| Schiit Audio feedback Great to hear they have awesome customer service! I have three pieces of Schiit and so far no issues, but good to hear that they really stand behind their Schiit. | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? Another example is the people in camera groups posting photos on Facebook and talking about the "sharpness" of a lens when Facebook so horribly reduces/destroys the quality and detail of photos to reduce file size, so no way to really evaluate in ... | |
| Build a Faraday cage around your equipment. Most pieces of electronic equipment that has a metal outer case or cabinet already has the principles and all the protection of a Faraday cage. There is no problem to solve here. There is nothing in your home that will be affecting that gear that ... | |
| Probably a dumb question Not only are you looking for uncommon brands, assume the production on such may be very limited and the owners may keep the units for a very long time or never sell. | |
| Broken banana plug and stuck in amplifier I have had the same happen and have used drill bits, easy-out screw extractors, and plain old screws. All work when used with care and having a pair of small needle nose pliers is always good. | |
| How rare is an audiophile Audiophiles of any type are very rare these days. I'm 56 but when I was a young adult, almost everyone that I knew wanted to have a good stereo and collected music. As we moved along our journey some of these people stayed in the same lane, some c... | |
| The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs I'm not on a fixed income (yet) but I'm frugal, and stream Hi-Res music most of the time. The important detail is that most of the services offer different levels of quality and with actual Hi-Res audio (CD quality or better roughly) you have no n... | |
| Center Channel Dialogue As others have said, something is wrong here whether it be a setting in the processor, defect in the processor, defect in the speaker itself, speaker connection, speaker setting for how the center content is handled, etc. The center channel carrie... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs One sub is fine, two are always better. More is better in the case of subs. As others have said, multiples really can better fill out the sound stage and give a really full and balanced experience. One huge fallacy is that subs are for movies and ... | |
| Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? I really doubt any number of people (consumers who own the gear) are "dumping" gear because there is something going on with the manufacturer. Normal people don't follow such things about the companies they have bought gear from and would never ca... | |
| Ripping CD's +1 for Exact Audio Copy and also +1 for DB Poweramp. Both are really good, and for some people the fee is worth it to use DB Poweramp. Currently using EAC to rip my collection. Once you create the hi-res files just put them on any media you'd like... | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? The "original box" thing is overblown for most things. it is something people have made up over the years and it makes no difference in most cases. Paying storage fees means you need to think about rearranging your life instead of throwing money a... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much If you have a brick & mortar location your first job is to generate foot traffic and people willing to come in and sniff at whatever it is you are selling. That achieved, your next job is to have the sales staff to be able to actually be sales... | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. If you spend enough money you can get around the principles and physics of electrical systems. They clearly know that rule. I wouldn't pay any more than $450k for that garbage. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? There are no laws for pricing products. Manufacturers must establish what they think they need to run the business, and then what kind of profit the product might drive. Do these products have some type of exclusive patented technology? Maybe some... |
