| Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally? Actually, its the recommended storage method as long as its your Rick Astley collection. They won't warp!!!!! | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today Qobuz, no Tidal. Meitner added MQA as a safety/marketing thing. Rumor has it that he is "dubious" regarding the positive effects of MQA. | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today It sounds better to my ears through its internal streamer vs spdif/aes/usb. With that said, its likely all the cable/device variables have been removed from the chain. Enjoy, its a great dac, especially since you were luck to shag one preowned. | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today In my systems, the MA3’s internal streamer sounds best. Sold my FTA usb cable. Also, I dont know how much is audio nervosa vs real science but Ive been told not to run gear without it plugged into its appropriate load, ie plugged in via interconne... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @ejr1953 +1 | |

| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com I have no issue with anyone buying anything from any citizen of the world (that excludes Russia doesnt it...and China is on watch). With that said, even those who believe in buying their Chines made gear, I have yet to hear anyone recommend buying... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @teo_audio Thanks for "clearing that up"! I just knew that it was Edward Snowden's fault that my tube amplification sounds better but measures worse than a Topstard WE replica silicon SS amp that ASR will test shortly and proclaim it best. | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @jackhifiguy How a given piece of gear acts/reacts to test tones is important to all to varying degrees. Since most here listen to complete musical works, the data point is just that, a data point. There are other factors at play which I wont... | |
| New and improved Diamond Back Oil!!! Who priced THAT cable at THAT price? I’m not a contact enhancer kinda guy I was just curious who this new person Nano-flo/Chris was. Is this his cable? | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns The $400 dac very likely has a highly compromised output stage. So, a marginal dac with a compromised output stage...there is a chance that it might sound good but a whole lot of fortunate accidents would have to occur for that to be the case. Wha... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns @mahgister Respectfully, you make it abundantly clear in every thread on which you participate that acoustics and getting the room right are important. You get no argument from any seasoned audiogon participant. May I point out though tha... | |
| ATC or Audio Note (2-way) Makes my head hurt that you would consider modifying a $13,000+ two-way speaker like the Super K’s having never heard them. | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? The answer, as in all things in life, is it depends. A no compromise integrated vs like seperates (especially if from the same manufacturer) will always have the built-in compromise of a shared power supply. It may or may not be audible to you... |
