| Do my ears deceive me?? @mofojo ”In what way have speakers had a tremendous advancement in the last 20 years,… Your Sonus Fabers are all paper driver… nothing new.?” In sound quality performance. Saying Sonus Faber speakers use paper cones is a gross abstraction. It is ... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k OP… “But it’s a super-resolving system and lesser recordings have their warts on full display”. This is one of the major themes of high end audio. I struggled with this off and on for thirty years… of my fifty year history in high end audio. T... | |
| Building Analog System @yogiboy +1 I would also look at Rega. They are probably the most popular entry level company with components reaching up to the lower high end. Have fun. Vinyl can be fun to play with. | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Speakers have made tremendous advancement in the last 20 years, as have electronics. But not all folks want different. If you are really happy with the sound of what you had, then maybe just stick with it. Alternatively, you could go audition ... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k Definitely take your time. Speakers in the range you are looking at are really good and very different. You want to hear them… holding off until a speaker connects with you. @grislybutter had a pretty good list of must hear. You also need to take ... | |

| Best DAC for iPhone - Volvo Car Play Connection? Huh? No DAC in your iPhone? Of course there is a DAC in your iPhone, otherwise you could not listen to music on your iPhone. You can get a digital output (these days… in the old days that was challenging when there was a 1/8” audio out. | |

| Stephen Stills Thank’s for the tip. I am listening to it now, Qobuz. Funny, I just finished listening to the version from Four Way Streets. It is enjoyable. The sound quality not quite as good as 4 Way Street, but still great. It is great to have another album ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 upgrade to 6SE. Yes. Audio Research dedicated a person to upgrades, so the turn around time dropped very significantly. I upgraded from a Ref 5SE to a Ref 6SE… so I can’t comment on the 6–> 6SE specifically. But, I am sure you will enjoy it. I have had the RE... | |
