| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @grannyring @ghasley Good post and it also made me laugh! This summer is also slower than past summers based on my selling experience which is vast 🤓. Confidence level in the economy, stock market losses and slowing housing market all impacting... | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? Some humorous insight into our Audiogon community is on full display. Here are a few facts: The recent supply chain hiccups created shortages, real and imagined. Tube supply disruptions triggered price and availability spikes. The average joe... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer Indeed, what clock in what component is best suited. Which power supply is best equipped to reject noise. Everything matters. Ive tried to minimize steps and where there is a component necessary I try to buy the best available within a certain pri... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer @seanheis1  I apologize if I gave you the impression that I hadn’t heard for myself. I started streaming years ago and was in the Mac mini is good enough camp. It was when I heard the difference between the Mac and the Innuos Zenith Mk3 and th... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer @seanheis1 Â When you experience a really good streamer personally, in a system you know well, it will make you feel like youve been spinning your wheels for a long time while you believed that part of your system was on solid ground. When you ... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @holmz @pedroeb are the true believers the Jews, Christians, Muslims, Morons, Hindus, or what? I’m guessing a Freudian typo? LOL. | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer In general, yes a Mac Mini sounds better than Dell and HP. A good dedicated streamer sounds better than a Mac Mini. | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222  I appreciate you AND @theaudiomaniac for sharing your knowledge. The chest bumping not so much. Unfortunately, there is a little more of that on Audiogon these days and I know I've done my part to perpetuate it from time to time. ... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222 Â If I were the moderator I would remind you that certain standards of decorum and relevance should apply to posting here. I might even imply that your approach and apparent gloating was churlish or prickly at best. Since I am not t... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @theaudiomaniac thanks for the reply. Indeed, there are alot of absolutes and alot of exceptions. I hear material sound quality differences and I am skeptical by nature. But what do I know, I enjoy tube amplification but my system is a digital onl... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? Yawn....no need to measure...they are both the same length. | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? You are both very knowledgeable and I'm grateful those standards mentioned aren't my decision to implement. The OP asked if there were solutions to improve noise, clocking, jitter, etc and were they beneficial. Some Audiogon members report improve... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @jumia  You are correct, better clocking and jitter control are equally as important. Once again, its one of those things in the hobby that once you hear it, or better stated, once you "don't hear" the negative effects of noise/clocking/jitter... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222  Thank you for the thoughtful reply. What you explain clearly in layman’s terms is appreciated. There are alot here on Audiogon who may be proficient at what we are proficient at while enjoying the audio hobby which is admittedly n... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222Â You may be a networking expert, which I respect unconditionally, but is there any possibility in your way of thinking that an analog waveform representing a secure digital financial transaction succesfully completes with added noise?... |
