| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change ahuvia, thanks for sharing your thoughts. ggch, I totally agree with the last sentence of your post. jjss49, and with your post this thread can be closed. Thanks all for your input and suggestions. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change At one point I had three separate systems set up in my house (well, yes, obviously I am single). I got rid of most of that gear about 7 years ago as I started having back issues and I couldn't sit comfortably. I could stand and move without any ... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change Thanks, everyone for your thoughts and suggestions. I appreciate all of you. | |
| Are You a Swifty? Yes, I am. She's one of my favorite pop artists. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change Case in point of what I do: I just swapped out my system (amp, pre, speakers) last weekend because I wanted to put my Spatial M3 TM in. I also wanted a flea watt amp and a tubed pre. So out came the James Burgess 2A3/45 amp and the Calypso pre.... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change About the picture…it’s a power cord that came with my Running Springs Maxima. The outer sheath was loose and taped in place so I decided to pull it back and take a look. Now, this is PC that I was told costs over $1K new!!! Turns out it has abo... | |
| How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months? Thanks, all. The pre is only a few years old (not sure exact date as I’m currently at work) and it was just kept in my spare bedroom which I use for storage. I’m the only one who handles the gear so no drops, bumps, etc. And no dramatic change ... | |
| How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months? I'm guessing danager is probably right. 😉 I only visually checked the fuse and didn't do a continuity test with the power cord connector. I'll try those next. None of the tubes turn on. I'm leaning toward the toggle power switch gave out as t... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Joe Sample - Old Places, Old Faces. | |
| Did I Get the Wrong Intel NUC? Thanks, all. I’ve checked over at the Roon forums and most everyone says the ROCK OS needs to go on an M.2 SSD so I ordered one. | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Mhwilliford, Thanks for sharing what you hear the differences to be. Appreciate it. | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Not sure if the hearing test question was directed at me, but in my case I did have one done a few months back. I don't hear past 13k or so, I think. It might have been even lower. mhwilliford, have you noticed differences in sound after going ... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Thanks, duckworp, for sharing your testing results. I think most audio gear is so good nowadays that the "diminishing returns" thing kicks in real hard sometimes. Your post reminds me of a time years back where I bought a new pair of speakers ... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! At one time I was comparing three different streamers and three DACs. I was rather surprised that I heard bigger differences in sound quality with the streamers than I did the DACs. | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Thanks, everyone, for your shared experiences. I do appreciate it. Normally, how I evaluate new gear is to put it in and live with it for a while. Sometimes, the new piece doesn’t play well with whichever pieces are in play that it gets removed ... |
