| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @noromance 1994 not vintage? Tell that to my 12 year old neice! She has a hard time comprehending why people would type directly onto paper and telephones with cords? How about CRT TV's with 19 inch screens, oh and with cords too! I remember show... | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @noromance I'd agree that most of the japanese 1970-80's stuff is mid-fi at best. What I meant by vintage was anything before the 1990's, and not just tubes. Since antiques start at 30 years, I beleive the same would apply to audio equipment. A... | |

| Stuff You Tried To Love I always wanted McIntosh stuff from when I way back in college (the 1970's), finally had the house and the money to get an amp and pre (sometime in the early 2000's) and never liked them. I thgough it was me or my other equipment, but nothing made... | |
| Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing Try springs under the sub. Much better then other forms of pucks, etc. You can find decent ones on eBay (Preffair is the brand I have), although you can also find "High Quality" ones for 10 times more money. I used them under my Velodyne and now... | |
| Aurender N200 vs N100H Altrhough I did not listen to all the aurender models, I choose the N200 as the best choice between features, sound quality and price. I am very happy with it and see no reason to upgrade to a different model. I use a PS Audio V1 DAC. | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @moto_man I had that Phillips turntable. Loved it. Besides the cool lighted buttons, the arm on it was actually pretty good. Although, once the electrics went on it, it was not worth fixing. I had a friend who had the Phase Linear stuff back in ... | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. 1200.00 would be a big improvement. Nothing against MM, I had them for many years and they sounded fine. But mc just pulled more music from my vinyl. A warning, the sound difference between mc and mm is different, some like it, some don’t. So “... | |
| Looking for software or website details inside......... Plenty of text translation software, but I have never heard of any that can translate a song while it’s playing, if that is what you mean. I am sure it could happen in the next year or two with AI, but only if there is a need/demand for it. | |
| Jack White cover Jason is fantastic, but this is a great cover. | |
| Building your music digital music collection Guess I’m the odd man out. I ripped my CD library (probably 1,000), ripped a few albums that are not available anywhere. I have aurrender n200, I tried Q, but felt my ripped sounded better, plus, I always have music. I use the Aurender for streami... | |
| Bottleneck / Upgrade Recommendations - Yamaha RVX-475 Receiver, Pro-Ject Phono Box MM I would agree your receiver is the first thing to upgrade. More/better power, better phono input (critical before you upgrade the cartridge/turntable ), more inputs. If surround sound isn't a goal, then I'd really recomend an integrated Amp. Unles... | |
| Cd recorder continuation Why are you still burning CD's? Not judging you or anyone, I just want to know why. I went digital years ago (both streaming and storing music on a Blusound, and now upgraded to an Aurrender, and have never looked back. No more storing CD's, worr... | |
| Best Covers @dekay Love it! I figured it would be an instrumental version of Smoke on the Water. The vocals are amazing. Made my night. | |
| Is My McIntosh C52 Pre-amp The Weak Link? @soix is correct. @jastralfu makes a very good point I would suggest having a stand-alone DAC also. You're just swaping out your issue (The C52 having a built in DAC) with a new issue (having the DAC built into the Streamer). I am not a bi... |
