| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD @mwinkc "I’ll spare you the economics lesson" Guess I should turn in my MBA in Finance, and the 40 years I spent in business finance roles in a fortune 100 company must have been a dream. Let me know when your classes start so I can finally under... | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD The great demise of the CD! So why did WADAX's bother to incorporate CD/SCAD playback, along with streaming, in its new $40K Studio Player ? Why are there other highend CD , or CD/SACD players - e.g. Soulnote, Goldnote, Neodio, Metronome, Accus... | |
| My Snubway and Main Stream Master Class Combo Review @ozzy @rlb61 - Thanks for your responses | |
| My Snubway and Main Stream Master Class Combo Review @ozzy - Based upon your above posts I am assuming that you haven't done this but if you have the opportunity to compare the Puron to the Main Stream I'd be interested in your assessment. txs @rlb61 Where did you place the Snubway in your Ze... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @czarivey - Are you stating the use of any tube in a generic way , meaning if you were doing say a dyi build that you could design the circuit to accommodate any tube as a rectifier? Otherwise, I remain hard to convince that you can arbitrarily s... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @czarivey "Any tube ... can work as rectifier" I don't know one way or the other if that is factually correct, but I haven't come across any tube amps, DAC,s or preamps that use anything but a tube that is in fact specified as a rectifier tube as... | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD @kennymacc "If you attend any high end audio show from here to Kalamazoo, you'll see turn tables spinning vinyl records in just about every room. However, when you look around that room, you'll see practically nobody but middle age older people s... | |

| Are your records a health concern? Life is short and filled with enough challenges, enjoy the little pleasantries instead of worrying about this nonsense | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? "Because McIntosh Tube Amplifiers are engineered to use Tubes in a way that does not rely on the Tube’s individual character and can perform perfectly provided the specifications are met, there is no advantage to seeking out expensive esoteric tub... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @wig I believe that i had read that the Project's output was optimized for AES/EBU. My SimAudio 260DT I discovered via communication with them was as well. As @soix stated it is a drawback with the LTA not having the other two type outputs as yo... | |
| Those magical days when the HVAC is off @bigkidz +1 On another site a member was chest puffing about all the money he spent on his dedicated listen room, dedicated lines, and equipment, but then stated that he needs to disconnect his refrigerator to maximize his listening experience. O... | |
| Those magical days when the HVAC is off Not going to argue whether or not a system sounds better without the AC/furnace running , but it would seem that sitting in an uncomfortable room as the temp rises would create a distraction in an of itself from enjoying the music. I live in a sub... | |
| Main Stream, from Vera-fi Audio @sgordon1 Did you have Puron's or another brand of plug in conditioner before the Main and if so how do you contrast them? I'm particularly interested in your experience if vs the Puron. |
