| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries I am so engulfed in new and amazing music it is hard to listen to relisten to anything. I just add to my library and go on...then find more. I loved Jazz, world, classical, rock, and electronic before streaming. So, often looking at new release... | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? @tony1954 Good one. | |
| Old SS amps They are excellent to use as a trade-in. If a classic, sometimes you can get back nearly as much as you paid for it. I had a Pass X350 which I got all but $500 back after nearly 20 years. What a great investment. I got a significant trade-in... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Jan and Dean 1964, Chicago, I was 12. | |
| Threshold S/300 STASIS problem with on off swicht @unsound You are right... that is what it felt like. It was sloppy, then flipped very solidly. I never thought of that. | |
| CJ Premier 11 amp versus PrimaLuna EV 300 I am a big fan of Conrad Johnson and have heard it a lot and many of my friends own it. I own Prima Luna. In general it is not in the same league... although the CJ amp you are using is very old. Personally, and I like musical equipment would be... | |
| What do folks do with old SMPSs? Wall warts? I toss them. | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? Sure does look like a tone arm. | |

| New electrical wiring specifications I went down the 10/3 Romex route, std 15amp breakers. You can get special audio grade wire, which I am sure gets expensive quick. I did two circuits (I am using a stereo amp). This made a very significant improvement, very cost effective at around... | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI @fburkeen Thank you for sharing your experience. I've often found it valuable on audio topics. AI is an incredible tool and is great fun learning its strengths and weaknesses. I have been employing it in more philosophy / forest and trees t... | |
| Threshold S/300 STASIS problem with on off swicht When I bought my Threshold s/500 in 1979 (?) the switch was always pretty sloppy. But it worked for fifteen year. Not surprising some may have failed. | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals @audphile1 +1 Exactly. I have to say the same stuff... hopefully differently. 1) is the big problem. The second is reducing the fidelity. 1) There are two ways to do streaming with your Streamer / DAC. One is to "catch" the streaming service ... | |
| turntable/cartridge setup Thanks. It is great to hear about folks' experiences like this. I for one am not someone that should be trusted to touch a turntable. So, my dealer does it. He is a fanatic and loves it. But if you don't have a dealer who will do it as a part of y... |
