| DAC Comparison - Aurender A200 vs McIntosh C2600 I have an N200 and didn’t go with any built in DACs in any of my hardware (I use a PS Audio DAC), the reason I don’t use a built in DAC is that they are still improving them and this way I can swamp out the DAC without having to replace any other ... | |
| Thinking About Selling and Replacing My Pop/Rock Vinyl Collection Not exactly like you, but I sold all my records back in the 90’s and regret selling a few of my favorites which I have been buying back, sometimes at high prices, dire straits being one of them. However, records are a pain compared to streaming ... | |
| Power Regenerator or Conditioner for Digital Sources I have an Aurender N200 and use a power conditioner, it made as small difference. | |
| 10 iconic TT Loved this, you should do one on cartridges. | |
| Restored Dual vs. Restored Technics Only my opinion, but unless you are going to start collecting or take the chance of not liking the Dual, I’d skip Dual. | |
| Synergistic Purple Fuse - Aftet 1 Year of Use Yes, thanks for the real life review. I’m been debating switching. | |
| Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching. I asked the same question a while back as my dealer was insisting that my mix of cables would not sound as good as his very expensive loom of cables. The consensus I received was the quality was the same is important and that the same manufacturer... | |
| Need help with phono cartridge selection The Denon in my opinion. Although that table was made back then for cartridges like Shure, Stanton and Audio Technica, so the AT models should be good also. I always thought the AT carts were a bit tilted brighter - if you like that or your speake... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? I sold crappy speakers back in the 1970's on the east coast near NYC. I can't remember all the brands, but the BSR speakers come to mind, and then BOSE came out with a low end line (not to say that their main line 301, 501, 601, 901's sounded any ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Many of the negative comments remind me of the comments made about Joni, Dylan, and even Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue! Stop being old cranky MEN and open your mind…. Is she writing music like Mozart? No. Does she sing like Stills? No. But then nei... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns I agree with you overall, for instance, your food analogy is a good one. But sometimes you have to try something 3-4 times to learn to enjoy it. Wine is a good example. Some people don't like wine, but when asked, they'll say "Well I... | |
| Are You a Swifty? She's a good singer, entertainer and a very good song writer. Plus listening to her makes me cool again for my neices and newphews. Some people here only like 'their' kind of music, which is why rap, and other forms of music, like taylor Swift ge... | |
| Am I right for this forum? I started my music journey listening to a mono table top radio in the basement, for well under $30. It took me at least 30 years to get above $3,000. But it's the music I heard on that mono set that counted. The music is still number one, and in y... | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) I have owned the PS Directstream MK1 for over four years, and I could and would upgrade if I found there was something much better, but the only one I heard that was much better was over $20K, and that's not gonna happen. So I'd say for $1800 you ... | |
| LoJack for audio equipment? No need for a lojack, you can buy an Apple tracker (there are other cheaper alternatives out there). I have one in my car and another inside one of my guitars. I never thought about puting it in any of my stereo equiptment. l'm not that worried, b... |
