| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? If posters knew they would be known by name and later meet the people they exchange with online, they would be more polite. Internet fora allow anonymity and the illusion of no consequences. For people of questionable character and poor impulse co... | |
| Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it With your wish list, I suggest looking at the Willsenton R8 (the improved later version) or the Muzishare X7. Both are push-pull AB and will deliver 45WPC in ultralinear mode, enough to power average speakers and will have a headphone jack also. T... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? We live in interesting times. In audio, there has never been a better time to be seeking and buying audio equipment, for many reasons. The web has made information available to everyone with a smartphone at every level of the industry not previou... | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? F&F is no more an "industry standard" than is under-declaring value on import goods. It is not an acceptable term for closing a business transaction. Insuring product in transit is also expected. | |
| There is none out there...... Technics SLG700M2. $3,500. Balanced outputs. | |
| There is none out there...... The Marantz SACD 30n network player seems to be what you are looking for. It will connect to your network by ethernet cable or WiFi, has a CD transport, DAC, headphone amp, HEOS compatability, optical and coax digital inputs, digital output for ex... | |
| What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay Be sure it is a 120 VAC and not 100V, as is common in Japan. You won't get a warranty through the USA distributor, most likely. If anything goes wrong, you will be spending hundreds to send it back to Japan. | |
| Commercial air travel with a speaker UPS has a freight forwarding service. You can have them pack and pallet the speakers and send it by truck or air freight. You can have the shipment crated also, which obviously costs more but is more secure. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? "Digital" amplification will eventually dominate both mass market and hi-fi, not that there won't still be products available with traditional topologies. In many respects, this has already happened in the "lifestyle" market at every level, from i... | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college Dorm rooms and campus apartments will have lots of people in and out, roommates, their friends, maintenance people. In that use case, something small and not too flashy. Maybe something used. Whatever it is will be moved and moved again, so nothin... | |
| Linn Audio Looking at their website, Linn appears to have a product line that aims to provide a complete system at different price points with flexibility to offer one-box (wifi streamer, DAC, player and integrated amp) simplicity to more traditional analog... | |
| Marantz SACD 30n vs ND8006 / CD50n The ND8006 is out of production, so only available on the second-hand market. The SACD30n is available new | |
| Marantz SACD 30n vs ND8006 / CD50n The ND8006 and SACD 30n are similar on features. At NPP, the 8006 cost half that of the 30n. The SACD 30n has the higher end line casework and styling of the two. Both have a WiFi and ethernet streamer, HEOS, Bluetooth, a DAC, CD transport and h... | |
| The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! 84dB for what is hybrid omnidirectional (at least as concerns the midrange 7x1.5" array which appears to be aimed across 270 degrees of arc) with the tweeter and woofer aimed forward and a rear-directed passive radiator. Omni speakers are relative... | |
| Integrated power for KEF R3 Meta @jeffreyw 87dB 4 ohm if we are to believe KEF. We are speaking here of the R3 Metas, which attractively sell for around $2K a pair. They are well-rated around the web. So as to avoid confusion, we are not talking about the KEF Reference series s... |
