| High End is Dead? @audiopoint VERY well said. I would add that the next generation of music consumers may have no desire to have multiple racks of gear in a dedicated listening room shut off to the world. A multi box shrine with its sundry rituals to some aspiriati... | |
| High End is Dead? Most of ads on Audiogon is for old and/or off-brand gear for less than $1000. Wilsons and Magicos are a tiny minority of listings and they're all from dealers. In reality no one is buying high end. I went to AXPONA this year, and I didn't see many... | |
| High End is Dead? @madavid0“Anyone who says high end is changing to personal audio is just saying that the high end is dead. Cell phones sound like CRAP. Modern pop music is TRASH. I have a pretty good portable player and it merely sucks LESS.”Personal audio in the... | |
| High End is Dead? @gnaudio thanks for your input. Your three posts in total with all three on this thread give you a great deal of credibility. We have two issues here, first issue is that the OP and his alter ego (you) are trolls and again, I cant for the life of ... | |
| High End is Dead? Thats my point. In 1962 someone who purchased a hifi spent real money, sometimes many months of free cash flow, whereas today you can get a decent system for comparative peanuts. Additionally, gear today is pretty darn reliable. | |
| High End is Dead? Cant quite understand why posting these idiotic topics excites the OP so much. It is however my hope that he someday leaves his parents basement to discover there is sunshine and beauty outside to behold. That there are jobs to be landed and exper... | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE Also, dont forget to ensure the settings on your computer and roon are optimized. The Border Patrol is an exceptional dac, I have one in my office system (audio research in my main system). Cycle it on and off a couple of times a day, also do the ... | |
| McIntosh MA6300 headphone output Difference between the 100 and the 150 is the 150 has the ability to decode DSD via usb. Yawn. I would be very surprised if the mha series utilizing the autoformers wouldnt drive your cans wonderfully. | |
| McIntosh MA6300 headphone output Second the MHA100. Will drive your Focal speakers wonderfully for your application and the headphone amp is exceptional! | |
| American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components Smith erroneously omitted societal costs with the importation. Of course, when he was writing there were no social safety nets (read publicly funded entitlements). To see pure democracy at work, visit India....extreme wealth overlooking squalid sl... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Sorry about that @geoffkait , yes, the first two paragraphs were partially sarcastic and the final paragraph straight (my wife really can hear the difference and it is the epitome of double-blind testing, she will sit down and tell me what is diff... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I was fine with lamp cord, zip cord or simple, straightforward cables for years. Unfortunately, my wife is a huge fan of the overpriced, overhyped cables which are debated here ad nausea. I sure wish she didn't hear a difference between Transparen... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @gdhal Excellent points and exactly the kind of information we should be sharing with one another. Thank you.To expand on the topic somewhat, all reviews are merely observations and there is no substitute for listening. It is nice that some review... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @dlcockrum your 2 data points using the all positive reviews from 6 moons and the quasi negative review of the Schiit by Stereophole kindof proves the point. I’m not saying all of the reviews by 6 moons are invalid, they’re just all positive all t... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @dlcockrum Everyone is different but I have not read one review from 6 moons because they REQUIRE a manufacturer to purchase ad(s) prior to reviewing a product. |
