I posit that there ... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? The three best years for modern era high end audio sales in terms of units sold and revenue were 2021, 2022 and 2023. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I’ve only got 40,000 tracks on my 2tb Grimm Audio MU1. Works perfectly. I do not utilize dsp, I’m not a fan of the sound. | |
| MQA....again. Is anyone actually cross shopping a Lenbrook product with a non-Lenbrook product now filled with anxiety for FOMO if they choose a different product? For most who frequent this forum, I would sibmit this isn’t a thing. For those who wish to remain... | |
| Double up on speaker cables @timkeough1964 I continue to be astounded that intelligent, educated adults still believe a few strands of silver can provide "airiness", " finer detail", "improved mid bass" and bring out "nuances" only previously heard by golden eared fruit f... | |
| Ethernet cables With due respect, just for balance of message, an actual computer network engineer will tell you that any adequately designed cat 5e or above cable, within spec., will deliver the same sound. Any dietician will tell you that two steaks with ... | |
| The Horror The automotive equivalent of what happens on Audiogon: Person A: I have a beater Chevy pickup truck, it hauls alot of stuff in the back and does so easily. All I have to do is put gas and oil in it, don’t worry about scratches...it the perfect... | |
| The Horror @ap1 while you might be trying to be helpful, your advice above ($20k entry point, Luxman or Accuphase) is somewhat narrow and wide of the mark. The OP was seeking help understanding what about his setup was holding him back. Its the room combined... | |

| Integrated Amplifiers - Esoteric F-01, Esoteric F-02 or Dan D'Agostino Progression @charles1dad hope you are well. While I am less concerned about someone’s politics I always appreciate a heads up when trying to decide between the PolPot or the Mothertheresa integrateds. In the case of the Dag gear, does that mean there is m... | |
| The Horror Thanks for the sentiment everyone, I just miss when we could all kindly agree to disagree. Apologies to the OP as its his thread. Peace to all involved. | |
| The Horror @mrdecibel …. other than your comments toward @tvad being unkind and completely off topic for the purposes of assisting @audiodidact with his queries, your posts were unecessarily snarky and mean IMO. I’ve admired many of your posts in the past an... | |
| The Horror @mrdecibel Your series of preceding posts are unfortunate. | |
| The Horror @audiodidact @tvad has given you some great advice about booking some time with Mr. Smith. I'm certainly not pointing any fingers at anyone on this thread with what Im about to say but I've listened to some pretty nice systems in pretty terrib... | |
