| Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum Personally I think the Hegal and Yamaha suggestions are really safe bets. | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Well said Mapman. Couldn't agree more.Though I am in reasonably good heath for my age I'm also reasonably fat. Gotta do a little less listening and a little more running. | |
| Tube Amplifiers: Carver Crimson 75 wpc or Primaluna Monoblocks I cant give you much of any recommendation but oh boy can I relate to your comment. I recently moved to a new house and I don’t trust the movers to move my stereo stuff. I should have let the movers move my stereo stuff. I’m way older and way fatt... | |
| Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile? dadork, "who cares?"I'm pretty sure the op does, hence the question. | |
| Does Age Matter? 51 and 100% digital. In fact 100% streaming tidal for the last two years. I really like the guy’s comment who said he was 50 but preferred 25. I get it buddy. | |
| Anybody added a full vinyl setup to system? And? While I listened to a lot of music as a kid I didn’t start buying music till I started high school in the mid 80’s. Yes, as a tiny tot I listened and played records on my sisters’ record players (notice I didn’t say turntables) but the bulk of my ... | |

| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" I have found people who prefer digital say digital is better. Those that prefer vinyl say just the opposite. That settles that. | |
| What piece(s) of gear did you sell/give away that you would like to have back? JM lab Mini Utopias. I’m not sure why I got rid of them in the first place. Just the hope for more better I guess. But what is funny is thinking about the old great stuff I had in the beginning only to be disappointed when hearing it again. That’s... | |
| How old are you? I just celebrated the 30th anniversary of my 21st birthday. | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? Martin Logan’s in the late 80’s at a local stereo shop. Can’t remember which ones but that kind of blew me away. Oddly enough over the last thirty years I’ve only owned one pair of ML’s for maybe a year or so. But that first impression early in my... | |
| Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system? “Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system?“Absolutely! Until they’re not. | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night My goodness that’s sad. Not to sound too selfish but we’ve lost a great member and a great resource of information. A gentleman. I wish his family well. | |
| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? I would have said the GoldenEar Triton 1. I listened to them at my local dealer and it sounded like something was broken. After that experience I was convinced GE was terrible. Two months later I went to Axpona and the Triton 1’s were teamed up wi... | |
| FREE ! DCM Time Frame TF 500 Speakers Very nice offer nitrobob! If I were a little closer I would take you up on that. My very first pair of speakers I bought right out of high school in the late 80’s were DCM Time Frame 250’s, the baby brother of the ones you are offering. Up to that... |
