| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @steakster wouldn't it be better to use the XLR for the better quality and use the -3db trick? | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @foggyus91 Hans touched on this 2 years ago. And Here is the followup video https://youtu.be/gXYCrvUPJY4?si=L7QByhXw-DGVIco6 https://youtu.be/yhwNiCt-Kiw?si=A_9yfYy01BqpVr_Q I watch his videos, thanks. It seems to be that a -3db woul... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? Yes, using XLR connectors Usually listen at 60-70 DB range | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? Wow, this is interesting. If I have the ever solo volume at 100%, I can only get my preamp at about 15% loud before I start getting what I feel is a tiny bit of distortion. Some other people might call it something else. But, it feels like it's at... | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals Just wanted to mention that I upgraded to a Eversolo A8... it helped a lot. I'm learning every component matters when doing separates. | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I did the demo in my garage. It went great. The guy did not mind. He was really nice, but it is good to be safe than sorry. It was fun meeting someone else in the same hifi hobby. Getting cash was great also, no worries about electric payments. | |

| Is AI going to kill Hifi? @raesco yes, that is exactly what I see | |
| Moon 390 Network Streamer I'm coming a bit late to this conversation. But I wanted to mention that I just recently bought a 861 moon amp brand new. The retailer that I bought it from sold two that same week, mine included. Pretty impressive for a amp over 20 grand. I also ... | |
| Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some? The salesman at my dealer said the a8 is the best he heard hands down for that price category. Thinking about buying a a8 | |
| OT: Espresso machines Also, I would recommend a compak k6 grinder over a baratza. Mine has lasted over 13 years | |
| OT: Espresso machines How much are you looking to spend? I recommend for starters a rincilio Silvia. Mine is over 13 years old and still works. I keep it as an extra now as I have a linea mini. But I used it everyday for like 10 years I think before I upgraded. The bo... | |
| lightning storm I have a whole house surge protector on my external electric panel outside. It still won't protect against lightning strikes against the AT&t internet phone line. I'm working on getting a whole home search protector for the inner panel too. | |
| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. Is Zelle really safe? I read where the buyer could tell the bank the transaction wasn't authorized and that would be a chargeback with Zelle | |
| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. These are focal speakers that are for $4k... even with that type of amounts? |
