| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( I have 17 year old teen-age twins--both spin records. One owns 3 crates of records, the other owns 4 crates. Importantly, they were each gifted their first crate by a great friend of mine who used to be a college radio DJ. Steve is the man! In Dal... | |
| Does anybody not like Roon...based on SQ only? I have DX 3. Had the DX. Tried the other options loaded on the DX. Roon beats them IMO. I also use Roon to run a Bryston BDP-3 in different whole house audio system. The Roon/Antipodes has been seamless. The Roon/Bryston is not without issues. | |
| Talk but not walk? I agree with @prof's post above regarding the tone of the OP post. I also like prof's rationale. Thanks prof, I don't agree with everything in it, but I don't have to in order to appreciate it. Empirical evidence, defined as "observation/experienc... | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers @soix Regarding the AXPONA 2018 JA/Rowland setup: Yes, typical and the Pearl 3 were very, very good IMO. Disclaimer, I'm a JA owner and I really like the sound profile. My first time hearing the Pearl 3s though. Very impressed. | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? Rowland Class D amps and Rowland Preamp--I leave them on all the time except during lightning storms. | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers @soix At Axpona 2018 the JA Pearl 3s were paired with the Rowland Daemon Integrated Amp, Cardas Clear Beyond XL PCs and Cardas Clear cabling, with the source being a Mara Reel to Reel running through a Doshi preamp. There were many systems that so... | |
| What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers? +4 NAD/PSB setup. If you can get a used NAD375BEE with used PSB Imagine T speakers (that might cost a wee bit more than $1500 but not much more), your daughter will be in high cotton. Floor standers that match well with the 375. My sons use this s... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Dire Straits S/T RBCD | |
| Lone Star Audio Fest is this weekend in Dallas! Free admission. I'm probably dropping in on Saturday. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Rosanne Cash--"The Wheel" and "Rules of Travel"--I've decided this is one of those rare artists that makes almost every song she sings worth listening to...and the recording quality is consistently high. | |
| Latest Oppo"s selling for twice retail +2 roxy54...I own one. | |
| AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? I think there can be a direct relationship between price and SQ, although it is neither absolute nor linear. Synergistic factors seem to exist and appear to be more important than the total spent. After reading many, many Agon posts I note that th... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @grm Thanks for posting your results. The test isn't lame. It is realistic. Could it be published in a respected scientific journal? Nope. Does that really matter? Not at all. Will others criticize it? Undoubtedly. But, the critics may have biases... | |
| Y No YG ? @jackmonster I agree that the YG/Auralic setup at AXPONA was very good. It was the first room I walked into Sunday (because it opened early) and I was really impressed. I personally liked the YG/Audionet combo better, but of course the price diffe... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof Nice write up. Our ears are similar :-) |
