| Snake oil?? glupsonThe only thing I am not sure about is how adept is mijostyn at figuring out your data from an e-mail address.Mijostyn has a history of stalking on this site - he was once suspended for it - and that's all I need to know about him. | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? audioquest4lifeI believe he is the only American making handcrafted cartridges in the United States.Nope. There's Steve at VAS. As with Peter, he's a nice guy. | |
| Suddenly...one third of my tracks are 'unavailable' using Qobuz wgs57 ... my favourite playlist I created using Qobuz and suddenly 20 tracks out of the 63 tracks I have added is now unavailable? I guess Qobuz is like popular video streaming services where movies come and go ...I have not found that to be... | |
| Snake oil?? glupsonIt does not seem that anyone was asking for it anyway.I think most reasonable people would consider @mijostyn's statement, "Get me an address and I will mail you a picture" as a request for personal information. Of course you may feel di... | |
| Snake oil?? mijostynCleeds, would you like to see my professional jewelry? Get me an address and I will mail you a picture.No, I definitely don't want to see any of your "jewelry" and certainly am not going to provide you with any of my personal information. | |
| Snake oil?? mijostyn... BS is flying again and 68pete is hallucinating ...It’s odd that you claim to be a physician, and then so casually pronounce medical diagnoses here on this site. It seems that those with whom you disagree are targeted for those declarat... | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia There is this announcement, which looks rather legitimate. | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! dave_b Fun fact...most equipment cuts off at 20khzThat's completely mistaken, unless you confine your remark to CD players only. Most good amplifiers, preamps, DACs and other components will easily sail far beyond 20K. Preserving HF helps maintai... | |
| Blown tube issue jasonbourne52Manley and other tube amp companies should always provide information for proper bias adjustment.They do.Tube amps do need this done when output tubes are changed.A cathode-biased tube amplifier may also require periodic re-biasing a... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well jasonbourne52 In controlled A/B tests nobody can distinguish a $100 DAC from a $1000+ one.Please tell us about the tests you’ve conducted that led you to this conclusion. I’m also interested in why you confined your efforts to simple A/B tests. Fo... | |
| Looking for my "last" CD transport I agree with @chayro and suggest you avoid used transports. Repair of older units can be impossible because of parts unavailability or - when parts are available - can sometimes be quite expensive. Please don't ask me how I know that. | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All millercarbonCredentialism is bunk. All a degree means is you know all the same stuff everyone else ...It’s worse than that. Here, most users post anonymously, which is their prerogative. But that also means there’s no way to verify anyone’s creden... | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? patrickorlandoWhat's up with this unhappiness with HD ? Is there some technical reason that it is not much better than plain FM ?As implemented in the US, HD radio uses lo-res lossy compression. So while it can be quiet just like all digital, ... | |
| Chicago Transit Authority This is a fantastic album and one of my absolute favorites. I have several different pressings of it (including the Rhino) but the best hands-down is MFSL, imo. | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts mijostynThe lay audiophile does not have access to this kind of equipment thus is flying blind. It is easy enough to build AB switch boxes. I'm surprised nobody sells them.They are available from multiple vendors. Van Alstine's has been one of... |
