| Are You a Swifty? Ugh, I think her music is absolutely putrid. | |
| A listening test of two power amps A strange post....can't say I learned anything. All I care about is which amp sounds best, and how much. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @viridian The ortofon bronze sounds wonderful with a tube phono preamp. Its a great cartridge. Fremer mentions the use of a tubed phono stage with the bronze in one of his cartridge shootout articles. | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables Idk, naim swears that their intentionally loose iec sockets on their equipment sound better... | |
| Stolen property Honestly, what would it matter if stolen or not? Your never going to know the truth...so either buy and get a great deal, or pass. Unless of course the product is counterfeit...This equates to finding a 100 dollar bill on the sidewalk, and then qu... | |
| The time has come and I request advice... Just got an ifi zen dac v2 signature ...going to use it connected directly to my newly aquired (on a gamble) Nad c268 class D power amp via 4.4 mm to xlr balanced input. The zen has an analog volume pot and no headphone amp, so its just purely a d... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker Just one more reason I do not like animals in the house....I have to put up with wife's cat who likes to sleep on my amp(s). He also likes to use everything as his scratching post, even though he has an actual scratching post. I must keep my speak... | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... Great reviews on the music hall stealth direct drive turntable...$1699. Paired with music hall's own a3 tube preamp with alps blue velvet volume control...$999. | |

In fact. I see it as weeding out what pairs well and what does not. I dare say that It may actu... | |
| Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others? My sugden a21se combined with tannoy eatons throws a tremendous Soundstage. I believe it to be a very synergistic pairing. It helps that I also use a tavish tube phono preamp. | |
| Records and CDs @boxcarman I still own and use a stereo tuner, several actially. I own a dynalab, kenwood, camridge audio, and several others. I also own a nakamichi tape deck, as well as two Aiwa and a vintage Toshiba. I play them all. To me, both FM stereo and ... | |
| Records and CDs Why would you want to get rid of your record collection that you worked very hard to culminate? It’s like a music library/history. That would be like saying I’m a book collector and I have created a beautiful library, but want to sell off the book... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Last time I checked, border patrol uses a tube in their power supply on dacs, and it sounds more "analog" or "tube like" to my ears. It’s one of the better dacs I’ve heard that appeals to my taste. | |
| Crackle and hiss on some albums Some record labels or pressings just used inferior or recycled vinyl. The Noise cannot be removed. However, if dirty, then the record dr is a great economical machine. I use mine with audio intelligent #6 cleaner. There will also be a bit more noi... | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system Can't do much wrong with a musical fidelity v90 dac. Can still be had for about $299. I love mine. |
