| engineering mistakes on recordings @stevecham I think Husker Du's production got progressively better once they left SST...but then you have people that don't like Warehouse or Candy Apple Grey cause they thought it was over produced...I would toss MBV in there as well as wasted pr... | |

| Do female audiophiles exist Regarding your last question, I've read message boards where audiophiles tout the recording quality over the music. I I think you have both, those that value music over recording quality and vice versa.. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? @siddh increased attendance is great but are the delegates actually purchasing? That's the real question. | |
| Manley Chinook Gdnrbob, again, are we talking about an upgrade or are we talking about making it right due to a lemon? I have no clue but giving the OP benefit of the doubt, my comment about the customer paying for shipping only applies if and only if he bought ... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? @infection ...hilarious.. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I would be interested to hear from any producers and or retailers of audio equipment that may have already posted or are watching this thread. I’m curious as to how much walk-in (if you have a storefront) vs. online sales (ratio only) as well as i... | |
| Manley Chinook @mattmiller how is $80 shipping paid for by the purchaser a ’steal’ if indeed he bought defective gear?you said you would have paid 3 times that for what they do to the Chinook? You mean make it work as it should’ve from the jump? | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Many have referenced the middle class and diminished discretionary spend. Was the middle class ever buying $1k cables, $5k preamps, $10k speakers? I'm not sure. These components and speakers are nice to haves, not need to haves. I see a lot of men... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Small sample size thus far but I’d venture to say you guys have "been there, done that."I have two friends with good systems but they do not feel the need to continuously tweak/upgrade, or they may want to but spend discretionary income elsewhere.... | |
| Pls share your experience with Zu Soul or Zu in general I have second hand Zu Soul MKII's in my set-up. I've been using them for about 3 years. I really enjoy them but they can be challenging to tame. Room placement (how far to set from wall, toe-in, etc.) plays a role. I visited Zu in Ogden when I was... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist My wife enjoys our music room when a variety of music is playing..I've learned not to tweak while she's in the room...nothing sexy about high-fiving over finding the right azimuth or listening to the same song 10-15 times while adjusting vta/vtf... | |
| Critical listening or a reason to keep tinkering? I agree with what @geoffkait says...go and find some other systems to create a contrast to your current rig. It could help to ease the "paranoia" :) I’ve heard some setups that I thought were great..after several upgrades of my own, I go back and ... | |
| Upgrading the "original " Rogue Sphinx integrated amp to the new version 2 (v-2)?? Speaking with Rogue direct, the phono preamp in the Cronus Magnum (KT120) which I am currently as an amp/linestage is on par with external phono preamps that cost $300-$400. I am not sure of preamp used in the Sphinx. If you are looking for an upg... | |
| Upgrading the "original " Rogue Sphinx integrated amp to the new version 2 (v-2)?? @yogiboy @sunnyjim stumbled upon this thread...I have bought several items from HiFi Heaven. They are top notch for sure. I typically work with Jim. Never had a negative or even average experience. All have been great. Just my two cents. |
