So, I bought a Chord Hugo TT2...now what?
audphile1 I can probably name at least 10 components in the last 10 years that I wanted out of my system faster ... I've heard of audiophiles such as yourself - they apparently enjoy connecting and disconnecting equipment and experimenting and... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
unreceivedogma Trust me on this one: I know far more about the 1st Amendment, Public Forum Doctrine etc than you likely ever will ... Let’s see how long it takes for Tammy to pull this down. You seem confused. This forum is about audio and... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
unreceivedogma I stopped believing in the Catholic Church at age 9. I stopped believing in God at age 13. Do you really think that I’m going to genuflect in The Church of Audio ... I wonder if this offends Tammy and whomever in this crowd je... 
No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?
rooze I think 'consumer reviews' means reviews for the consumer not specifically 'reviews by a consumer', so professional reviewers generate consumer reviews and are affected by the ruling ... There's nothing to suggest your interpretation ... 
No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?
rooze ... the ruling also includes provisions that protect reviewers from retaliation by manufacturers, per Erin, Tekton, the Goldensound guy ... The ruling applies to "consumer reviews," so presumably "professional" reviewers such as the YouT... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
incorrigable Streaming is the nexus between wealth and luck in America. You need the luck of access to hard wired fiber optic service ... If we’re talking about streaming audio, that’s simply mistaken. Hi-res audio such as Qobuz needs no b...

It looks that many of you are expecting too much from this FTC ruling. For the most part, it applies to "consumer reviews." Those are reviews written by consumers, not by ostensibly "professional’ reviewers that would be writing for a real publica... 
Connectivity Issue with McIntosh C2800 and MX121 – No Sound in Front Channels
vinylnostalgic ... Any further suggestions on how to resolve this issue ... Ask your local dealer. Most Mac dealers are very helpful.  
Bryston Service A-1
  the Aurender must have been really bad… I know many praise Aurender, but my experience was not good. They had one support guy ("Ari") whose "solutions" to problems showed he hadn't bothered to read the remedies I'd already tried. Audio shoul... 
Bryston Service A-1
I dumped my Aurender in favor of the BDP3, which has been much more stable and reliable.  
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
rauliruegas ... AR, VAC and MAC use SUTs ( passive not active designs. ) ... You're mistaken. There's no SUT in my ARC Ref Phono 2SE. It uses an FET on the MC input. I'm pretty sure this is common on ARC phono preamps.  
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
kinarow1 ... I'm looking to vastly improve my system with a complete cable upgrade ... I think cables can make a difference - even a big difference. But I would not expect a cable upgrade to "vastly improve my system."  
The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate?
That's pretty funny.  
SME 3009 II (improved) won't balance with Shure V15 III
dcindc Does anyone here know a lot about these SME arms? Even though the guy at SME tells me this is not the original weight, I'm not seeing any mention anywhere online of this arm coming with a lighter weight. The explanation you received fr... 
Is there a way to stream You-Tube music into a digital amp?
freediver For all the whining your going to get about the poor quality of uTubes lossy format,there is just too much awesome music there you can’t find on the mainstream services to pass them up ... I’m not sure it’s "whining" to point out tha...
