| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? @ghdprentice Clearly you’re a smart person and had a lot of smart people working for you. Here’s something to think about. You say noise is crucial to audio performance. Surely transmitting and storing audio data isn’t as important as the data o... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described When I sell speakers, turntables, amps, dacs, I always have the buyer show up in person with cash. I’ve done that multiple times and they have traveled over 1000 miles to pick them up, and I had the original boxes WTheck? The average buyer (i'd... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described Packing properly I believe is number one problem under 100 lbs. Over that weight you put boxes on a pallet and ship correctly and damage is at a minimum. If it’s a "delicate" component (tube amps, heavy amps with delicate knobs sticking out, et... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? Granted some of these streaming servers are overpriced. However holding up a PC and Windows as the magic answer and calling all others crappy, glitchy software uncovers a significant "knowledge gap" on your part when it comes to operating systems... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? In case y'all didn't know, all streamers are essentially SBC computers ( modded gaming itx boards, hidden away, etc). It looks to me like some of you boys are getting robbed dropping 10k, 20k, etc on such streamers by vultures taking advantage of... | |
| Dolby atmos speakers for 2 channel The Dolby atmos module is meant to receive a unique signal from a object based audio capable PreampProcessor or Receiver. It is not meant to be a stand-alone anything and is meant to create some diffuse effects, modulate the soundfield etc by work... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Our society has become this way for 2 main reasons imo.

| How good is good enough? He makes an excellent living as the head of the advanced propulsion department of Princeton University. BACCH is home s passion project. Your mischaracterization of him, his motives and his beliefs are pretty disgusting. - I was having a conver... | |
| How good is good enough? @mahgister , it is a gross misunderstanding if you think object based audio degrades timbre?! The only requirement they impose is that the drivers, crossovers, etc are identical (identical speakers are required, same as it is for stereo!) and the ... | |
| How good is good enough? @mahgister , You do know that Choueiri himself has been a big spatial/object based audio/multichannel music connesieur in real life, right? as are many other known names in industry (A Jones, J Stoddard, Levinson, etc). The truth is...he can’t get... | |
| What was the best (most impactful) piece of new equipment to hit the market in 2023? For me it wasn't a piece of equipment but rather software. I have been interested in the BACCH system for some time but I had no interest in inserting a MAC computer into my system. Their introduction of u-BACCH software for Windows corrected tha... | |
| How good is good enough? Last year, I audited a dude’s 600k-ish priced rig. He was playing some of the typical, "safe" crappy audiophile tracks to show off his rig, as one might expect. The minute my playlist intervened, his rig started to sink and reveal that it was lier... | |

| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? From a internet buyer’s perspective, keep your life real simple and don’t read too much into it....It should be a 0, 1 scenario. NEW or USED, that’s all there is.....Don’t fall for the "hardly used, less than a 100 hours, took out for pics only", ... |
