| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? While I agree with AudioTroy, that only defines our true hobby’s goals in one dimension. The truth is an answer that is personal to each of us. Achieving the high end for me, as a 65 year hobbyist, was the first time I was truly thrilled by the ... | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... Hey saugertiesbob, I own a pair of those really fine B&W subs and paid my excellent dealer 10% off of retail. My system is low six figures, most bought at high discount. The room compensation software is world class and those subs may be the... | |
| Cable Quandary It is probably your room or speaker placement. My Wilson speakers always seemed a tiny bit louder from the left channel. No one complained, but I could hear it. If I positioned my self slightly right in the chair it largely went away. I have a... | |
| How old is too old? I had a Marantz SA7 S1 SACD/CD player that was excellent... until the mechanical drive quit. Nobody wanted to fix it... not sure any parts were available. The new version of the Marantz SA10 series was about $14K as I recall. Just too expensive... | |

| Chair Ekornes Stressless recliner and ottoman… there’s a reason why they are relatively expensive. Extremely high quality. I buy them in pairs for my wife and I. We are on our fourth set, top of the line now. They wear like iron. Thick, full grain ... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup To my own amazement, 95% new. Including some dealer demos sent back to MFG for refurb and came back basically new with packaging. All purchased at significant discounts and with substantial trade in discounts. I've built up a low six figure syst... | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community Hey freediver... I'm in my eighties with tinnitus for 60 years and will take that listening challenge. It's not that you can't hear the difference, it's that you've already decided and so the difference to you is too small to care about. To me t... | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal If there is not profit to be made, why would any company continue? Is mylogic willing to personally pay to keep a losing business alive? Businesses are acquired usually because the price is low due to an ineffective business strategy or mis-ma... | |
| Help! Pre amp turning on by itself. My dCS Bartok comes on without fail from it's warmed up quiet state every time there's a power surge or temporary outage. Had any surges lately? | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal To repeat... Harman has done a great job with Roon. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday The app passes the Qobuz music via your streamer to your audio system. The app is controlled by your iPad separately and has no effect on the music stream or it's quality. And, Roon playing Qobuz sounds great. I use their Nucleus streamer and a... | |
| Audioquest Water interconnects Moon Audio has some apparently good sounding, well constructed IC cables at good prices as well. Mine are AQ Thunderbird and Wireworld Platinum but both are not budget friendly. If you are going to stretch, the AQ top three or four power cords a... | |
| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? My preamp is Conrad-Johnson's top model the ART88. It came brand new from the factory with four Phillips NOS ECC88's. I read in a HiFI+ review that you could replace the "made for TVs" NOS tubes with EH6922 Golds for a nice increase in sound qua... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Hey Eric... thanks for the great little essay on a vitally important subject. Not the anyone cares but I like meatloaf as long as it's not too greasy. A delicacy indeed. Beer is great as long as it's beer and has a good bit of flavor, not IPA o... |
