| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts AC DC killed it Wednesday night at the Meadowlands in NJ. I saw them in the late 70s with Bon Scott (a few times) and Back in Black with Brian Johnson in 1980 )and at he Garden a few years ago). I have to add this show to my top five as it was kil... | |
| AV Receiver recommends Okyo has not fixed their issues - using stronger plastic doesnt cut it. WE dont want bang for the buck - we want to pay for the quality we get. Pioneer Elite much better than Pioneer but their HT receievrs are class D, which don't do it for me. (C... | |

| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Tempo 1 | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no I ran my dac direct to amps and thought it sounded great until I added a preamp - no comparison in my rig. No preamp meant no midrange warmth and my volume lost too much resolution (berkeley dac and then esoteric k03). You lose res with every redu... | |
| AV Receiver recommends The onkyo and pioneer are rinky dink. The power ratings on the consumer stuff is nonsense. Everyone is 100 watts a channel - probably peak to peak (not rms) when only one channel is running. Load up all 5 channels and its like 30 watts in the fron... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? Socfan12, you will also see you have more resolution, especialy in the midrange and no loss of resolution when you lower the volume. | |
| Simaudio versus Accuphase? Totally agree - simaudio is the Hundai and Accuphase is the Maserati. | |
| What HardDrive Do You Use? I did some extensive research when I put together my DROBO and everywhere I read directed me to not very expensive Western Digital Reds. (I use the WD blacks, 10,000 rpm in my server, on a RAID array). | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I would definitley not use a source with usb to judge anything. | |
| AV Receiver recommends I had the pioneer elite (non class d amps) but wouldn't get a new pioneer with d class amps (they suck) so I wetn with NAD and it blew my Poneer Elite AWAY. Thee ar some good class d amps out there but not in any consumer grade surround soun d rec... | |
| Tom Cruise Do you guys remember when people actually aspired to own a nice stereo system? It was like owning a nice car. | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Cecil Mclorin Slavant - St Louie Gal - wow! | |
| Computer Audio..Stream or download? Tidal rocks. I feel for those who have not discovered it yet. I got my new absolute sound this month, sat in front of the rig with a glass of wine. Every recommendation of a song I read was on Tidal and I got to play it, uncompressed, while I was ... | |
| Esoteric need a pre-amp? You only need a (good) preamp if you want to hear all of the beauty the machine can unleash. If you don't want all of the magical midrange, go w/o the preamp. |
