| Quick USB question @larry5729 No question better quality streamers make a huge difference… limited by how good your DAC and rest of your system is. I have probably used a dozen different streamers over the last twenty years and finally started getting audiophil... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value I think my answer is yes. I have been dedicated to pursuing high end audio for 50 years… since in college. I swapped quite a few preamps, phono stages… then CD players when they came out in the beginning. Then, I’m thinking I have done five whole... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp OP, On Sonus Faber… the older… say more than 10 - 15 years tend to be warm. Today’s Sonus Faber, I am uncomfortable using the word dark. They are very natural and organic. But I would not call their sound cool, lean, or highlighting details. ... | |

| How Do I Choose A Phono Preamp @holmz The Dude Abides. | |
| Levinson 380S vs Boulder 810 My experience has been that Levinson and Boulder generally have similar sounds. To me too clinical… not very musical. I bought my first piece of Audio Research gear 40 years ago. Over the ensuing decades have acquired all ARC reference gear. My sy... |
