| More potential bad news for some big names... I think many people didn't realize the interconnected nature of the global economy, especially when it came to small parts/component suppliers and how a simple shutdown can cause slowdowns/shutdowns further up the pipeline. Then while everyone was... | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time I'd add the following LPS as well: New Order - Power, Corruption and Lies, Technique, Brotherhood Echoes and the Bunnymen - self titled, Porcupine The The's - Mind Bomb and Dusk Pet Shop Boys - Behaviour, Please, The Cars - Heartbreak City... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment For those of us who haven't haunted these forums for years/decades, sometimes posting a question or observation that's been trod upon before we arrived results in olde tymers grumbling about "this has been talked about" before, belittle what has b... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. @sokogear IMO Steely Dan has bad songs...Black Cow being one of them. As does Rush, Yes, the list goes on for me. I've tried many times to make it through certain Steely Dan albums that others considered great and have yet to find a single album t... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I think the concern about the death of audiophiles is a bit melodramatic. Perhaps at the high-end spectrum but the growth in mid-fi/future-fi products that are all-in-ones that can do many things is where the growth will be. Despite the growth o... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I think it’s rather fitting that us older generation is leading the way on YouTube. It’s also fitting that the music dies with us since we were exposed to the greatest music ever recorded from the 60’s to the 80’s. Don’t you think? The younger ge... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I'm not sure one can conclude that audiophiles are a dying breed and hi-fi in general is going the way of the dodo based on YouTube metrics of two videos. However, if your premise is based upon the old-school idea of what constitutes an audiophile... | |
| Integrated Amps @gano, I have the first dibs on that Bille amp since I asked about it to begin with!!!!! Just kidding. I'm curious when the Mk3 will come out and if it will address the minor issues @michaelalan highlighted in his response. | |
| Integrated Amps For the Music Fidelity owners, since the MF M6Si does not have an internal headphone amp, have any of you used the line level out to a separate headphone amp? I'm wondering if that would work. | |
| Integrated Amps Lots of great advice everyone! I do appreciate it. I've been doing more research the last couple of days and taking closer looks at the NAD c399, MF MSi6, Hegel H95, PS Audio Stellar Mk2, Rogue Sphinx V3, and a few others. The speaker upgrade I'm... | |
| Integrated Amps @soix I'm looking for more power than the 50W the Marantz has, as I plan to upgrade my speakers later this Fall. Key features for me are a good integrated phono stage, headphone amp, digital inputs, 100wpc, good sound quality, and a touch of warmth. | |
| Integrated Amps @grislybutter It was the British Audophile review that peaked my interest in the Heaven 11. But it's newness gives me a bit of pause but considering they're offering a 5yr warranty at least they're standing behind the product. Considering the Mk2 ... | |
| Can anyone identify this equipment? He has Fishbone in his vinyl collection so regardless of what else is going on in this photo, the man has excellent taste in music. | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD Cranky old men talking past one another on a forum about the death and revival of physical media is quite entertaining to read. As audiophiles, we're stuck on the idea that people purchasing physical media is heavily weighted by a desire for good ... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions Thanks again everyone for the advice. I've a lot to consider as I forge my upgrade path especially with regards to additional speaker recommendations and pre-amp/amp options as well. |
