| Which turntable should I choose? I have a Hanna SL. It is awesome for the price. Good choice. I also have a Thorens TD165 I've own from new MANY years. Thorens is a very good turntable but I also own a Feickert Volare turntable and have sampled other modern turntables. I found th... | |
| Are all Audiophiles masocists? Lets change the definition to "Things you pursue in your spare time." That will get that hobby/sport hick-up out of the way. And yes, that was in nice flat Florida with a pace-line group in our cycling club ride. I did compete in an amature Crit e... | |
| Are all Audiophiles masocists? Sport vs Hobby? A sport is when you participate in organized competition. A hobby is when you do something for the love of it. Not organized competition and not professionally. I.E. pretty sure drag racing a car at test and tunes is not a sport. I... | |
| What other hobby... My wife often reminds me my hobby is... collecting hobbies. No limits! | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Nelson Pass' products are head and shoulders above anything Clause supplies. Not even in the same ballpark. My experience with Odyssey is, purchased a Candella/Kismet. Never had any trouble with noise from amps prior to this. This pair you could h... | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? Tekton seems to be everyone’s favorite punching bag on this subject. I started in that camp too. Bigtime, in fact. But unlike most attackers, I actually purchased a pair of Double Impacts for a trial to prove the point. But, with great distress, t... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. I loved my B&W 804 Nautilus for a very long time and compared them with other speakers over the years. I did a trial on a pair of Tekton Double Impact speakers just to see what the fluff-up over Tekton was about. The 3K Tektons were a huge imp... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? On the PC LPS, this is what I have and it is very impressive for that application. It’s been in service for more than a year and never gets turned off. It was a genuine improvement for my self-brewed music server PC. https://hdplex.com/hdplex-fanl... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? Over the last year I also built the Amp Camp Amp kit. It's fun-value and performance were so good I immediately moved on and built the B1 Korg preamp kit. That was before they had a full kit available for the B1K, but they now have a complete kit ... | |
| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone My gun shop has a sign that says... For an extra fee we will give you a receipt for the amount you're going to tell your wife you paid. | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) Monoprice Monolith. Just a thought... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp A lot of we crazy audiophiles never turn our amps off because it sounds better after it's been on for a period of time. I thought it was a crazy idea for a long time too, but my opinion changed. I can hear a difference. But, to each their own opin... | |
| Beginner choosing amp help I went through valve amps, SS amps etc. and did a ton of A-B comparisons with my Wife and Daughter. They have bat ears and will notice even subtle changes in a system. Plus they knew/understood zero about the hardware. No hardware bias. And after ... | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) Lyngdorf has some excellent products that fit this description. They really aren't class D architecture, but are true digital integrated amps. I tested these against many competitors in my system before deciding on Lyngdorf as the winner. All othe... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. That isn't 40% of even list price. Much less 50%. Thanks for reinforcing my opinion of you your opinion. Now I'll take my own advice and ignore you from now on. |
