| Cheap crimp connection vs. Solder Crimps are excellent in the right application. In areas of high vibration or items that need frequent replacement. Auto, aircraft even NASA uses crimps. AC panel also has temperature change and frequent replacement installation. Perfect for press... | |
| A Simple Pleasure: Sharing the joy @mapman Be aware that you must go into 'settings' in the Qobuz app and manually change the setting in order to recieve the higher resolution. Otherwise it will remain at lower MP3 setting. | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. Ah, the ’ellusive contentment zone’. That may work for a short time. The tariff effect will probably be less than expected and the need to purchase more stuff will continue. Just a short pause in consumption. It’s a sickness, much like alcoholism... | |
| A Simple Pleasure: Sharing the joy I do a similar thing. I use the Qobuz app available on Samsung smart TV. (plays at 16/44 resolution) Quite good enough. Shows the list of what's playing. Seeing the album on the screen is a bit more involving especially at dinner parties. People ... | |
| How to find local audiophiles I once connected with an audiophile and was kindly invited to his home to hear his system. All very expensive gear but he was playing at such a low level there were no dynamics or bass. Just old vinyl records. Made no sense and it wasn't good list... | |
| Cheap crimp connection vs. Solder Strength isn't required in a home audio speaker. (car audio needs crimps for strength) Straightest, non-restrictive path of least resistance is the goal. In a proper soldered direct connection it does replace/remove the crimp. That's the point ... | |

| ??? SVS "Ultra Evolution Elevation" OR Elac "BS243.4 Carina" Speakers ??? Is this used as a main listening speaker?That SVS speaker shown is a rear surround and is NOT a good choice. This is their bookshelf speaker (highly recommended) | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix I saw this quote from Steve... the only DNA amp we've had trouble with is the DNA-1, and ONLY the DNA-1. This is because of age-related problems with the main circuit board, and ONLY that board. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps Pretty simple to work on IMHO. No rocket science required. | |

| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps A very helpful thread!! As a 30 year owner of a DNA 0.5 with deluxe upgrade, it's good to hear from Steve Mc, that the board problem exists only in the 1.0. I am contemplating re-capping. The parts are really not expensive so all that is require... |
