| dCS Bartok vs Aurender A20 I have not! The closest I came was taking my A20 over to a guys house with a Bartok non Apex to compare. We were rushed and he also had a separate streamer that I forgot the brand. We both thought it was very close but truly did not spend enough ... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? I prefer bananas, but never feel like they make the connection that spades do For the same reasons like others have stated. I only buy used equipment so when I got my transparent cable, most of what I found were spade to spade My older Wilson spe... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @lalitk Thanks for the heads up on LA Woman...am considering tonight(with scotch) You haven't commented on the Bill Evans so that worries me you were not impressed with the UHQR in comparison to your Riverside Recordings copies. | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @lalitk oh boy! now I feel the pressure!!! | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @lalitk too much scotch and late night record spinning occurred and yes, I have both; I have the Riverside collection as well and both UHQR are superior; You definitely get a greater feel of being there...there are subtle sounds throughout all 4... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR Nice..I got a few nice records at my favorite shop in Memphis Saturday after me and my audio buddy met for a BBQ sandwich at Payne's on Lamar. One of those hole in the wall joints with a couple that do it all and turn out some of the best in Memp... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @whart Very well said! I agree with you that the focus should be on finding those gems and new music to enjoy. It takes more effort too...it's much easier to replace an album you have or simply buy the latest audiophile of an album you don't h... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR I have several of the MoFi releases variety with 'Original Master Recording' at the top of the jacket. I find these are around 70/30 or maybe a bit better in their favor to be good releases. Several of mine where I have a good copy of the origin... | |
| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner @moto_man I've wondered the same as I signed up on HiFiShark a few months ago to be notified when one becomes available for sale. I have received a LOT of emails on these. I haven't tried one but did trial an open-box Eiger from Music Direct. ... | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? @willyht what has your experience been? Since I started upgrading my system from mid-fi to hi-fi 6 years ago it has been 100% Audio Research. I have been through 9 different preamps and 4 different amps. I always saw the biggest impact from amps... | |

| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i I also started my streaming with the Node 2i. I always had it going coax out to an external DAC. That list was(not in this order) Schiit Gungnir & Yggy, Audio Research DAC 7, DAC 8, GSi 75 and CD6. At one point I tried an Aurender N10 and ... | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed @inagroove I have done PP F&F for the past 2.5 years as a buyer and seller of $5-10k items. I have 100% feedback and most of those I dealt with did as well. There were not any with neg marks but there were a couple with no feedback. If I ... | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? @bobbydd I like searching for deals ; ) Echo Hi-Fi is a great group to deal with and have a BAT VK-75SE. I have no experience with this brand but this seems like a nice option for consideration. |
