| Is there a reason why type 3 tapes didn’t catch on? I was in the audio business back then. They were very expensive compared to everything else and then Metal tapes came out soon after, which if you were going for the best sound for cassettes and pay good money for them, you'd just go for the metal... | |
| Budget External DAC Recommendations I have the Vault2 and upgraded to an outboard DAC to one of the higher-end PS Audio DACs. Well worth it. I would say in my opinion, spending $4-500 might get you a little improvement, as again, the Bluesound DAC isn't bad. But I'd suggest holding... | |
| Does music give you longevity? As long as you stay away from Audio Forums, you'll live a long, long time. | |
| How important is it to have identical speaker cable length? Just make sure they are the same color.... | |
| Stem Player I’ll believe it when I hear it. Although there is already various software that can do that, it’s not very good with lots of cross talk. If he can fund-build one with no cross-talk between instruments, and also voices, that would be a game changer... | |
| surround processor? I have a 5.1 channel MC-12 I no longer use. I’ve been meaning to post and sell it. I loved it for surround sound, nothing close to it, very flexible, an amazing pre-amp for that use. Matches well with any high quality amp. 2-channel was good, but ... | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps I have SS Luxman components and have the Harbeth 30.2, if you don’t want another speaker with similar sound as Harbeth, like the P3s, try Totem bookshelf’s. I still have the older Rainmakers and they are “faster/punchier” in their sound then the H... | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? Midnight at the Oasis - Maria Muldaur....Number 6 in 1973. | |
| Another must have for all you McIntosh Fanboys! I'd get it for $18.00, not $1800! Of course, you'd have to spend another $2K to get a power conditioner and isolation pucks..... | |
| replace Mcintosh with Luxman I owned a Mcintosh amp/pre amp and moved to Luxman, the components were their AVR products, so as everyone will tell you, AVR stuff never sounds as good as dedicated 2 channel. That said, I am much happier with the sound of my 590AXll then I ever ... | |
| Casters to replace spikes Just an opinion, but I would buy short casters, screw them into a very thick maple “cutting board” type wood plank and then spike the speakers to the board. Maybe even use 5 casters on each board (one in the middle). I do not know if any “audiophi... | |

| Should I try XLR? @ryder I own the 590 also and switched to XLR’s to my DAC. The main reason I did so as I have little room between cables behind my equipment and felt the added isolation might help. It did. | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? redwoodaudio Ha! A CD is just like a LP record, but it's smaller and silver. Hope that helps. Next will be my too simple answer to 'What is an 8-Track..."Back to the discussion, I have kept many of my CD's, for both backup and fond memories, mu... | |
