| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype I have upgraded my DACs several times. I’ve listened to more than 10 in different systems. Not every one made a difference. Once I got up to about $IK they all sounded pretty good. I also found that it’s about more than the price. I have a $2... | |

| Comparing speakers at home questions I’ve done both. I find having both for an ideally a couple of weeks gives me time to listen and get comfortable with the sound and the decision. A more thorough audition than just A/B certain songs and Less buyers remorse. No better way to buy s... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The new Jethro Tull - Curious Ruminant | |
| Streamer Advice I second the Innuos recommendation. I bought a used Zen MK3 from a great local dealer for $1800. A definite upgrade from by Bluesound Node N130 streamer. It also has a CD ripper with storage so if you have CDs you can have in one component and ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Thanks. You too. I love the Yes album, Fragile and Close to the Edge. An amazing 3 album run. Neil Young - Oceanside Countryside. Comes a Time and Tonight’s the Night. | |
| One Sub or Two? For a 2 channel music system I recommend 2 subs. 2.2 sounds better than 2.1 in my experience. A lot of good manufacturers depending on what size you want and your budget. I have SVS SB1000 Pros which fit my space and budget. Love their app for con... | |

| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer Depends on your preferences and budget. I have a pair Revel M126Be standmounts that sound excellent with my pair of SVS SB1000 Pro subs. They have a rear vent that can be plugged but I removed the plug. I preferred them over KEF R3 Meta, B&... | |

| Has it all been worth it? Definitely worth it. My equipment has changed as my budget has changed. Like you after 50 years my current setup is my best yet. It’s a great hobby and I’ve enjoyed my musical journey. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Yes I’ve had the same experience lately. I could guess at the reasons why but it’s a real thing. I have a pair of speakers I’m still selling and someone asked me why I was selling for 1/2 price. I was honest and told them I had priced them high... |
