| How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer? I was thinking about your question and realized that headphone reviews are all about the equipment you to drive them. So, I went to see your virtual system. Surprisingly, there isn’t one. I would start there. Let’s see it and maybe a summary of ho... | |
| Buying Used Speakers I am more conservative than some. If I purchased used I would purchase from a company like Echo ( I personally know these guys… the are upfront and would never sell anything that was not up to specs) or a local audio dealer. You will still save a ... | |
| Am I right for this forum? @jastralfu I was wondering if anyone would get that. Yeah, I think hearing natural, real instruments from an acoustically good hall will always trump unnatural steely processed sound. Kind of the point… | |
| Am I right for this forum? @immatthew “Unfortunately, sound quality usually improves as the equipment improves, and as the equipment improves it unfortunately usually costs more…” +1 | |
| Am I right for this forum? One key of being an audiophile is the objective. At least in my definition it is to recreate the real musical experience in all respects and in proportion. So, it is not to just create a spectacular sound system. Many people create very flashy sou... | |
| Am I right for this forum? OP, good summary and comment. | |
| Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition? @celtic66 +1 Excellent advice, which to me says, use your brain not your back. If you use your brain there is always a way to move any heavy objects without damaging your back. | |

| Am I right for this forum? Your relative investment is an indicator of dedication, but not the only one. I have known people that do not have large incomes but are fanatical about sound reproduction and dedicate enormous effort to achieving the best possible sound. They are... | |
| Am I right for this forum? You sound like a music lover to me. The definition of an audiophile that I picked up about fifty years ago was someone who is a fanatic to reproduce natural musical sound possible at any cost. It is a disease that results in spending an unbelieva... | |
| Cardas Customer Service is Amazing! Cardas is a great company. Thanks for documenting your experience. | |
| What is the quality and performance level of Fluance turntables?? @noromance You are very correct. I’ll post the same thing I did before, “Turntables are available from under $100 to well over $50,000. In general, you get what you pay for. In the budget range Rega is well respected.” I recommend looking at... | |
| Should I update a vintage 16" broadcast transcription turntable? @mijostyn Yeah, I understand. I think I ended up with something best described as rumble machine in my distant past. Not something you want to listen to. | |
| Coaxial - USB from DAC Not an answer to your question, but a dedicated streamer placed with the rest of your components will likely sound a lot better and solve the problem. You can feed it with a wifi extender and short Ethernet cable to avoid a new problem). My high e... | |
| Should I update a vintage 16" broadcast transcription turntable? @mijostyn …”You will only wind up with a rumble machine.” 😂 that is really funny. |
