| Streamer/CD ripper I had a Rotel CD player for many years, it sounded so much better then other players on the market when I got it (early 1990's) I had 5-600 CD's when it finally died and my dealer who I trusted told me not to buy another CD player but to get a Blu... | |
| Stereophile Scamming Subscribers? @jtuba Yep -they said $18 was the new rate, I told them to cancel and it went to $9.00. I am sure magazines are the same way. Just play hard ball, they need you more then you need them. | |
| I can't believe this. I once sent a Sony separate in and after calling for 8 months and getting the run around, they finally admitted they lost it. I still believe someone there fixed it and took it home as it was a rare piece. They did reimburse me with a check, but o... | |
| Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"? I look at it this way: at what point do I hear a difference in SQ between two products. So there a multiple levels, not just three. I had a $500.00 DAC, and although the $1-3k DACs sounded different, and in some cases better, I was not really impr... | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. Waiting for Columbus - Little Feat. Can’t wait to pick up the new remastered LPs and CD set. ……And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along….. | |
| Japanese Luxman Integrated Amps I brought a used Luxman 590AXII and love it, but I brought it in the US with 120V. As @audioman58 and others stated, there is risk not just in buying it, but in selling it. I doubt you'll save any money in the short or long run. I've not heard of... | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? You are way ahead of yourself. Put your idea in writing, draft up a "business plan" that describes the product, the users for it, possible benefits, expected cost/profit. If you haven't done that and you haven't put it down your idea in a clear wr... | |
| Vintage worth the time to explore? @mulveling Yes, Grado headphones are either liked or disliked, I haven't found too many people in-between. Same with many speaker brands. I totally understand. Stax are great. Have never listened to ES, but will have to search them out. | |
| Vintage worth the time to explore? Why not open back headphones like Grado's for when you want to play it loud? If you don't want to try that, And I also second: 1) Not buying anything older then 10 years. 2) Looking for a system with a loudness button/control, or at the least t... | |
| Power conditions for Integrated Amps @erik_squires thanks for the link, very educational. | |
| Time to do house cleaning. I've been though a lot of equipment in my life, and yes, there are a few pieces I wish I never sold, but then I ask myself, what would I be doing with it? It would probably be collecting dust and taking up room. Plus, the money I made on it helped... | |
| What am I missing? "CD quality" is heading toward being the 'base quality' for digital. You can already get higher quality then CD. Spotify and others are well below CD quality. I agree with you, the Music industry doesn't want us to own music, why would they? The... | |
| Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?.. I'd tend to agree. It's always been tough to be a musician, but the last few years have been brutal....less live events, loss of places to play, harder to collaborate, harder to find people to collaborate with, finding new talent. That all adds up... | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer I had the Bluesound, good quality, it's no-hassle, very easy to install and use. Very good tech support, something many companies don't have. I used it with Qobuz and Spotify. I had to jump up the $5K range to get better sound then Bluesound. T... | |
| Where to put your best power cable? Us it on your Power amp to wall, dedicated line if possible. I learn that on my own system. |
