| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @tubie There exists terrific equipment at every pricepoint. The Ongaku example was meant to disprove the one size fits all obsolesence conspiracy being implied. Yes, great sound can be aquired at $150,000 (retailish of the Ongaku), $100,000, $50... | |
| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? AD did own Valenicas but his reference were Devore Orangutans. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @peter_s I found that a high quality aes/ebu cable was a worthwhile investment but it isn’t night and day “a veil was removed and my wife walked in and asked what changed” kind of improvement. It matters but its the last thing to address rather th... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? The Rubicon is VERY, VERY good…in some systems, the Muon setups might be redundant . | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @kota1 thats a cool photo of Sinatra’s system at his Palm Springs home (not the really unique Twin Palms, but instead his later home built at Tamarisk CC). The preamp is a Mcintosh C22, which is stereo. The center is summed in such a setup. Gl... | |

It was a primitive “implementation”. Its all good if you... | |
| would innuos mk3 streamer benefit from network filter Yes, the filters, cables, etc offered by Network Acoustics do a great job on the ethernet side of things. What usb cable and dac are you using. Also, ensure that your settings in Roon bypass the dsp, etc. | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @mihorn Ummmm, whatever you say. | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @mihorn Certainly I didn't intend to strike a nerve about your product, only to point out that your absolute statements that your way is the only way to achieve natural sound are absolutely wrong. I THINK you are asking us to click to your syste... | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @mihorn All audio systems in the world sound un-natural (except Wavetouch audio which is an only natural sounding audio system). I haven’t experienced your speakers first hand in my recollection. They may or many not be exceptional, HOWEVER, ... | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? @samureyex I’m not sure I would draw any conclusions whatsoever from Mr. Huff’s gear swaps. Like many of us, I enjoy his reviews/videos but there will always be something new on the horizon. Once again, his credibility would be well served to ... | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? Kenjit has never been one to let facts get in the way of the narrative. | |
| Fee for home audition @svenjosh You misunderstand…not the dealer with whom you had a misunderstanding, please share the name of the dealer from whom you evenutaly purchased. The community benefits when we patronize better dealers. | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @johnk @kenjit You really shouldn’t be so paranoid, however, I have it on excellent authority that someone is out to take advantage of you! | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? So @johnk to clearly answer your original query...excellent gear is built to sound and perform excellently. Your premise that most things have a planned obsolescence or worse, that it is designed to impress and then sit around not being used is in... |
