| Best significant upgrade? Dac? Preamp? I'm Cleary biased since I now sell PS audio gear, but the new torreys operating system that is in beta right now takes the DS dac to another new even higher level. The direct stream Jr is lower cost and uses the same OS. I also agree power con... | |
| Motorman's New Scam Of The Week - the miraculous Furutech LP Demagnetizer This is exactly why I bought a Strain Gauge cart. It’s not effected by magnetism. Can’t wait for Raul to chime in about what A horrible choice I made . On a serious note, how many things that were once scoffed at (premium cables, balanced cables, ... | |
| New Springsteen Box: Opinions? Anyone know if these are all analog or digitally mastered . I Have hi res digital files and early pressings . Just wondering if its worth buying again | |
| New Power Amp from... Monoprice Well it's single ended only so no interest on my part. | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? Cerrot - was harmony house also a repair and computer place on the upper east side of Manhattan? If that’s the place it was there I first heard quad 63’s us. I walked In repair my mac Se computer and said hey are those electrostats (I had read ab... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I really enjoyed reading peoples recollection of the speakers. I remember hearing them for the first time as a teenager In a store called Ear Drum in Nanuet NY. It was amazing to hear what sounded like an actual guitar in front of you. there was a... | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor Glad to know I'm not the only one who hears a benefit from raising the subs. | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? Conversly you may be an audiophile if a woman you meet is either an audio engineer or studied electronics design and you are incredibly turned on by that. | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You may Not be an audiophile unless you have purchased or considering a purchase of outrageously priced ethernet cables (you'd never tell your IT guy about) that aren't supposed to make a difference but you can hear them anyway. | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor Wow I never heard of this product but thanks for bringing it up. When I first got my velodyne dd10plus subs (I also sell them) I had a bit of trouble getting them to blend with my TAD CR1’S, which have very articulate bass. I had a pair of sisitru... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I’m partial because I now sell them but the BHK 300 monoblocks (ps audio) are the culmination of Bascom kings life experience. I’m hearing things I never thought possible and can’t imagine an amp controlling a speaker better. I think they will eve... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Jafant I suspect you may have heard them in a non optimal set up. Also they can image narrower than other speaker setups, due to being coincident point source. I remember when the q1 was introduced going to hear the demo on some unfamiliar spect... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream with Bridge II - FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! As a new PS audio dealer I wanted to point out that the DS sounds amazing direct to amps via balanced. I could not have said that about the PWD. The DS has a great volume control scheme using a transformer. Direct to their BHK amps is unbeli... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Well I do know a little about TAD, which at over $40k for a floor stander seems expensive . I believe TAD/pioneer spent over 3 million in r&d on the reference speaker line, so that must be factored in, but something tells me a lot of mass mark... | |
