| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? audio2design ... double blind ABX testing is considered the gold standard ...Not everyone shares your measurementalist’s belief that ABX is the "gold standard" for evaluating audio equipment. Not even close. It appears that really upsets you.That... | |
| Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning I've never used an Audio Desk but I do have a Klaudio US machine, which I think is terrific. As an FYI, Klaudio recommends that its machine be used only with distilled water. That has worked very well for me and I've never seen a need for using an... | |
| McIntosh vs Accuphase? decathlon1991 Wait! Is this you praising McIntosh gear but attacking my personal experiences with Moon or any other product I’ve actually owned in the past? ...I haven't attacked you for anything. Perhaps you are confused.Do you do this with... | |
| Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT? mglik OPAtma-Sphere used to make a modified Empire TT in a very heavy metal plinth. Ralph said that the best design uses a very heavy plinth. Think he still uses this DD TT.I’m pretty sure all of the Empire ’tables were belt drive. | |
| McIntosh vs Accuphase? decathlon1991I have the McIntosh MC2301 Monoblock amplifiers. I seriously doubt that Accuphase will top that in sound quality. If you think so, please provide proof.Don't be silly. First, no one here owes you proof of anything, just as I'm no... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... rsure... the downside of losing everything if something goes wrong is a huge negative, at least for me ...Same here. That’s one reason I buy separates.It shouldn’t be rocket science to find an amplifier well-suited to any given speaker. If that’s... | |
| Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already? midareff1... a decade ago a dealer told me NOS was anything that still tested OK, and NIB was anything that tested OK in any box.NOS = New Old StockNIB = New In BoxUsed ≠ New Old StockUsed ≠ New In Box | |
| How can music be sad? Like most real art, music is pretty much a universal language, even though there are of course cultural variations. Music doesn’t even need lyrics to sound sad, e.g. Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slave.If you’re interested in this topic you’ll probably enj... | |
| Teach me about cartridge 'retipping' I’ve never understood the reasons for objecting so strongly to a cartridge re-tip. My experience is limited. I had an old Monster Cable Sigma Genesis 2000 LOMC that was my favorite cartridge of all time. It is also the only cartridge in all my yea... | |
| Reel to Reel information, user tips and tricks... oldhvymecYes I'll be recording, I like RtR format, always did.What do you plan to record? | |
| Music streamers lalitkSorry to hear about your experience with AurenderThanks @lalitk but it’s OK. It’s just an appliance.... and it appears you’re still pretty miffed about it ...Oh no, not at all. I was never "miffed" about it, just disappointed. Stuff happens.... | |
| Music streamers solarjamcleeds-- I have no doubt you had problems with your Aurender .Every manufacturer has a lemon once in a while.Quite so, no doubt. My issues with the Aurender were only in part the actual product - which I do not think was a lemon - but also... | |
| Music streamers lalitkIf you can stretch your budget, get the N100H and call it a day.Buying that Aurender was one of the few major blunders I’ve made as an audiophile. I dumped it after less than a year and would never consider an Aurender product again. The N10... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! mijostynWow, cleeds, sir what planet are you living on.Ignorance and snark are a bad combination, @mijostyn, and it didn’t turn out well for you last time you tried to engage me as your foil. I’ve already answered all of your questions about recor... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! daveyf What's a clean record? To some, it is one cleaned with, ahem, break fluid ...It is odd that the one guy here who cleans LPs with brake fluid insists he doesn't need a record cleaner. Maybe he's right! |
