| Who is Roon? @immatthewj What a great idea I hope you’re gonna be there to give me my prestigious award. What an absolute honor. So many people to thank | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? @atmasphere Pretty damn awesome response. Very helpful. Would love to see a picture of your system I bet it's fascinating and maybe there's a lot of commentary about your system here somewhere | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? @ghdprentice I support you in using cables and interconnects made by Transparent. I also use their power cords in order. Cables tend to color the sound for better or worse. This is a factual comment. There is considerable creativity in making c... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing I was close to getting a VTL pre amplifier but customer service was a huge problem. Not very friendly out there in California who make this. | |
| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted Technicians with tube expertise are declining, and it’s mostly due to poor compensation related to warranties servicing from manufacturers. I spoke to a guy in New York City who is retiring and there’s no one there to take his place so he’s closin... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? I think the premise of this is horrifying. So you have $100,000 worth of gear sitting around and that means you’re foregoing about five grand a year in interest income. So the $5000 Plus the hundred thousand dollars is what it cost to occasional... | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? I think this conversation would be interesting related to speakers. Clearly higher speakers are incredibly overpriced as demonstrated by a used market which prices them at 50% of list after two or three years. And this is from a dealer who no dou... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? amidst all of these really good comments there were no comments from people who actually build amplifiers that I could see. It would seem to me an amplifier designer is putting together an amplifier he would need to choose between lots of parts t... | |
| Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM They have lots of great products posted on their website. The price look pretty good. Hard to believe this is a scam it looks pretty good to me. But I would never ever ever buy gear located in a foreign country. Although if done through eBay and... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing Go for the schiit. It has a feature that allows you to go back-and-forth between solid state and tube. It's controlled by remote. It's got a great sound. It looks really cool. It's well-made. And you can't beat the price. | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? @atmasphere It all sounds amazing. It's so complicated. Very elegant prose. SAT verbal score was kinda low so forgive me I don't understand this too well. Some scary things related to a D amplifier. Wish I would've pursued an advanced degree... | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? @jperry This is a hell of an article referenced. And a few really nice pictures which makes it nice for me. | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? @immatthewj I’m gonna order the Dixie cups from Amazon for about 10 bucks can I send you a pair? | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I have a 12 inch Driver subwoofer that's 25 years old from Bowers and Wilkins, ASW 2000. It's a beast. Would it be a good idea to replace this thing? It still works but I wonder if the quality is very good at this point. | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System Did I read above that the op received the package? Maybe they should've waited two weeks before they posted this comment. This is why it’s not a good idea to ship puppies through the US mail system. |
