| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Reading this thread reminds me of the racism, xenophobia and gingoism of other times in American history. It also may explain how China (and many of the Others) will continue eating our lunch until the shrinking generations of haters’ offspring fr... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? Happy Node2i user here. Lots of good notes in this discussion but I would highly recommend you insure that you’ve heard everything it can do. I was thinking about Chord and Shiit and all those but I wanted to give the Node2i a fighting chance. Thi... | |
| What does 'cold' mean? What does 'warm' mean? No problem here.My favorite simile comes from an old friend who worked with me in a tiny hiend store in the 70's. We were listening to a Miracord TT (changer) with a Shure cartridge, MAC C28, MAC2105 all driving 4 ESS AMT's in a "wall" of sound co... | |
| How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer? Yeah, akdm I think OVERTURE can kiss that franchise goodbye! What I wonder is: what motivated any Mac dealer to take 20% off within the first 20 minutes. I worked in some of the biggest Mac dealers in the country and know that NO retailer does t... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? A relative who recently auditioned my system (a Maggie owner!) decided, after some discussion that I was "merely" listening to equipment and not to music. I was dumbfounded and could only reply: "Something wrong with that?" Crickets! Back in the d... | |
| Any Bluesound Node2 owners +1 for anyone advocating ethernet over wifi. It's not unlike what I imagine a new DAC would do. Of course, it's all dependent upon you, your gear, etc., but do not ignore this very audible improvement. I'm quite satisfied with the analogue output ... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I use a Node 2i and have had no problems. One bit of advice to anyone still on wifi: dump it! The sooner you move your gear to ethernet, the sooner your system will get up to speed and make everything sound faster--except the noise! | |
| What In The World Is Going On? The last thing any retailer wants is to head into a recession (depression?) with a warehouse full of merchandise. So the whole supply chain begins to shut down. The major hi-end retailer in my town has a nice online catalogue that shows almost not... | |
| Acoustic Revive RR-77, 777, 888 Schumann Generator At Mahgister's suggestion, I added two Schumann generators about a year ago. They are supposed to affect the listener, not the sound. I do notice a "settled" atmosphere in my room that takes on a level of higher tension when I turn them off. I als... | |

| Are Shakti Stones effective? georgehifi: "So those companies recruit very carefully so they are not implicated for fraud with their snake oil, that why you NEVER see them or their staff spruiking their voodoo snake oil rubbish to the gullible here on these pages."Care to iden... | |
| Are Shakti Stones effective? A 1’ thick slab of concrete from Home Depot does the CD trick for me. Getting ready to try those springey things from China. Will report. I am an admitted happy user of Shungite, which I assume is what Shakti stones are made from. I went thru some... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D If it’s OK for you, it’s OK with me, but not FOR me. Class D is everywhere and will continue to coexist with the rest of the alphabet. I have some old Emotiva Class D amps in my surround sound system. When I use the room-EQ gadgets on my surround ... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? Simple idea: What can you buy for $1300 that would suit your needs better? Or are you upgrading so that you can sell it for more as a used amp? You haven't listened to it for 2 years, so why not sell it as is and use the $1300 to go to Sandals? |
