| Your favorite obscure song Right Back to It by Waxahatchee from the Tigers Blood Album. Anyone ever going through the ups and downs of relationships will appreciate this song. | |
| Best selling albums of all time I have all on the list save Whitney Houston and Led Zeppelin. The Rumors album on SACD holds a special place in my heart. | |
| My SACD Transport feeds so much better signal to my DAC compared with streaming end... I have to concur with Ghdprenice. I purchased an older N100 to try streaming with an Aurender. I can honestly say the sound exceeded my expectations. I no longer am interested in physical media. The streamer is all that I want to listen to for... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC Question Taken from Website and manual. I know most manuals are tedious But taking a few minutes to peruse yours may save you some trouble in the future!!! On the faceplate of the DAC50x-4ch you can use the LCD which is a touch screen and the rotar... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC Question Looks like mute is engaged. Have you tried unplugging the unit? My PS Audio DAC would need to be rebooted after storms or electrical surges. | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? All of those things are important to me. But some, like sound quality, value, parts quality, and measurements are higher on the list. But yes they are all factors. But I am not going to buys something that is off the charts in every category b... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? When you say commitment. I think of what percentage do you listen to your vinyl rig. I grew up listening to my uncle’s records. I remember distinctly hearing the warmth that vinyl brings to the table. But when I was in High School CD hit the... | |
| McIntosh amp Power tube replacements needed Wow, I do not think I have ever seen someone excited to retube their amp! I am with no gaps. I think there are better options than JJ tubes. I would choose Gold Lion or Electro Harmonix over JJ KT 88's | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? If I were the OP I would look for a used preamp. A BAT VK 90t, Audio Research REF 6SE, or a Conrad Johnson GAT | |

| Validation hmmm quite the loaded question here.... But I will bite. I think there is no harm in comparing systems In the proper context. How much did person A spend to get the sound reproduction that they wanted? I have heard systems that retailed for ... | |
| New vs old Magnepan models I agree with Johnto, I have my 3.7i in a space similar space and they are fantastic.... | |
| Leave it on? I feel it is up to each individual to decide what they feel comfortable with. I have a streamer which stays on all the time (I restart it periodically as it is a computer after all). My Transport stays on all the time... My DAC stays on all the ... | |
| Do you love the new AG Restrictions on communicating with all sellers al the time? Do I love it? No absolutely not. I am a bit old fashioned. I like to chat and talk to the person I am buying something from over the phone. Do I understand it! Absolutely. Audiogon DOES provide a service. It gives Audiophiles a site to se... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile I mostly dabbled into mid Fi gear until I took the plunge and purchased a Conrad Johnson Premier 11a. The tube magic hit me and I have been hooked ever since!! |
