| $10 Dollar DAC Sounds Perfect? I guess this is kinda click bait. The DAC is not in a box with connections? Don’t know where the support would come from should it burn up overnight. Does anyone buy anything just for two considerations? Price and performance. That would be dumb. ... | |
| How hot is too hot? I don’t think it’s strange. Amplifiers don’t just supply power to any speaker you connect to it. Each type of speakers demands a particular load of current. Obviously this has much to do with the music or musical passage. If you think of an action... | |
| Help me choose a phono pre I picked up a Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2. They now make the DS3. It’s very versatile and sounds great to me. There are a great many choices but it has already been mentioned it’s best to match your TT and cartridge to the appropriate phono pre that wil... | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? Many historically early electronics included USB because it was cheap. Unfortunately many audiophiles got hooked and believe mistakingly that it is a good way to connect a DAC. It is not. I2S came along in quality devices and before that HDMI. Bo... | |
| Integrated Amp Curiosity I have the older Musical Fidelity M6i500 (which is the older version of the M6si500. It’s a beast and I would not part with it. I am a huge fan of both integrated amps and the brand Musical Fidelity (now owned by Audio Tuning). The Nu Vista amps a... | |
| Lumin d3 vs hifi rose 130 Congratulations. I think the HiFi Rose is a stellar piece of gear. | |
| How hot is too hot? AC Infinity You could try a version of this, I use one with each of my tube amps. They are very quiet and work very well to draw hot air away from the amp. AC Infinity makes many different kinds of fans to help keep electronics cool, perform their... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget There are so many speakers that would fit your budget it’s hard for many here to advise you. I have the Tekton Double Impact SE and with grills on they look like about 90% of all the tall floor standers out there. I also have Vandersteen speakers,... | |
| 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... |
