| 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... | |
| The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! Did anyone see the Zu speakers? | |
| New VPI and Gershman Acoustics Product Debuts at CAF 2023! Maybe it looks better in person, but I'm not a fan of that pic. | |
| Scent of an Audio Store Intoxicating like a new car smell. | |
| I Cried Today Such a beautiful post---thank you for sharing this with us. | |
| Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023 I was hoping to go this year but couldn't make it--maybe next year. I hope more folks posts their experience there. It was a lot of fun when I went in 2019, then covid. | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question @nealkot Thank you! That works when I play through my MacBook. When i disconnect the cable from my MacBook and connect it to the Node---nothing. I was beginning to think the Zen Dac wasn't working but it works fine with my computer, just not the N... | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question My bad---it is USB, not HDMI. Sorry about that. I connected everything as directed and was able to toggle with the Node’s app and was able to activate the toggle to turn on the external DAC. However, once connected, there’s no difference in sound-... | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question Hi @dancub and others--I need some help. I connected the external dc adapter and the HDMI to the Zen DAC V2. It's lit up. But on the Bluesound Node app (version 4.0), the external DAC switch will not let me turn it on. No sound from the Zen DAC he... | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question Thanks again for the good advice---I've got the cables to connect just need the 5v adapter then I'll try it. @parker65310 Good to know about Silnote Audio--I'm in VA, will def check them out. | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question Thanks for the responses so far--I had to order a 5v adapter so hopefully it'll be here in a couple of days. Will keep you posted. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I still have a pair of Canton Karat 200s and a Denon PMA-757 (made in Japan) integrated amp from the mid-80s and they still sound amazing. The Karats were made in West Germany, pre-unification. There's no Canton dealers near me but I'd love to hea... | |
| Sugden Amps Definitely look at the Sugden A21 (Signature or SE). My signature has a phono amp---I don't believe the SE has a phono amp. It runs warm but not hot. Extremely musical and well built. It's my first class A and I love it!! Go through @goldprintaudi... | |
| Burning smell Totally agree with contacting McIntosh--they may recommend that you send it to them to have it checked out. | |
| Totem Towers Hopefully one of the big Youtube reviewers will get these in soon---I'm very curious. They do look quite a bit like the Hawks. |
