| Higher End DACs Glass is more transparent to RF but photons can travel through solid building structures, too. Like a knife through butter š§ Ā Elevators (metal) not so much. Thatās why reception improves as you move toward the window in many cases. Depends on wher... | |
| Selling on Audiogon uberwaltzBest option is just to let the auction run its course because sometimes all the action happens in the last few seconds anyway. And at the end if you still did not get as much as you felt you should have just cancel the sale, this comes at... | |

| How Do You Set Up a Headphone System? Iād opine itās more what you do with what you have than it is coveting the best headphones, best amp, etc. Tweaks are all the rage for battery headphone set-ups since you donāt have to worry about room anomalies, power cords, speaker cables, inter... | |
