| Why would 2 schiit aegir amps sound the same as 1? @varchardYou are apparently buying into the idea that more watts are better. That is not the case unless you have a hard to drive inefficient speaker. My speakers are 93.5 db efficient. The best move I made was replacing a CJ 250wpc amp with a 35w... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for... With that arm you should be able to use anything. Can't say I've tried them all. But I have a Zyx 4D which replaced a Benz Ebony L which was also a good cartridge. The Zyx is better, but I lived happily with the Benz while I had it. I have an Ori... | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. @artizen65 Getting abused as usual. Yep. That's why I post here more often now. I actually left here 1st time because AA had a better sense of community at the time. That was 15-18 yrs ago. Now everyone on most every BB is a self appointed cr... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. @mrbobmBut a well designed streaming system does something that neither LP’s or CD’s can do alone. Namely it allows me to quickly and easily enjoy the music on many other levels. I can for example:1) read notes on the album2) read a biography of t... | |
| Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart @big_gregI assume that the quality of the coax cable running from my cdp to the Teac streamers Dac is important? Is that correct? It will be interesting to see IF the Teac DAC is better than the Theta Miles DAC. Looking at the Pangea XL & the... | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. Welcome back. I've been here since 2000 but went over to the asylum for a long time. | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. @glupson People outside of this very small group of "audiophiles" cannot care less for analog sound. Yep. Yer right. Most listen to mp3's and have no clue about bitrate or codecs, etc. Cheap & convenient is what they want. Digital does fulfi... | |
| Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart @big_gregWill do. I may be asking advice when I get it setup and gain understanding of its functions. It seems to get very good reviews, Seems that the biggest challenge is in finding the software that's easiest for the end user to understand. | |
| Newbie question C’mon guys. It’s a "newbie question. Cut him some slack. There was some good entertainment in the remarks though, it’s only funny to the initiated.@roycerichardsThere is some good info. IMO, buying vintage is only for those with the technical skil... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. @millercarbon Joke all you want, you know it's true, the standard is analog. Digital is for when you just don't care that much that it sucks. I think you ruffled feathers with that one. Funny thing is that nearly every review I read on DACS... | |
| Wood racks and humidity @jab Before using any wood product, let the wood stand in the intended room for days before using This is the rule for wooden flooring, paneling, etc, that will be joined together on site. This is to acclimate the wood which has generally been ... | |
| Wood racks and humidity I am a carpenter/woodworker w/ 45-50 yrs experience. MC has given good info. However, the shrinkage is calculated for RAW wood. Sealing the wood is necessary. IMO, its NOT an option. It seals the wood against shrinkage. Does that mean there will b... | |
| Is it time to upgrade my amp? The Raven has a 45 day trial period. I agree with their philosophy. I've had amps from 35wpc to 350wpc. Without a doubt, the best sounding were the low wattage. One was 35, one 45 & now a 65. I looked at the Blackhawk but I really didn't need... | |
| Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart Thanks for the heads up. Looked at it Fri night but couldn't decide. (it wasn't on my short list) then they sold them all. Apparently they found one more & I Just ordered the last one today. Started to go for the open box on Epay but didn't ma... | |
