| Advice needed: am I going in the right direction? That amp has multiple RCA inputs. You run a USB cable from your computer to a DAC. The DAC will have RCA outs that you can connect to one of the RCA inputs. You don't need digital inputs on the amp. Not complicated at all. I don't have any re... | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? It would be worth a call to your insurance agent to see if your homeowners coverage covers your loss. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw My MOFI copy of Abandoned Luncheonette that I purchased from Discogs was advertised as "NM-", but didn't quite live up to that. It does sound really good for the most part, just not as clean and quiet as the "new" one I picked up yesterday.... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hall & Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette. I've bought a few copies of this including MOFI and a "hot stamper". I finally found one that sounds really clean, almost like new, for $5 today. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw The vinyl itself had a little bit of noise but overall I thought it sounded great. One of the things that caught my attention was the production quality. I'm not sure I have the words to describe it, but it reminded me of older classic ro... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I picked up a nice used copy of Jack White's Blunderbuss and listened to that last night. I think that might be my favorite record of his. | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I read this line from the Pitchfork review:"Brothers Jake and Sam Kiszka, on guitar and bass, are both wearing hippie costumes they 3D-printed off the internet. The singer, the wretched and caterwa... | |
| Back to the drawing board You should probably give the guys at SVS a call and see about doing an in home demo and getting some tips on proper setup. I'm with the others who question if the SVS subs were set up correctly at Best Buy. Your experience doesn't line up with m... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I listened to Christian McBride's New Jawn last night. I really liked it, reminds me a lot of Ornette Coleman, some good free form instrumentals. | |
| Help- Review on Phono Stage I had one of their older phone stages, the Tube Box II and it was OK, but nothing to get excited about. I didn't keep it very long. The small format is nice.For $400 I'd get a Parks Puffin. I just bought one and to my ears it sounds better than... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? The Zeppelin influences are obvious. Led Zeppelin were influenced by other artists, and they influenced many other artists, some who were probably more blatant in their attempts to try to sound "Zeppelinish". Whitesnake and Kingdom Come are a co... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I do both. I buy used gear from other enthusiasts, usually at about 50% of the new price. Overall my experience doing that has been good, but there have been a couple of incidents where I got ripped off or something wasn't as advertised. I usua... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville. 25 years already, doesn't seem like it. | |
| Looking for an Integrated Amplifier to match Totem Rainmaker Speakers @bomd Give them a call and ask. I have had them ship things to me before, so I know they'll do it. They have a pretty liberal return policy also, I want to say 90 days, but I'm not sure. | |
| Looking for an Integrated Amplifier to match Totem Rainmaker Speakers @bomd I was at Gig Harbor Audio here in Washington and they had an Elixir set up in a demo system. I just stopped in and wasn't planning to buy anything, but after hearing the Elixir I snapped one up to replace my Peachtree Nova 300. It's very d... |
