Best digital format (non streaming) +1@ @arcticdeth. With the caveat that it’d be a cd transport and separate DAC. My McIntosh MCT also accepts large capacity usb thumb drives. Helps me play my DSD files that don’t play natively through my Bluesound node. | |
End Game Turntable suggestions I love my VPI, and the fact you can easily upgrade it make it a clear winner in my books. Consider that as a major plus in your decision. My last upgrade was a Walker speed controller, and a Koetsu Rosewood Signature which really stepped up perfor... | |
SUT - electrical theory and practical experience +1 @fuzztone …..it’s about gain, simple. | |
Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2? +1 @audioman58. Although I do not use the Sonore, I use the same principle in breaking the Ethernet connection with fiber using a tx and rcvr just before the streamer. This has probably been one of the biggest noticeable upgrade tweaks I’ve ever d... | |

Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"? @kota1 I understand the question and concept and I wasn’t criticizing in any way, just my opinion that I think it’s either hifi or it’s not. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. | |
Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"? I really hate the term “midfi” it’s so hard to determine what that is. There’s so many price points for audio gear and levels of performance. Also price is also not commensurate with performance in many cases. In my opinion it’s either hifi, or no... | |
McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X +1 @stereo5 Couldn’t have said it more eloquently myself. | |
When were the best tube amps made? McIntosh MC 30s. Ethereal sounding! Like nothing else. | |
Streamer/CD ripper They sound different! A ripped cd can sound amazing depending on your system. I agree with some posters advocating a separate ripper via a computer with dbamp. A nas and separate streamer can make or break the end result! With that said, I don’t t... | |
McIntosh Announces Mc451 Dual Mono Power Amplifier I think it’s a brilliant idea if it sounds good! I would love to hear one. | |
Vinyl record cleaning I don’t think so……. |
