| AES to s/pdif converter Yes, I wanted to get all the 24/192 selections from Qobuz, but it looks like time to upgrade the streamer. Thanks for the input. | |
| Starting Over and I need your help Stream Qobuz instead of Apple. Costs about $100 yearly. You will thank me later. | |
| AES to s/pdif converter I guess my online search messed up. Still wondering if this will add distortion into the cable. | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? @hilde45 and others. I appreciate your humor. Let's not be REAL serious about this. Most us us have a decent to awesome rig. For those in that category, it is upgrading the weakest piece. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i amp pairing The Hegel 250w rms seems to be a good match for me. Never runs out of power due to a high damping factor. Paired with a Velodyne 12" sealed box sub. You do need a sub for blues, reggae etc. | |
| Great Interview- I've been to a few Bonamassa concerts in the 2000's. What a performer! Had a rack of guitars like i've never seen. But his sound techs left a lot on the table. And he used only a small portion of the guitars. Heard better sound in some of th... | |

| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts I am not yet capable of uploading pictures, but I have a T-shirt with what stated with Da'Vinci's drawing of Man and changed slightly to him windmilling a guitar like Pete Townshend. Funny. | |
| What does the gold star mean on this listing for the LSA amp? I can vouch for Wally. Straight shooter. He does get some incredible deals. | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Your list should be full now. All good. I will suggest Earl Klugh and Bob James "Cool". | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? Sounds like a crock. Check your last blood test to see if you are low on something. Or high, haha. | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. Wow, this a true thinkpiece. Of course the musicianship is important, along with the musician's emotion traveling through the instrument, recorded excellently with precision gear and reproduced by your Hi-Fi. Everything is important. | |
| Selling, donating or giving away a good pair of vintage speakers If you can afford Magico's, you should give them away. Most of my friends don't have anything that good and would love them. One uses a Bose TV soundbar, etc. | |
| Quandary Remember this guy is a salesman. He gets paid for selling things. Take that $300 and go to an audio show, get a nice hotel room and go out for a nice dinner. That's something you won't regret. |
