| Thoughts/Opinions on Technics SL-G700M2 CD/SACD Player +1 for Music Direct. I bought "open box" equipment from them. Came with full factory warranty. After 55 days I contacted them about returning under their 60 day no questions asked policy. The return was handled exceptionally well. Can't say ... | |
| Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages This sites for music lovers. So that would be phone sax. 😆 | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? @danager I think you missed what is arguably the greatest drinking song of all time. George Thorogood - I Drink Alone. What the heck, throw in his cover of John Lee Hooker - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital John Schofield double LP "Hand Jive". Better than CD? Impossible to say as people hear what they want to hear. I can confirm it's a fabulous LP and a personal go to when I want to hear great sound from my turntable. No need to break the bank.... | |
| Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house? Google soundproofing a room. Seriously. | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit I feel we often confuse the Watts rating of our equipment with the real world power they use. I have two Hegel H30 mono amps rated at 1150 watts each. In theory, I require 19 amps just for these. I can tell you that they only draw about 5 amps ... | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit I'm assuming you don't run 5 power amps at the same time. In reality, your entire system, when running, probably draws +/- 5 amps. Your 15 amp breaker can handle a constant draw of 12 amps, and shorts bursts above 15 amps without tripping. Yes... | |
| Oh my goodness! Bob buys a DAC for $250. Believes it is all you need and is astounded that anyone would spend $2500. Bill buys a DAC for $2500. Believes it's the right choice and it provides much better sound than any $250 unit, and he's astounded that anyone ... | |
| Oh my goodness! Well, that's 5 minutes of my life I won't get back. | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 Where's the stereo equipment? 😆 | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 My first question would be what are you planning to plug into this box? With so many plugs, will you be overloading the circuit? Do you have the opportunity to run a dedicated gounded line fron your main panel? If grounding is important, I don... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? @ibmjunkman Good One 🤣 As for AI entering the picture, I was very interested in George Martin's son using AI to dissemble and then re-mix the Revolver LP. I assume if the time, money and interest were there, they could take a four channel recor... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? Let's be honest. Who else had to google the definition of "gestalt"? 🤣 But has the point been missed? An engineer piles everything into the center or worse, takes a trio and places two instruments in each other's lap, right in the center and pi... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? I have argued this point many times. Sure a better system makes good recordings sound their best, but as the saying goes, Your Can't Polish A Turd. You can only reproduce what's on the recording. No amount of money spent is going to change that... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! @deep_333 It would seem there are as many great amps as there are members offering opinions. I assume many are recommending what they have in their own system. So I'll just give a +1 to Hegel amps. I've owned three, working my way up to the H3... |
