| Starting my showroom again @grislybutter I said nothing about boring, corporate or cubicles. Its a choice to be responsible, to save, to ensure a secure future. To do otherwise is flat out financially irresponsible and dangerous. Dreaming and hoping for a secure future?... | |
| Starting my showroom again @nashvillehifi Several serious questions for you. 1) How are your finances and specifically your retirement assets? 2) A small shop like you are describing is what I call buying a job and, in this case, buying a marginal job at that. 3) Can you ... | |
| Is all the hype warranted @yoyoyaya your comment about harmonic distortion may apply to some very low powered SET amps with mis-matched speakers but it certainly doesn't apply to the majority of SET amps. Certainly not the one I listen to daily. It would be the equivalent ... | |
| Is all the hype warranted SET = Single ended triode tube | |
| Is all the hype warranted It depends..SET transformers matter. Alot. | |
| Is all the hype warranted When I owned Wilson Sasha 2 speaker, I had to send in my then Audio Research Ref75se for repairs. (really? who knew a blown power tube takes out a resistor? Why would anyone use a fuse anyway? Its so much more convenient to send it off for repairs... | |
| Is all the hype warranted It’s solid gear and reasonable value. Nothing more, it isn’t going to slay any audio giants. Leben, Shindo, Audio Note....throw a dart at their respective catalogs and you will be rewarded. I like Steve and what Decware does...it’s just a well eng... | |
| Audio Note Cobra and Cambridge Audio MXN10 What bit depth are you sending to the dac in the Cobra? That’s a 16 bit chip with either a 44.1 or 48 ceiling. | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... @samureyex Adjusted for inflation, restaurant sales declined 1.3% in 2024 vs 2023. 2023 sales were up 5% over 2022 and 2022 sales were up 4% over 2021.The sky isn’t falling. | |
| McIntosh purchased by Bose...NOT an April Fool's joke. Why do you need an audio system in a Ferrari? | |
| Audiogon seller's question @audioman58 you only owe tax in the event you are profitable on the transaction. Its kindof of been the law for a long time. Long before the past several presidents. | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier @erikt An OTO with preamp outs??? Going back 20 years of versions of the OTO and I am not sure it was ever offered with preamp outs. Make CERTAIN you are getting what you think you are. | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC This just isnt that big of a deal but I've enjoyed the popcorn. MoFi CEO to his/her Assistant: "Hey, remind me to send a thank you note to the dude who used to work for DCS!" | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier @erikt I’ll try not to come off as a fanboy (I’m not actually, just a satisfied user) for Audio Note but your speakers are the real pearl in your system. The Super K’s are wired internally with $1,000 per meter cable and the crossovers are pop... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier @erikt You haven’t mentioned your cables, please share your interconnect and speaker cable lineup. I owned the AN-K/SPx several years ago or as the Audio Note camp calls them, the Super K’s. A terrific speaker and very easy to drive. What is ... |
