| You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them? I agree with most of the opinions here. Some of the British reviewers are quite good--I like them better than some of the ones over here. I really despise the reviewers who claim they have found their 'end system' only to review new components a m... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love I purchased an NAD integrated and CDP from a reputable online store a few years ago when I started building my second system. They were the most bland sounding components I've ever owned. Thank goodness the store had a great return policy---I coul... | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear I was looking at McIntosh gear a few years ago when I was shopping for a new integrated. But they are quite deep in length and wouldn't fit on my audio racks. I ended up getting a Luxman instead. | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. I enjoy his reviews---he's a breath of fresh air and I appreciate his honesty when it comes to reviews. I believe he truly tries to help people. Speaking of reviewers, does anyone know what happened to Markonhifi??? He completely disappeared from ... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? It's not a huge change in sound but I replaced my original felt pad on my VPI with a rubber one. It did help reduce the static electricity I got with the felt pad. | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I had a nice Denon tuner back in the 80s as well---I enjoyed the alternative college stations and the Saturday night DJ dance mix shows. Now, I rarely even listen to FM in the car and my system hasn't had a tuner in 20+ years simply because curren... | |
| 2024 Audio System Wish List I'll play too---one of the first things I purchased after Xmas was a Petru Design graphic visualizer/record stand. I've seen them all over Instagram so I decided to get one as well. Super cool looking and it reminds me of the graphic equalizers fr... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k How about the new Luxman 507Z for about $9K? Rave reviews. | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Pet Shop Boys - Behavior. Their serious, melancholy album from 1990. Beautiful from beginning to end. | |
| CANTON SPEAKERS For what it's worth---I have a pair of Canton Karat 200s from 1986 (made in West Germany). I have them in my vintage system and they still sound awesome.I also have Dynaudio Special 40s and Tekton Lore References. They can compete with all of them. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I miss the EQs from the '80s. I had a Denon DE-70 which I regret selling. Wish they were still around. | |
| help choosing a turn table Look at the VPI Cliffwood (made in the USA) for $1499---it usually comes with an Orofon Red which is easily upgraded to a Blue if you want. Very well made and great customer service if you ever need them. | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? I've always had SS---I dabbled in tubes very briefly, but went back to SS. My reference system is Luxman. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? When I was a young lad, I saved up money from my part-time job and put my hifi equipment on layaway (from a high end store) and paid for everything in cash. Sometimes, it took the full 90-days to pay it off, but I did it. I don't think stores do l... | |
