| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? Class D is not digital. It does not digitize the analog input. I am all streaming but my friends who do vinyl are very emotionally attached and enjoy it tremendously. What amp you use is not a factor. Looks like your amp has a phono input so you d... | |
| Beware, scammers everywhere Funny in this thread: sellers will take nothing but zelle, pp friends and family, cash and buyers say they will never pay with zelle, pp friends and family, cash....both think they are right. My take: as both a buyer and a seller, I have neve... | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? I love it when I am logging in on my phone and they want to send a text to my phone to cofirm it is me. | |
| Sound quality of HD Radio vs CD vs Streamers?? When I first started streaming I did A/B testing with CDs and found streaming sounded better. That is when I upgraded to a CD transport to feed my standalone DAC and now no difference. I had friends do blind tests and we found no difference. No... | |
| Beware, scammers everywhere @jetter you assumed, but not wanting to make waves, I was purposely vague. | |
| Beware, scammers everywhere @jetter my feedback will always be zero. check for the same name elsewhere. You can figure it out pretty easily. Having perfect feedback is important. I've said for decades that a man only has one reputation. It takes years to build it and o... | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? REading about the sinope, it appears the handmade conductors have a single strand of silver woven with a bunch of copper. I'd much rather have silver plated copper as the current will travel mostly on the surface anyway. I have had great success... | |
| Best 4K Player in Terms of Transport Mechanism Following for recommendations on 4k dvd players. I don’t use my player at all for audio, just movies. You don’t have to give up your 2 channel system for HT. I have my 2 channel amp and my digital system on the rack with my HT stuff. I run a prea... | |
| Beware, scammers everywhere I recently sold a $3K used streamer to a fellow audiophile. It started out on the forum but then I got an email from him because he was out of the US and couldn’t get the forum to load. At first I didn’t realize it was the same guy so I was treati... | |
| Equipment insurance coverage Could you afford to go out and buy a new system if it diappeared? If so, your best bet is NO insurance. Insurance companies make money because the policies cost more than they pay out. If you can afford not to have insurance, you'll be financia... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I've got a 70" OLED which was the biggest available for less than 6 digits at the time. I see they are coming down. May move up to the 100" area. more stuff available in 4k and 4k upscaling. | |
| What would you save in a fire? Nothing audio. every time I replace it, it gets better. | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Maybe you didn't mean to come across like this but you sound like a very high maintenance customer that makes me glad I am not a retailer. That said, bestbuy and costco are very good with returns although I don't return much. I did get a defec... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT @newton_john Never tell a physicist he can't quantify something. However, did you see any numbers? I didn't try to quantify anyting. I just used a simple-to-understand method to describe the RELATIVE performance if these items. Unfortunately, ... | |
| Power Supply @kob pretty sure we'd have nothing to talk about. You already know it all. |
