| Local pick up only… It’s not just the shipping costs or taxes that people are concerned about. Many don’t realize this, but carriers (at least UPS) will only insure for damage if “they” box the item up themselves. Even if i box the speakers or any other item in i... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? So one cannot be an audiophile, in your opinion, if one doesn't believe switches, cables and fuses make a difference? How boring any forum would be if everyone agreed about everything. | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? I don’t think it’s so much “neglected” as it is “reasonably located” within what is, normally, a room used and shared by other members of a household. Not many are lucky enough to have a dedicated listening room. Now take that small group lu... | |
| Should I turn my CD player off when I am finished for the day I’ve never turned any of my CDPs off unless I was going on vacation or there was a severe thunderstorm. This applied to all my non-tubed electronics, as well. | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Guessing the bar is set low. Actually, the opposite. You’d be amazed at the quality of sound a pair of Etymotic ER4 and a phone streaming lossless can provide your ears. | |
| Internal biwire question Thank you. | |
| Surprised by streamer differences I've downloaded the Lightning DS but haven't compared the sound to the Roon. I wonder why the sound quality is different? Funny you mention the U1 Mini. I just got that in yesterday. I picked up three streamers (Stack, Auralic, Lumin) and th... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... I've been a big fan of Bose for damn near 40 years! 601 Series II, loved them and wish I still had them. 301 Series II was the first pair of speakers I bought after joining the Air Force. I still remember how nervous I felt spending that kind o... | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever I didn’t realize power cords made a difference with RCMs. Will have to look into upgrading. Thanks for the heads-up. | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. I think, unfortunately, with your room layout the only way you’re going to get anywhere near great sound would be to listen to something in the near field to account for the vast openness to the left and glass wall to the immediate right of your s... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? I think the upper end of the high end maybe even the “vanilla” version of the high end has gotten stupid expensive. But at the same time one can assemble a great system for not too much of a cost nowadays, as well. What’s really crazy is you can... | |
| Qobuz/Tidal Differences jjss49, I've seen lots of threads where people express their likes/dislikes for one services or the other and their reasons for it, but not any that come to mind where actual recordings are named so others who want to can also compare to see if t... | |
| Qobuz/Tidal Differences Can you point me in the direction of artists/tracks you used to compare where these differences were heard? Thanks, all. | |
| any thoughts? I wouldn't. I've got two Icons that's been sitting in the garage for years due to laser failure. | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 I agree with fthompson251. I actually have the previous version of the Node 2i and added the Denafrips Aries II just last week using a coaxial cable. The sound quality is excellent. Good luck and have fun. |
