| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? First you ask, "do I still need a CD transport" and then you ask, "is there any point in considering upgrading" the transport. Those are two different questions. Even with CDs ripped to a streamer or NAS, I think it’s still convenient to keep a CD... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II oldaudiophile The KLAudio certainly seems like a fantastic bespoke US record cleaning machine. However, given its size and operational footprint, seems like it's better suited to a more industrial approach (i.e. more sustained, lengthie... | |
| Dynamic Range - the golden key to music nirvana? mijostyn In short sir, I have no idea what you are talking about other than a unique personal experience that has little bearing on the rest of us. It isn’t clear what your issue is, or to what experience of mine you refer, because you don’t s... | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers newbee ... how much of that appeal is really important if you have short runs and no noise issues ... The OP will give up 6 dB of s/n if he uses the single-ended connections. That's why I don't see the wisdom of buying balanced electronics... | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers Yes, you could run it that way. But part of the appeal of most ARC amps and preamps is the fully balanced differential circuitry. You're not getting maximum performance from them if you don't take advantage of that. You might want to consider the... | |
| Why on earth? I've pondered the same thing. And on top of it all, YT videos use lossy compression. Yet some still insist the videos allow them to "hear differences" and that they can make judgments based on that. It makes no sense to me. | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? emergingsoul I don’t follow why warranty service would get priority by repair centers. Because it’s part of earning authorized status, which is a source of business. Truth is it’s a very low profit business compared to other repair work. H... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? emergingsoul ... mcintosh says best to go to a service center ...They don’t like to be in the servicing business that’s why they have a net work. Nonsense. I’ve done business with McIntosh and the company delivers excellent service. Mac’s serv... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? jimmy2615 I just sent a preamp and amp to Bryston - in warranty - and it took over 3 months. That is very odd. Bryston serviced my 4B out-of-warranty amplifier and turned in around in about two weeks. What model preamp and amplifier requi... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? dinov Just had a C28 and a MC30 repaired by Audio Classics and in both cases it took 4 months. I know that’s vintage gear ... Correct. McIntosh, as with most audio manufacturers, gives priority to warranty repairs. So far, no one in this t... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? The OP has still not identified a single audio component manufacturer with a two-month warranty repair time. So it looks like his claim is just BS. | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time fredrik222 ... if 0% of people who know how the technology works say they can’t hear a difference, and about 50% of people who don’t know anything about the technology hear a difference, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn, there is n... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? emergingsoul Audio research 6 month if I am correct. You are not correct. ARC is promptly servicing warranty work. Out-of-warranty work at ARC does have a long wait. emergingsoul The manufacturers are saying not to bring it back to the... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? Three months for warranty work is very slow. Who's offering that? | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? 1extreme I have some friends who are fundamentalist Christians ... don’t try to convince them otherwise with science because I know they are happier with their beliefs even though I know it is complete nonsense. It looks like some of the m... |
