| Digital is far better than vinyl Whatever the impetus for the OPs post, it really cracked me up. Thanks for that. Regards, barts | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender +1 @audphile1 My son uses the same EERO for his mesh network. He is not an audiophile...but is a videophile/gamer. Gaming is severely more intense use of resources and on his 85" Sony top-of-the-line monitor there is never a glitch/dropout not... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? WBGO in Newark NJ is all jazz, listener supported no ads. An occasional fund raiser. It is 88.3 on the FM dial if you're close enough (the transmitter is in Times Square NYC). Otherwise, Regards, barts | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? In my environs cars are seen as accessories or jewelry even. "Nuff said. | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? Marketing plays on all of us no matter how much you think it doesn't. Just ask my wife how she likes the Home Shopping Network! Should have blocked that sheeit the first time I heard of it. Sheesh! Only >100 pair of shoes later................ | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? The question I get by the uninitiated is "How loud will this play?" Loud enough is my reply, but that is not the point. I have been asked the cost and I simply say I'm not sure. There's one other annoying thing people do which is pick a track a... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Out of sheer curiosity I stopped in at PS Audio to listen to the FR30. Having spent an hour with them I must say I was not impressed considering their price point. To be fair I really don't think the room was set up properly (?) and an hour is n... | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC @rsf507 +1 My experience as well. "very flat" it never caused me to become "part of the music" just my 2 cents, but that's it. Regards, barts | |
| How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers Nobody here has my system...which is wonderful and why I keep coming back to listen and learn. No one has my Hartley Reference speakers. And no one has my D111 ARC amp of which 20 were made and there are very few D110B amps out there as well as ... | |
| Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits? @tim_p I am not privy to customs regs in any sense...but I have bought several Bryston products and never heard a word about it. And the purchase was even below the MSRP (new pieces). To your original point, don't play in an arena that you are... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen I can't comment on active vs passive speakers, except to say I would hope that the speaker designer would test many amp configurations to find the best "bar none". It has always seemed sort of self defeating to have the output signal from an amp ... | |
| This place is getting sloooooooweeeerrr...... The pages load slow for me as well, but it may be good today (its not) and bad tomorrow. No issues with other sites, this is my home office with 200mps wired connection. I've cease to try and figure it out. Regards, barts | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? @larsman +1 Ahhh...the good old Owsley Stanley "Wall of Sound" days. That was by far the best outdoor sound I've ever heard. You could actually use audiophile terms to describe it. OTOH the worst was McCartney at Giants stadium which was so ... | |
| Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with? Oh my...talk about circular logic. @clearthinker you win! | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? @fthompson251 Since the amps are going to VAC for a lot of upgrades (rebuild, tubes) I would suggest that you bring (or send) the amp PCs and ask them to run the inevitable tests they must run as a manufacturer with your PCs. They do testing al... |
