| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @kennyc I meant to add "Some" in front of "Audiophile switch sellers" and I never did, but you're right. Vendors like Silent Angel and those you mentioned appear to produce their own PCBs, thereby offering an original product, which is really th... | |
| Used audio market appears to be collapsing +1 @hbarrel If this forum is to be believed many folks are downsizing, presumably selling 15 or 20 used components and buying 3 or 4 brand new ones. Same deal with all the so-called "retirement" and "endgame" systems. All these folks have exite... | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? Speaking of Echo Audio, it appears the business is being or has been sold. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes Audiophile switch sellers purchase off-the-shelf switches, ditch the noisy switching mode power supply (SMPS) that came with it, repackage the switch with a small linear power supply (LPS), and sell it at a huge markup. The LPS will in fact yield... | |

| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @jsalerno277 Please forgive in advance my philosophical pontification It is more than forgiven, it is appreciated! While your response is factually incorrect as noted by others, it is thoughtful and articulate and a pleasure to read 🙏 | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @kennyc I'm confused. You give jeffbij a +1, then you apparently trash his post. Did you mean to give the +1 to another poster? | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @macg19 I would be happy with that, personally. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @gano Data center equipment is selected for high throughput, low latency and other factors including manageability and cost. Low noise isn’t one of them, and reasonably so since noise has no effect on digital data transmission. As a result switc... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes I was trying to make my original post both polite and sensitive to various points of view, but it seems I mostly tripped over my own feet. My goal, or wish if you will, would be that folks who haven’t yet had the opportunity to educate themselves... | |
| ??? How Do You Determine How Far You Can Take An Amp When Choosing Speakers ??? @freediver Sounds like your friend may have a lot of gear around? Including some hard to drive speakers perhaps? If so, you may want to advise his EE son to grab his oscilloscope and see how soon the Peachtree starts clipping when driving the h... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. Ooh here is a great documentary I totally forgot about - Mayor of the Sunset Strip (2003). It's not about specific musicians but rather the life of rock impresario and longtime KROQ DJ extraordinaire Rodney Bingenheimer. It's also a great reflect... | |
| Used audio market appears to be collapsing I would argue that busy, healthy Audiogon forums benefit Audiogon the company. They may not bring revenue, but they bring in buyers wanting to learn about gear they’re considering buying from Audiogon sellers. Conversely, many folks start here as ... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. @wharfy Yes I have, I knew folks on the crew | |
| Band/artist documentaries. "The Decline of Western Civilization", by Penelope Spheeris, on the circa-1980 LA punk scene, is imo a must watch. |
