| Latest Absolute Sound @tomic601 - yes, but in order to save costs and make sure nobody has better hearing than anyone else, the gubmint will only give you one hearing aid. Mono rules!!!! ;-) | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Soomeday, someone will become rich by inventing a sarcasm font. Yes, TAS is $36 for 3 years. An outrage!!!! | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I would cancel my subscription to TAS if I could afford the crazy $36 per year subscription fee!!! $36?!?!?! For a handful of printed pages and pictures??? Does Robert Harley think we are all millionaires? How dare anyone make a product that I ... | |
| New Class A/B under $6K, your recommendation? Odyssey Audio Stratos Mono Extreme - $3400/pr. That's what I'd buy for Class A/B under $6K. | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! FWIW, I bought a used McIntosh C220 tube preamp from Audio Classics in 2010. I remain very pleased with this preamp. I rarely use the tone controls, but they are well implemented and defeatable. Finding a preamp with all the features of a Mac i... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! lewm - I understand your concern, but as I think I made clear above, my only connection with Sweetvinyl is that I committed to be a beta tester for the SC-2 during Sweetvinyl’s Indiegogo campaign. As a contributor, I receive regular email updates ... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! vpi - Nope - all the signal paths you can select are full range. You choose from (1) the unfiltered signal, with all the pops and clicks, (2) the filtered signal, which filters out the pops and clicks - more or less filtering as you adjust the rot... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Sounds like you are all set up for your Sugarcube, thaluza. One of the cool features on it allows you to listen to the whole, unfiltered signal, the de-clicked signal, or just the clicks being filtered. This is important, because, using the de-c... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! thaluza - Have you ever heard a Sugarcube demo? I have. Extremely impressive. The click & pop removal sounded totally transparent to me. Plus, Sweetvinyl claims they have further improved the process in the last few months. Hopefully, our... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Well, there have been some setbacks at Sweetvinyl, so the Sugarcube units are still being built and tested. It looks like my SC-2 will ship without a lot of the functionality that was promised. However, all the functionality promised will be ava... | |
| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? A lot of pop is terrible, true, but not all of it. Are there issues with sound quality? Of course, but SQ and the music itself are two different things. Now, if you include new music, not necessarily what is popular, there are many, many great ... | |
| Journey ending speakers I don’t change gear or speakers often. Too much effort and expense. The third pair of speakers I have purchased over a 39-year time span will likely be my last - Ohm Walsh 2000s, each with their own Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofer (with M-HP5 crossovers... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Thanks, initforthemusic. I continue to try and put more hours on the MA-3. I am prolly at about 300 hours. Although overall I am very pleased, the bass response remains puzzling. Sometimes, I hear wonderful extension and weight, sometimes there se... | |
| Which dac or other suggestions I agree with mhart032 - you are unlikely to improve on the DAC in the Marantz AVR without spending a good deal more. I haven't heard the Emotiva amp, except at a show, but I have listened a bit to some mid-priced Revel speakers. I liked them, bu... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 gdhal - also, assuming the UDP-205 uses the same DAC and streamer as the Sonica DAC, the UDP-205 may lack gapless playback, like the Sonica. This can be addressed with a software upgrade via the net, but so far, I don't see such an update coming ... |
