| They know we will pay anything they can think of @mike_in_nc I felt you didn't get any of the tax cuts. Intuition. It's always easier to form a negative opinion of tax cuts your way. | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of @ghdprentice I'm stunned... you mean it really does cost $22,000 to make a preamp and market it? I want to thank you for informing me. I will try to not be lazy next time and find the answers you have already found. | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of @mike_in_nc The next time a tax cut comes up.... refuse it. You may have more money than you know what to do with so this post probably isn't really for you. | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of @oddiofyl 5K in some of todays market wouldn't come near purchasing the hifi gear currently available. However having said that, if you are frugal you can get some good deals on very good sounding gear. Some of the very expensive stuff, I just ... | |
| Mental and auditory acuity, and aging Each person is different. I have two friends my age who have to wear hearing aids but aren't audiophiles. I, on the other hand, lost 80% hearing in my right ear at age 20 before I became a full fledged audiophile and enjoy music as much as I did i... | |
| USED pre-amp + amplifier combo for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 2000? You are being very optimistic. | |
| You’re An Independent Dealer, Which Companies And What Products Would You Represent? McIntosh, VAC, Accuphase, B&W, Martin Logan, Sonus Faber. Goofyfoot is right about the McIntosh turntable... it's ugly. In General who wouldn't like those blue Vu meters on their amps. | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help I can't really figure out what he is trying to do... not sure why he isn't plugging the ethernet cable into the modem and the modem into the computer. There are multiple programs you can work with directly on your computer once they get there that... | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? Well you might do what I did.... I did away with my cd player years ago and gave away all my cds (hundreds) to a friend... which was good for a while. Then as years went by, I bought a Oppo DVD player to watch movies on. Then I read that you can p... | |
| Why on earth? I think the idea of this is to give you an idea of how they do sound. What really to me is a waste of time is to have a reviewer talk endlessly about his impressions of what he heard without a demonstration. You should be able to get an idea of ma... | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack I'm going to go an entirely different way.... Find a woodworking friend, draw a picture of exactly what it is you want and have him build it out of the materials you would like to use. | |
| How serious are you? I have several systems in my house so you guess. Having said that, there is a price point I will not go over because I think the dealers sit back, look at their equipment, and come up with a number they think they can get those crazy people to pay... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? Lol one thing that really comes through is that I bet that the majority of audiophiles here can't agree on what they consider good music. I'm a female jazz singer listener and other styles of music are nice to listen to once in a bluemoon (no asso... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? I have several systems and one of them is for watching DVDS and listening to music.... but it is not a surround system because I really don't like them and if I hadn't looked at the chart here on this post, I would think surround systems would be ... | |
| is sensorineural hearing loss permanent? Nerve cells don't regenerate and once they are gone, they are gone. The ringing you may hear is your brain trying to turn up the sound in the effected side. That is why you should always protect your ears when around loud noises. Anything above 95... |
