| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Oh, you'll be surprised...there are enough dudes who take out loans or whatever to buy things....he justifies it as financing a truck, a raptor or whatever else. I've even refused to sell something to a dude or two in the past when i figured out ... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Stuff with a msrp of 10k or under, more buyers...even 60 to 70 % of msrp can probably be considered a good deal for the used goods shopper. (frankly, there’s not enough of a margin built-in on many items) Stuff with a msrp of 50k or above (enormo... | |
| Has it all been worth it? There is no single best sound, for which you have to keep selling and buying to the top. It doesn’t exist. This is maybe the biggest audiophile trap, that gets sped up by the sales guys. Fact of the matter is, there are many different types of go... | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? @tomic601 imo, the e1tx floorstander is the sweet spot for tad w.r.t bang 4 buck. I had the original reference og from Andrew in the past for quite a while, but, sold it to finance other things. If you put some effort into incorporating subs with ... | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? I have a ns5000 too. Yamaha has well moved on from beryllium. All their current audiophile speakers are zylon (their non-toxic in-house developed stuff). Beryllium lovers may have to go to other "high end" names for a healthy whiff of Beryllium. ... | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? Interesting fact that Yamaha was the godfather of beryllium tooling, driver dev/fab way back in the early 70s, but, apparently they are not "high end" enough for the ’elusive’ audiophile. All these "high end" names have been leeching with it since... | |
| Svs sb17-ultra for music Absolutely not a joke.. It was designed for music (and movies too)... I currently have a pair...very different design ethos, gets down below 20 hz, sounds nothing like the crap ported subs you may have heard. On the same note, it is not your regu... | |
| Does USB cable length make a diference? Separates Separates Separates Every power supply, board, capacitor, knobs, etc in its own box. Your streamer should be made of 50 different boxes strung together with audiophily wire. When you have 500 different boxes to play a song, you will get... | |
| Does USB cable length make a diference? Any length cable is a bad cable.....should have bought a streamer dac all in one box with optimized short signal paths. But, some audiophily dude probably told you separates, separates, separates is the way to go for Xtra credit and respect in re... | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC Doge is a great dac.... strange that it doesn’t get too much mention here, considering there are many tubey dudes on this forum. | |

| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring The best speaker designers on earth themselves are quite humble, constantly learning and revising things. So, Peter and his speaker are not set in stone. Peter himself may have a lot more to learn like other designers. So, you can go to town with ... | |
| The "young people' music thread - Artists younger than 40 years old @slaw , I like Courtney Barnett, thanks man...discovered her initially through Kurt Vile, but, she'd fallen off my radar somehow. Sarah Shook and The Disarmers Amy and The Sniffers Courtney Barnett | |
| Svs sb17-ultra for music Here is the right type of subwoofer for your speaker. Tekton C sub https://tektondesign.com/product/subwoofers/cinema-sub/#color | |
| Guidance Dyne audio lifestyle speaker designed for WAF (undersized cabinet, lackluster drivers, etc) isn’t the right speaker to address such deficiencies. You could sell it and get mofi 888 + rythmik f12g subwoofer or tekton epic 15 + tekton cinema sub... |
