| Quandary I went about halfway down into the comments, which go all over the place, and just jumped right to this. I’m glad to see you canceled the demo because though Pass amps are generally fantastic and I’m fairly sure you’ll like it over the Benchmark- ... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? Clearly, russbutton never ran a business... https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2701797 There’s no conspiracy theory about why someone’s just not going to send you, a stranger, an expensive piece of used equipment for a whole bunch of reasona... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? I'm sorry, I'm headed to work and I didn't read the entire thread yet, but my opinion on auditioning is pretty consistent with what I've done throughout the years when dealing with pieces that ship, as opposed to stuff that's nearby that I can au... | |
| Tidal removing all MQA . "MQA was founded in 2014 and is backed by several major labels, including Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and Sony Music". That really says most of what you need to know in terms of how 'good' it is compared to free market solu... | |
| Tube Amp recommendation for Thiel CS1.6 under $2k There are a number of fantastic, well reviewed Class D amps that could be had for a song, so to speak, and will really make the speakers sing. | |
| Listening Room immatthewj 1,365 posts 05-28-2024 at 06:43pm But when I am back there, there are no distractions and I am listening, not doing anything else. A room that small is an imperfect environment, and had I known the limitations, I might not have mov... | |
| Listening Room unreceivedogma @gents I have a chair in the sweet spot. I move my head even a few inches left or right, the sound changes. I do not “do other stuff” while I listen. That’s not listening, and it’s a waste, imho, of the investment in both time and... | |

| One answer to an oft-asked question. There's an entire world of music I haven't heard, so listening to things like internet radio stations near and far, I'm always finding something new and good to listen to. Excellent AOR I missed through the years just catching stuff on Sirius XM ... | |
| Listening Room Listen, a good stereo is a good stereo even if you listen in another room- and it’s really good when it sounds good in another room. More often than not, I’m listening from my kitchen or my front porch or over supper in our dining room and not a f... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday And I could never even get the time of day at The Stereo Exchange. I tried a handful of times. Maybe it was the Rolex/Mercedes thing... Fortuitously, not caring for being invisable at The Stereo Exchange resulted in me finding my little audio ’lo... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better Funny thing about the LIM- I 'restocking fee' auditioned the final Yggy LIM just as the new, modular (remote) LIM came out. So, with a new one out there, which they said was the same, just 'modular' I purchase the latest model because the Yggy bro... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday Upon first site of ’Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday’ I immediately thought there’ll likely be more than a few ’ugh finally’s floating around the hobby today. I met him once, probably 30 years ago, as a pair of hands while... | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. This was a really good thread. I've been so lucky to be who I am and where I was in pop music time. I've essentially met of my music heroes with the exception of Elvis, who I was blessed enough to see pretty closely back in 1975. I've been reall... | |
| Buying Used Speakers I have absolutely no problem driving from New York City to, say, Ohio to pick up speakers I want. I know more often than not people generally don’t have a problem with FedEx or UPS, but if you’ve ever had a problem trying to collect on an insured ... |
