turn down higher frequencies and especially if the speakers are not far apart from each other. No toe in toward the main listener position. | |
| Which amplifier Tough Choice. Two really great amps. I think both would drive those speakers with ease. I think I’d pick the Mac. Luxman is a solid choice as well. The build quality on the Luxman and Accuphase would be slightly better as Japan tends to do this ex... | |
| HiFi Rose 250A issues with app & setting up The factory reset is a good suggestion from mswale. It’s been my experience that hardwired Ethernet cables are the way to go not Wi-Fi…if possible. I will run a very long Ethernet cable and router before I ever use Wi-Fi. I too have a HiFi Rose, b... | |
| Anyone interested in an audio get together in Northest Ohio? Let’s hope our experience in Northeast Ohio can spark other audio get togethers in other areas- anywhere audiophiles can talk and enjoy music together. There is so much to share and learn from each other, even if it’s just sharing artists and song... | |
| Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep NM is a good example of an artist that regularly has well recorded and produced work. That is often overlooked in the audiophile community, “the quality of the recording makes a huge impact of the overall quality of sound”. That has been my experi... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I am not sure how one ties “envy” to the conversation of buying a $50k DAC? In my comment I stated (not knocking others here) with regard to my desire to spend a ceiling amount on audio equipment. There could be 1,000 reasons why someone would not... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I could not pay over $2500 for any DAC. I begin to question my own sanity and how ridiculous the cost of my audio system is at that budget. In many ways (not knocking others here) I find the significance of my stereo is not that great compared to ... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? For audiophiles here the costs, tariffs, fees for parts in our audio gear is going to go up, way up. Some of us, who have the means can absorb the extra cost, many cannot. In many cases it will drive up the cost of used gear, but that will still b... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? markalarsen- Congratulations! (In the infamous words of the Chinese hand surgeon Sung Shin who put two pins in my hand after I hit a fellow soldier of mine in the jaw long, long ago)… “you have no self control “. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? This discussion is interesting and IMO revealing in some ways. Why? Well the question has been posed many times here in various ways, “Are you an audio gear collector or do you get the equipment to enjoy the music? I would say that it’s a fair que... | |
| New buy, no return policy One thing is for sure, I would walk away from that dealer. TMR is a toss up, but a much better option IMO. I guess I would ask more questions from TMR about the condition of the speakers and if the bottom of the speakers are damaged where the spik... | |
| Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep NM is eclectic and an acquired taste for many. I enjoy everything she does IMO she is a gem and a tremendous singer/songwriter. | |
| Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp) Some nice recommendations here already. I had been in your shoes late last year. Wanted to get back into record albums after about 40 years. The first consideration was belt drive or direct drive. These two are different camps. I went with VPI Pri... |
