| What's going on with the audio market? 57,20,?I had to abandon my hifi addiction when I turned 30 or so, and was stereo-less until last year. It was fun getting back to speed.I think my days of chasing the 'perfect system' have passed, but when I see a good deal and there's money in th... | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? Well, I hate to be an old poop, but I think you could do better than Monster Cables. In fact, if you can swing it ( and I know being a college student equals limited funding- I had student loans, too), I would convert everything to the Bluejeans-W... | |
| If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good? I like to try 'giant killers' in my system. I never had the financial means to afford pricey equipment, so I gravitate to smaller, lower priced manufacturers- though the internet now allow me greater access, thanks Audiogon.I agree with mofimadne... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! jzzmusician, you must be a really nice guy. I think your kids probably had a better childhood because of her-nothing like the continuity of generations in a household. In any case, now you can stream music through the internet and listen to anythi... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce russmaleartist, I don't think this post should be part of this discussion. If you feel the need to express your opinions regarding the transient nature of 'the best', you should create a new thread.Sinewave asked for our opinions regarding the Wil... | |
| Power cords everywhere! Will steel braid help protect audio signal? Are you experiencing any signal degradation or hum?I, too, have a rat's nest of wire, but, thankfully, haven't noticed anything that is degrading to the sound. | |
| Feniks ESSENCE - the world's best computer speaker system The 6 moons review doesn't seem to work.Your speakers look interesting, Any way to audition them in the USA? | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! jzz, I can entirely relate to you. I have been without a real stereo for almost 20 years, too.-Mostly related to starting my own business as opposed to a MIL.I, too, remembered my experience hearing Vandersteen's in my youth.Fast forward to 2016, ... | |
| Dual Purpose Dac? I think Schiit has a model that does what you want. | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! I have the Schiit Bifrost and am loving it. I think think price wise it is a better move than the PS (which I have heard great things about). As mentioned before, they have a return policy. The nice thing about the Bifrost is that it is upgradable... | |
| Tidal streaming needle-drops? It makes me wonder why people are going back to vinyl. Even if it 'sounds' better, those damn pops, and scratches were the devil's work.-Let alone having to get up and cue a new record... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Nice to hear you are liking the Sophia's. Have almost the same gear as you did, and was thinking about a Wilson upgrade route. | |
| Power Cord Length Me, too....Thanks mazur. | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor Tweak, the bass trap has damping materials, which I believe would cause it to affect the sound, rather than simply elevating it. | |
| Simaudio moon nova LE cdp Do you enjoy the sound of the Cdp?If so, why chase after the 'flavor of the month'?IMO, you will have more flexibility if you use the cdp as a transport and connect it to a DAC, if you are looking for a sound upgrade/change. |
