| ??? 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... | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase There are plenty of people that have no intention of buying and these people don't care how much of your time they consume. "Knob twisters" "Tire kickers" "Gear gawkers" "Lookie-Loos" Good sales people know who you are and see you coming. Do... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? WAF... the dog that does bark! Acoustic treatments are avoided because of room aesthetics.

This bias lives in the imagination of humans and makes it easy for scammers. Years ago Starbucks coffee was doing poorly. They kept lowering the price to lure... | |
| The "young people' music thread - Artists younger than 40 years old @oddiofyl Marcus reminds me of the enormous talent of Teddy Swims or some Chris Stapleton. | |
| Devialet , the best bass of any speaker @bdp24 Much more than that. It's using opposed woofers that are each hermetically sealed. Inside is supposed to be under 400 lbs. of pressure. They are very unique and the sound is impressive. The bass is astounding. | |
| What exactly is ROON? Another choice to investigate would be Audirvana. A better way to stream from a laptop.If you use a computer to stream music this software has an exclusive mode that bypasses the crappy volume controls and allows for a straight signal to an extern... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal The TV sends PCM straight down optical cable to the external DAC/ then pre-amp for volume control/ then amp. | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal Qobuz also has an app for your TV. There is a resolution setting of either MP3 or CD quality if your TV is capable of supporting higher resolution. I find the sound to be very satisfactory on my Samsung. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Some interesting ASR reviews and tid-bits but that's where it ends. I really don't like the condecending attitude. A rather grumpy group of 'know it alls' looking to show their superiority to the crowd. Your 'opinion' is NOT welcome and they wil... |
