| Tube integrated amp recommendations @secretguy Thanks for the reminder about Rogue CM. | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! I guess I'm the oddball on here but I've never been a jazz fan. I respect those who listen to jazz but I think it's good to play a variety of music to appeal to younger audiophiles. Going from room to room and hearing similar music can get kinda b... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. I’ve gave up on our local brick and mortar store for reasons very similar to yours. I honestly tried many times thinking maybe they were having a bad day or they were short staffed and so on. But time and time again, I got the ’you’re wasting my t... | |
| Cleaning vintage integrated amplifier @dill Thanks so much---will give it a try. | |
| Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging... Totally agree with you since I just did the same thing. I've been rearranging some furniture in my room to make room for a vintage system. My Dynaudio Special 40s in my main system were a little too close and not angled correctly. Once I moved the... | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? I've learned my lesson with a similar situation. If you loan money to a friend, be prepared to either lose your friend or lose your money. The only thing that worries me is suppose he calls you next week and wants to pay you back and get his recor... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. Many older audiophiles still have their vinyl and CDs and have been through everything Steve talks about. Many younger audiophiles have been streaming for years and are just getting into vinyl. So good for them. One of my good friends (who's 18) i... | |
| What do you think is the best integrated amplifier under 1000 Checkout the Outlaw stereo receiver---it's has good reviews. | |
| Supply chain affecting anyone? I’m updating my music room to set up the audio system i had in college. I need a new audio rack, some cables, etc. I’m shopping on-line and only looking at items that say ’in stock’ before I purchase. On another note, the car lots are incredibly e... | |
| Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k Naim Unity Atom (auditioned)---surprised me! I love my Luxman 505Uxii. | |
| How Do You Learn? I like to watch Youtube for product reviews, commentaries and the like. I've learned quite a bit from watching 'reputable' audiophiles. | |
| Streaming virgin I'm not extremely tech savvy either so I went an easy way and purchased a Marantz ND 8006 CDP/streamer and its so easy to use. I also have Spotify and the 8006 connects to your phone via Wifi---then voila! Spotify is streaming through your stereo.... | |
| What's your dream speaker? Eventually, I'd love to listen to the Focal Sopra No 1, the Devore Fidelity O/93 and a few Joseph Audio speakers. | |
| LED dimmable lights in audio room? I use Philips Hue lights through Wifi in my room and haven't had any problems---they were super easy to install and give off very cool effects. | |
| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences I’ve had great experiences with Music Direct. I’ve purchased from them as well as just calling to get some audio advice. Big kudos to the team at MD! I’ll definitely go back for future purchases. |
