| ***Seasons Greetings A'goners***Are You Getting Any New Gear For Christmas*** None for me. I'm in the middle of moving house. But Merry Christmas to everyone out in A'gon land. | |
| Cable supports on the cheap... Yes. Pretty much everyone I would suspect.... I mean, if you're willing to try to elevate the cables, just about anything would work. I know Danny at GR Research has mentioned using kids' Tinkertoys. Not sure how that would look, but again, I ima... | |
| Rediscovery I'm a CD guy, through and through. I use streaming to find "new" music (new to me, anyway), and if I like what I find, I usually buy the CD (or SACD). My kids make fun of me, but it has been my experience that CDs usually have better sound qualit... | |
| Have At Err! OCD Mikey is OK, but the subversive sales pitch is kind of a turn off. He doesn't do a very good job of describing how his cables actually "flavor" the sound. | |
| What news in 2023 struck you? I was struck by the stupidity of the Mofi LP recording debacle, and the subsequent lawsuit settlement. | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? @knotscott , sure thing. 😉 | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? If you put your multimeter leads on the ends of the hot dog, there is clearly no measurable difference between ketchup and kraut, or mustard and onion, therefore there can be no scientific difference in how they taste. (that was a joke, folks)... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @scottwheel , if you truly want to learn something, perhaps you should stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room and listen to what others are telling you. Have a nice day. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I just love it when someone tells me what I can and cannot hear in my system. @scottwheel , give it a rest, eh? Someday you'll look back on this and realize how foolish you sound. Don't like expensive cables? Don't buy any. Want to hang with t... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Another decent thread on A'gon derailed by a couple of wanna-be, butt-hurt, know-it-all pseudo-scientists. Please see my first response to this thread on page 1. | |
| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? I don't know about "final", but I am happy with what I have and don't see changing anything in the foreseeable future. Main equipment: Classe CP800 preamp Classe CA2200 amp Emerald Physics 2.8 OB speakers Rythmik G22 Dual-opposed 12" sub Yam... | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 @roxy54 , the OP mentions a CT-2300. It's pretty beefy. | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 I'm partial to Classe. Overbuilt with oodles of power. Weighs in at around 100lbs. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Oh, come on already. I'm at the point where I refuse to deal with anyone who says they can't hear a difference in cables, power cords, fuses, etc... Of course they do. It's the same old thing, over and over and over and over. | |
| What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay I just looked it up and from what I can tell it is 6.5% + broker agent fees. |
