| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. I don’t regret it at all. For me, it was money spent over the course of a number of years, and part of the audiophile “upgrade” process so to speak. In fact, it still goes on today. That’s what make this hobby a hobby for me. If I had spent the mo... | |
| Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC? Yes, it’s an excellent DAC for the money. And part of why the node is such a good product. However, it’s easily bested by many better DACs out there. It will either satisfy you or get you thru “admirably” until you upgrade. | |

| What say you binding posts or direct wire? For many many years I just rant bare wire connections from my amp to speakers. I just switched to a very neat array of banana plugs. When I installed the banana plugs I noticed the tarnish, grime whatever on the ends if the wires and what a mess i... | |

| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? I’m with you 100% brother. During Covid I assembled two McIntosh vintage tube stereo systems, which I still have and enjoy, just not enough room. I also bought a pioneer integrated amp and an adcom pre…why I don’t know. The pioneer was my modifica... | |

| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? +1 @rsf507 Mofi makes great sounding cartridges and I suspect their turntable would just be a great sounding table. Quality and sound. | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . I don’t know why we or some audiophiles shun equalization. Same thing for the dreaded loudness switch that I lived for when I was young. Equalization is liberating. Embrace it and have fun! That’s what the hobby is all about, at least for me. | |
