| Bookshelf Speaker Stand Difference? I've often thought the same thing. I have a pair of Dynaudio Special 40s with Dynaudio stands. However, I've thought about trying the Focal Kanta 1's and wondered if the Dynaudio stands would be ok with the Kantas. But, get this, the Focal stands ... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Absolutely!!! 100% agree with this post. Music (even without concerts) will get us through these dark days. | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? Denon PMA-757 Pre-main amp, B & O Beogram TT, Canton Karat 200 speakers, Nakamichi BX-150 deck, Denon CDP. Good times! | |
| Does Age Matter? 55 yo here and I listen to mostly digital. I have a nice TT but I play it less than streaming. I also play some old mix tapes on my 1991 Denon deck. I have good DAC and Spotify Premium suits me just fine. Oh, I also play CDs but still, mostly digi... | |
| High end Class D amps? @phillyb @noble100 Such interesting dialogue. I admit I don't quite understand a lot of the specific acoustic specs, etc....but I enjoy reading others' opinions about them. It makes me wonder about brands such as Mola Mola, Merrill and JR that alw... | |
| REVIEW: Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated, Soniquil Cables.... Customer service is very important to me. There's only one hifi store in my city and I have never had one good experience there even when I was just window shopping. I've given them a 'second chance' over and over and nothing changes. I know an ac... | |
| 2021 audio system wish list Going to try a new power conditioner but that's about it.As for COVID, trust me, it's horrible. I've had so many friend get sick and be hospitalized. The hospital I work for is slammed---the ICUs look like war zones. I got my first vaccine last Sa... | |
| Mistakes I’ve made I've never loaned audio equipment to friends but I've loaned CDs and records that were never returned. I wish I had half of the amount of money I've loaned to people who never paid me back---I'd be pretty rich. My parents always told me never to l... | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... What ever happened to Boston Acoustics? | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I haven't had good experiences with tubes---I guess I'm the oddball. I had the same thing---hiss, noise, dinging sounds. I went back to SS and I'm staying. I prefer a completely black background. | |
| High end Class D amps? @noble100 @jjss49 Thanks for the advice and you made a lot of great points. Yes, I'm still learning and experimenting on my audiophile journey. I've never been an impulse buyer and try to do as much research as I can without over doing it. Funny y... | |
| High end Class D amps? @twoleftears Thanks so much! I'm still trying to learn. :) | |
| High end Class D amps? So I'm confused about the little Nuprime ST10 amp (which has gotten rave reviews btw). Its output is rated at 150wpc at 8 Ohms and the same at 4 Ohms(??). Plus it has a toroidal transformer. Does that make it a hybrid of sorts? | |
| High end Class D amps? There are so many highly experienced audio pros in this thread that I still get a little overwhelmed by the technical talk, specs, etc. So after reading all the responses, here's what I'm thinking---so I have a pre-out on my Luxman 505uxii integra... | |
