| BS meter is pegged! @invalid @coralkong Have questions been asked? | |
| BS meter is pegged! @laoman That’s a good question. Sometimes it’s better to get in front of things than ignore them. Sometimes. There are more, but I’m only familiar with 2 manufacturers responding on ASR: the dude from tekton, and the vastly more illustrious Bob... | |
| BS meter is pegged! Some manufacturers respond promptly on ASR. Not so much around here. Squeaky wheel gets the grease I guess | |
| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? @stereo5 very true. And that's exactly why Right to Repair laws are so important. They force rogue companies to make all repair information for their products accessible to the public. That makes all the difference between the shops you talked t... | |
| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? I believe that criticizing companies, or publicizing any info about them that is relevant to its customers' interests yet might prove detrimental to the company itself, is perfectly fine and even desirable. Transparency is a good thing, and this i... | |
| BS meter is pegged! Porsche's approach to EVs is to carbon-copy internal-combustion cars. Low regen, digitized classic flat-six sounds piped in through the sound system, fake "Turbo" name, etc. I hate it, personally. Yet the Taycan is an amazing car; and Porsche, li... | |
| 3k budget for Turntable and Phono Noob- do I need external power supplies? Excellent advice from @vettegood And the Vincent 701 has its own external linear power supply. But to answer your original question, generally speaking you can spend $500 on a SBooster power supply or $75 on the AliExpress version. The differen... | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers Here they are, the ultimate divorce rebound speakers. Their purchase will speak to your ex-wife like words never could. https://www.soundroom.ca/products/wamm If, as has been alleged, they sound as fantastic as they are ugly, then you are truly ... | |
| MissingCDs and records @rvpiano I agree completely... The tactility of LPs, the jacket art, the glorious warmth and imperfection of the sound... Yes you have to get up every 15 minutes but so what. I am definitely a digital guy and maybe it's just dumb nostalgia, but ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Looks-wise, honestly, I would welcome Vivids in my home. Wilsons, never. Different, weird, I can rationalize and even grow to love. Offensively ugly, I can't. Wilson designers actually went to great lengths to make those speakers painful to look ... | |
| BS meter is pegged! At the end of the day, Audiophiles need to be told a soothing story in order to purchase a $14000 streamer that contains $1000 worth of hardware. The nonsense @p05129 accurately discussed in the original post exists just to support that narrative... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @bruce19 If you already own the 2x4, there's no harm experimenting with an active crossover setup like you described, which sounds like it would work fine. If you're pleased with the proof of concept, then you can consider the DAC question. Just... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 Perhaps @lalitk meant a SDFB dongle that would plug directly into the equipment's receptacle, eliminating the extra power cable the regular SDFB requires. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @ghdprentice I don't doubt it. I would welcome the opportunity to audition them.. What I don't get is why a person would tolerate these things in the beauty (hopefully) of their homes, candy apple paint job and all | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. https://www.soundroom.ca/products/wamm If a pac-man machine copulated with a traffic light Has any person ever bought a pair of these horrors, or are they just decoys meant to make the $500K ones look sensible? |
