| Sound quality differences in streamers @paqua123 About logging in. I have a desktop, laptop and three iPads. I use Audiogon daily. I end up logging on to one of the devices maybe once a month while using them all constantly. Sounds like you are doing something that makes it difficult... | |
| Room treatment can be addictive @cdc Perfect and that is a straight jacket laying on the bed, correct? | |
| Chinese DAC's I'm not sure I'll be taking any masterclasses. Since I have had a number of different DACs in my system and could easily tell the difference. | |
| How hot is too hot? @mylogic | |
| Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts? @audiotroy Good comment. Now I can’t prove this. But I have a theory about 2).... offsetting components is not quite as effective as 1). First, I completely agree that 2) can be done, and should be. I have heard it... you know Benchmark DAC ... | |
| Asymmetry Bad OP, I read your topic, and quickly went to look at your system. Beautiful! I immediately saw the rack with the audio equipment and thought that could cause a problem. Racks with equipment confuse the imaging in their location. Then I read that wa... | |
| Room treatment can be addictive OP, I'm lucky as well. While my partner gives me grief about my system... she is really supportive. She has seen me work for 70 - 80 hours for forty years and knows I earned my indulgences. | |

| How hot is too hot? I agree. I'm 72... I'll leave this one to you young whipper snappers. I've been explaining, defending, and voting to recognize climate change for over thirty years. Seems denial continues and builds in the face of conclusive evidence. | |
| Odd DAC Pricing I'd be suspicious as well. | |
| Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts? Randomly throwing two high end brands together is irresponsible and very unlikely to be cost effective. Different house sounds are very different, and often not complimentary. The only point to going to a dealer is to gain knowledge and guidance i... | |
| How hot is too hot? Wow 78 degrees F. Both my partner and I wilt over 70. | |
| NOS EL34 becoming extinct I would think that how contemporary EL34 tubes sounded in the unit would be one of the design elements in a very well crafted contemporary design. If you build a tube amp with a contemporary tube and change all the other design parameters to opti... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers Assuming all things being equal, yes, significant differences. Most good quality streamers do not have a DAC. They are simply stand alone. If you have a good DAC you don't want to buy one with the DAC function. You want all the effort and cost to ... | |
| The Expectation Gap We are all different. What you describe does not happen to me. I always swap back in the old after some time goes by. Just one of the ways I try to verify my assessments Almost always it confirms my initial appraisal... usually it is more pronoun... |
