| Anyone heard Nuforce Reference 18's RothweaI am curious if when using the Nuforce you used vibration control, mass loading and power separation from your other equipment - when I did these three things the Nuforce became very special clear signal passers, before that they were good ... | |
| Anyone heard Nuforce Reference 18's Interesting. I have been eyeing the Pass Labs XA's but was concerned that the 30.5 would not have enough power to drive my speakers in a large room | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? Sorry - correction : Audiophiles, not audiofiles. Last sentence in my last post continues... and during that time focus on exploring new music. | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? How many old timers would agree with these tenets gleaned from 50 years of experience: Trust your own ears but educate them -enjoy live music often. Listen to as many systems as you can in other people's homes, you will be humbled at the many ways... | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? Did want to make a point. There may be newer members who, while new to the site have some wisdom about stuff too. For example, I have been on Audiogon since 2005. But my journey with music started with studying piano in 1957 (54 years ago), then a... | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? I have been a member since 2005, so am in the middle of the ten year cycle. Started with finding A'gon invaluable for all kinds of newbee questions and the members being extremely helpful on and off site to guide me through learning about tubes an... | |
| French Doors Another vote to use exterior French doors - with their double panes of thick glass and weather sealing they do a good job keeping sound out of the rest of the house. I use them between the home and an addition with a brick wall between and it work... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Wow a new excuse! "Honey, I have to go get this new equipment so that you will have fresh material for your blog". | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Enjoyed it and now know how come you are such a good guy having met the women behind the man:) | |
| help with music? Congrats on your new equipment. I selected stuff that I love to hear anytime but particularly on new equipment to judge just how good that equipment can sound. If you liked Dark Side you may enjoy Pink Floyd's Meddle, and The Wall. All the followi... | |
| Best Preamp for Ayon Orthos II monoblocks? "Of course no integrated pre-amp is going to be as good as a dedicated reference tube pre for example,"I think that this may not necessarily be true. When I went to the CD5s, I got rid of two power cords and two sets of IC's which were necessary w... | |
| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? As digital playback improved I listened carefully back and forth from good vinyl to good CD and decided that since I do not enjoy the vinyl rituals and the each sound had pros and cons, to sell my collection. I recorded some of my absolute favorit... | |
| Best Preamp for Ayon Orthos II monoblocks? My experience with the CD5s is that it is really a wonderful unit. Preferred it to the Meridian 808.3 | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Very very happy still with service, reliability, and sound.But am replacing mine due to WSF wanting simpler equipment, with the $11,800 Ayon CD5's (Transport,DAC, and preamp all in one box so she can operate easily)- only thing I found that satisf... | |
| cd player or computer with dac Source will make a great difference. There are many good options but you need to specify your budget and what is important to you in terms of sound parameters to narrow things down a bit |
