| What would you upgrade? "Clearly a lot of room for improvement here."Ummm...how exactly is that? That's nice equipment - you didn't get any of that by buying 10 gallons of premium unleaded at 7-11. What exactly is wrong with the sound currently coming out? Or is it just ... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? You're a good egg Mapman. Wish I could talk more, but I have to get back to the kitchen...I'm very carefully unwrapping the outer sleeve of a salami in one long 1/8" strip - I plan to use it to replace my USB cable. | |
| Is computer audio a bust? I'm with you Mapman, but I think you're beating your head against the wall, unfortunately."You don't use USB for audio""USB is too polluted""There is no proper way of using USB"Cerrot isn't talking in terms of potential, or possibilities, or advan... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? I've petitioned congress to create national "Computer Audio is Dead!" and "USB cables should not be used for anything except tying shoes!" days for Audiolabyrinth and Cerrot, respectively. I admire Agear and others for attempting honest, rational ... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Audiolabyrinth, why dont you head on over to the Tesla forums and try to convince them that electric automobiles are a bust. You may have better luck there - too many of us are enjoying the music here. | |
| Audio Research VSi55 Tube Rolling Hifigeek1, thanks for the input - I have seen mention of the quality decline elsewhere, so I'm on board with what you're saying.Albertporter, I've already confirmed with ARC (and others have posted previously to the same effect) - the VSi55 takes ... | |
| Audio Research VSi55 Tube Rolling I've got a VSi55, and would like some tube recommendations...rather than start a whole new thread, let's resurrect this thread after an 8 year hibernation...Lots has happened since 2006...KT120s have been introduced to the mix (and fully compatibl... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Joecasey - you did realize I was joking about computer audio, sex and marijuana all being obsolete in 5 years, right? :-)See my follow-up post and you'll see that I consider computer-based audio to not only have a future, but a great future - my s... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Anyone who thinks USB can't be done right has never spent time with Peachtree's XMOS-chip based asynch implementation in their X-1 Grand Integrated. My system could not be much simpler...an off-the-shelf HP computer from Costco, playing songs ripp... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Computer audio is a passing fad, just like sex and marijuana (not necessarily together, but not necessarily not together). You wait - in 5 years, nobody will want any of the three. You heard it here first. | |
| Preachtree Nova220se compared to Devialet I'm glad Recred1 pointed that out, about Aerial using the Peachtree at one of their shows. I agree - they could use any of dozens of integrated amps to power their speakers at a show, and the fact that they went with a Peachtree says a lot. The po... | |
| Preachtree Nova220se compared to Devialet Seanile, did you actually listen to the Peachtree 220SE with the 3 pairs of speakers, and determine via actual listening that it wasn't a good match? Or are you just assuming that's the case because there's a price gap between the speakers and Pea... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store I know exactly what you mean, Jwm, we're on the same page. I agree there's a subset group of buyers for whom price is the only consideration - nothing else matters. I just wonder if too many salespeople prematurely "give up" on potential customers... | |
| FREIGHT SHIPPER Sorry, correction, the C&F in your region is out of Middlesex, NJ, but they handle your whole area. | |
| FREIGHT SHIPPER If you're talking about big floor standers, something valuable and fragile like the 802, I can recommend Craters & Freighters...we used them many times to ship everything from artwork to jukeboxes to pinball machines to rare furniture. They ha... |
