| Recommendation on power amp I can add something of value perhaps to the discussion. I think audiotroy mentioned he does not carry JL Audio subwoofers and now carries SVS.I cannot find fault with his statement but...Quite a few years back, before SVS became a bigger company, ... | |
| Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage? Hey mental,The Bryston is really good stuff. Keep in mind, the Bluesound is budget gear that sounds good. Any Bryston streamer or Bryston DAC might sound better, since one is paying more.The NAD Master series takes the Bluesound up a notch...at a ... | |
| Can someone tell me why Tidal MQA shows as 96Khz when using a non-MQA DAC? What tomcy6 and uberwaltz said!! | |
| Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage? All good and helpful comments. As indicated by some fellow goners here, streaming should be able to co-exist with other tried and true music playback avenues (both analog and digital-to-analog). I have always been a fan of cassette tape, reel-to-r... | |
| Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing? artemus_5I had hearing loss during my time with Air Defense Artillery (Hawk missles) and Field Artillery (Howitzer) units with US Army and Army Reserves. Lucky for me after I retired I was able to get a partial disability and the VA pays for my he... | |
| Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing? Would anyone work on the engine and transmission of a high performance automobile like a Ferrari if all four of the tires were almost flat? I think of correcting a hearing loss much the way I see the inflation of tires on a high performance race c... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice The only music streaming apps I have used on a Samsung Smartv was Pandora and Spotify. I have never passed that digital signal via an optical out on my TV to a DAC. Someone else may have to add this info to the discussion although I don’t think an... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice There is talk of entry level products with regard to DAC components. My experience has been that since the DAC chip itself and implementation of the design and layout is changing so fast in the audio world, what had been a top level component 6 ye... | |
| Opinions on Parasound A21 & A21+ I have been using the A21 for about 6 years. The best sounding amp I have had, but have never paid over $2.5k for any amp. Funny, I had the Odyssey amps and the A21 is much better, not to mention the Stratos failed on me....twice. John Curl design... | |
| Integrated recommendation with Vandersteen 2C Was there a point to this thread? | |
| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? Please don’t take offense to this comment, it is meant to help many fellow audiophiles. With so many great audio companies out there (including speaker companies) why would anyone take the risk with their money on a company with a growing bad repu... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Sbank- “Haven’t seen a similar thread where a category has so many enthusiast responses for so many brands. Is that telling us something about tube amps?”Having heard SS amps, class d amps, class A and AB amps and some other hybrid ones, I prefer ... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? I agree with Atmasphere. PTP wiring is really the best design for vacuum tube amps. I have a Line Magnetic integrated amp and my dealer told me the company designed the amps based on the old Western Electic blueprints from USA designs. So far, com... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Interestingly, I have had more problems with US made equipment. Not so much with gear made elsewhere in other countries. In fact I had US made audio made by a German guy that was dreadful and poor parts. But my Chinese made gear was made great and... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Shindo (velvet sound, low power speakers, expensive) BAT (expensive and gobs of power) Line Magnetic Audio (great budget) Border Patrol (low power speakers, horns) and Decware (great reputation) and ARC (quality and name recognition) |
