| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) I want to bring this post back. It has been one of my favorite reads and most audiophiles have not heard about this incredible power cable. | |
| New or Old CD Player? Get an old one. Oppo was making some decent disc spinners but they are getting out of that business. It might be a sign of things to come. If it were me, I would look for an older Sony ES model, Esoteric, or even a PS Audio. You might find a new o... | |
| Ideas for my next DAC....? Nice suggestions. Keep in mind, for those of you mentioning Oppo, they are getting out of the audio business. Check out some of the other posts here. I am NOT knocking the brand, just that getting parts later (in a few years) will be hard... | |
| First time tube integrated buy I second helomech on the Line Magnetic Audio suggestion. I have the 216ia and it sounds stellar. This is one of the better Chinese companies that builds many products from the older Western Electric design....of older days. | |
| Vandersteen 2ci and 2ce I have the 2CE Sig II. You will have to let us know how well you like it down the road. I listened to Klipsch, Polk, Kef, Magnepan, B&W, and many others but settled on the Vandersteen because it sounds right for Jazz, Acoustical music and voca... | |

| How much is MQA conversion? I am not worried about MQA, or technological progress being altered or anyone losing anything in terms of music quality. I did worry or at least wonder around the years after 2000 how record companies and recording artists would continue to make m... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps I have a Line Magnetic integrated amp that is made in China. I also borrowed a SET amp from the same company that really got hot. I think this is a good company, but I would be very concerned about the safety of much cheaper budget amps. There are... | |
| Just confused about where to start Well if you have an itch to get an audio system quickly... go for it. I helped my neighbor install a Sonos system from Best Buy to meet his needs and he really enjoys it. I think you could do better but your ears are the ones that must be satisfie... | |
| Just confused about where to start Another idea...Magnepan MMG speakersPeachtree Audio 150 integrated ampCombined around $2200.That would make a good combo. I have these speakers and have heard great things about the amp.My 2cents | |
| Just confused about where to start Don’t rule out active speakers (amplified). That might be a good choice for a smaller room and using a computer as a source. | |
| Norah Jones - Tidal vs. Hi Res ? BTW what is properganda? | |
| Streamer vs computer? The debate over MQA is a big can of worms. Some think it sounds great for what it was intended for....a streaming option. Some think you lose bits and it does not sound good. Still others think it was invented by Darth Vader and will kill all musi... | |
| 2 Channel audio room chair ideas I just got 2 Leather Poang chairs from Ikea. I used to have 2 leather reclining chairs but sold them because the Poang was better for listening, more comfortable and overall much cheaper. |
