| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) 50% off of new gear within a couple years speaks to how overpriced this stuff is. $50,000 set of speakers going for $25,000 is ridiculous after two years. Realistically, your $50k retail speakers are worth $25k the minute the delivery guys pack... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @chervokas Thanks, very interesting, I did not know that. our ears and our brains are breaking down incoming complex waveforms into their component frequencies very much like an FFT, and, further, actually converting them into binary-like neur... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. One thing everyone can agree on about ASR is that they should really ditch the panther. Odd that they haven't been sued. | |
| Has it all been worth it? Where the listening chair intersects with the analyst's couch | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? The sound-quality range, if you will, of digital audio is far more narrow than analog audio's, and it continues to narrow down. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Harboring unreasonable price expectations is definitely a problem. Platforms are clogged with six-month-old or year-old or even older listings like overflowing toilets. Meanwhile, listings that are priced competitively still sell within a couple... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) One great thing about Google is how it dredges up ads for long-since-sold gear. Not infrequently, you see circa-2000 gear commanding less money in 2010 (when it was 10 years old) than the ask today, at 25 years old, in 2025. Is it possible that ... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? @inna please do speak French! Tekton c'est de la merde 😂😂🤣 | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Maybe seeing tekton mentioned is good luck, like stepping on a turd. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @samureyex I stand corrected | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Pure copper makes an excellent spade connector | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Erin has stated he cannot hear a difference between amplifiers, does not mean there’s no difference. @samureyex Only an imbecile would state that they cannot hear a difference between amplifiers, and Erin is not an imbecile. It is therefore d... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Australia’s top drop is around $1,000 a bottle and we get peeved when others, flaunting their affluence, mix it with coke. When it won a prestigious French competition, it was disqualified because it was so good, it just had to be French (in the... | |
| any members in Montana Sometimes I will watch something simply because I am fascinated by how bad it is Same here! 🤣 | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @audition__audio A couple years back, Amir was said to have Mark Levinson monoblocks driving Revel Salon 2s in his personal system. I haven't seen a picture so I can't comment on positioning etc. But I wouldn't be ashamed to have that gear in ... |
