| Phonostage/preamp recommendations. Parasound JC3 Jr.? The Pro-Ject Tube box DS2 (I think that’s the name) is a really cool piece for $699. All tube design (which means you can roll and adjust sound) and all setting adjustments are done with dials on the front panel: might be exactly the user-friendly... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers My two my cents... I have owned dozens of speakers from planars to bookshelf to full range floorstanders. I have a pair of 20 year old Monitor Audio GR60s in my second system that I will never get rid of. If I did, someone would be buying the bes... | |
| Swapped long wall to short wall and now I am having some big issues Just saw yours and Onhey61’s response. Sorry for the redundancy. | |
| Swapped long wall to short wall and now I am having some big issues I don’t want to say this... But is it possible that removing the closet eliminated a natural bass trap in the room that is now causing standing waves and making the mids and highs to go funky? I did almost the exact opposite a year back: speakers... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Switching to tube amplification. Distortion? Maybe. But it sure sounds good to me. | |
| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone All of this deception must interfere with enjoying your music, right? Unless, and I suppose this is the case, you’re just interested in quality “sound.” Which is fine, but I imagine your conscience must be needling you enough to make it not very f... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? “Contest winner?” Could anything possibly sound more like a shill? Have the dealers/owners just stopped trying? Who ever wins a “contest” that isn't CHOSEN to win the “contest?” No one. So I say, to help the common man, get the Rega! Even though ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Brucefredrick. I also have the Straigtbwire Maestros. Excellent to hear that there’s synergy there! | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Mine arrive this week, after a long wait. It’s a wait I’ve been happy to have made, considering Bruce’s shop was right in the path of Hurricane Michael. He reported that everything survived intact. Unfortunately, his workers homes required a ton o... | |
| PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO +1 for Rogue gear. Couldn’t be happier with my ST-100/Metis magnum combo. It even survived my daughter’s cat vomiting a hair ball on to the vent and down into the board. Don’t worry AGers, it won’t be for sale here (any time soon, anyway). | |
| Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez @zyac39 I agree with adopting being a bit overboard. Especially since feeding him/her and paying for college would quickly evaporate your $10 a month savings. You could try to find one with a scholarship and good taste in jazz, though. | |
| Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez @zyac39 The WhatHiFi review I linked is old. First gen software take. They’ve definitely evolved since then. I think you’ll like tidal. Plus, 60 days to decide you don’t... lots of time to listen to the 2.6 million albums! | |
| Suggestions for a tough room? Not a comedian, just have a non optimal listening space... Interesting take, nonoise. I subscribe devoutly to the concept that less is more, as well as the idea that treating the listener is as valuable as treating the room. Nothing like a single malt scotch to clear the eustacian tubes and relax the mind... | |
| Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez Adopt a college kid if you don’t have one and you can try it for a year for $100. | |
| Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez https://www.whathifi.com/tidalmasters/reviewHere’s a link to What Hi-Fi’s review with all of your questions answered! No need for MQA device is a nice plus. It’s actually 60 days free. I’m only a week into my subscription, so I haven’t dug too far... |
