| RIP oregonpapa Oh how very sad. My thoughts go out to his family, He will definitely be missed. JD | |
| Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!! And a Merry Christmas to oldhvymec and his family, including his chickens, ducks, turkeys and whatever the heck else he’s running naked with 😜 JD | |
| Has anyone tried Napster? Lol, All of my first thoughts. They say that they stream in 320MP3 and have millions of tunes. But like reubent said, I don’t click on unsolicited texts and I hope she doesn’t either. JD | |
| Not manufactured any more. Oh and oldhvymec, What a fun thread! JD | |
| Not manufactured any more. yogiboy, you beat me to it. The DQ10’s with a couple of Hafler amps bridged mono! I did some mods to them, like replacing the tweeters with Decca ribbon tweeters and I replaced most of the caps in the crossovers. Yeah, I do miss them. JD | |
| NORDOST SORT FUT VS. ISOACOUSTICS GAIA Critical Mass Doesn’t seem to have isolation feet for speakers or if they do, I missed them. The only thing bad about Gaia’s I’ve heard is the price and that you also have to buy their carpet spikes if you have a carpeted floor. Sorry, I haven’t... | |
| IS there such an animal? I have an Oppo and it plays everything! I’m using an external dac these days, but everything still works as it should. JD | |
| Choosing the right equipment It takes a special Dad to sell a hobby for his children and it takes some special kids, to want to repay him! If you cruise the Thrift stores, anything is possible. Over the years I’ve found turntables, integrated amps and speakers. All the bes... | |

| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? When I can get both of my speakers to disapear, I’ll know I have it right. For some reason my right side is slightly louder than the left. | |
| Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes I wouldn’t do it, but MC has a good idea with using PP Friends and Family. All the best. JD | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? @ozzy62 what are you running to your Pontus ll as your digital input? I’m looking for a new CD transport? All the best. JD | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? OP, I have had a Schiit Bifrost for a few years and it sounds good. I bought a Hegel H390 and the built in DAC sounds every bit as good as the Bifrost. I just bought a Denafrips Pontus ll and it blows both other DAC’s out it the water. Is it the d... | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. Thank you for the review. My old Sony is starting to get flaky and I was looking at the Pro-Ject as a possible replacement. Now to find a replacement. All the best. JD | |
| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's OP, I have a pair of Acousat Model X’s, that are tube powered and by their design can get loud as heck, but will never give you chest thumping bass. Acoustics, placement and the room are very very important. An example, A couple of houses ago ... |
