| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I would flip through the recommendations. You’ll find some that you like, follow that thread and over time your appreciation for the genre will likely expand and expand… and expand. | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? A note, on your list are radically (!) different sounding amps. The Pass will be very natural sounding, and perform as if it has much more power than the specs would suggest. I think it would be an excellent choice to help your system be much more... | |
| Looking for a great cassette deck I was introduced to the high end with a Nakamichi 1000 deck… just blew away all the highly touted competition, then an LX-5 which I bought ~82. And finally the Dragon… definitely, get a Dragon. | |
| The end of physical media is neigh Not to be argumentative, but... Well sort of. When you "own"... you do not really. You must pay property taxes and maintenance on the house. You become a slave to your stuff in some ways. If you own physical stuff, then you have to store it, it c... | |
| Starting my showroom again I love your enthusiasm. But it doesn't sound viable. If you want to start up a business you would have to start on the internet (maybe)... get some income from home and without expenses. Then maybe add a little showroom in your house. As I type th... | |

| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC @boltapuresource An audiophile DAC goes well beyond just getting the major sounds right. It is highly refined. So the thsss of a drumstick hitting a cymbal sounds like brass. the highly complex sound of a trumpet or sax has the full complexit... | |
| ??? New Streaming Service??? What Do I Get??? Qobuz and nearly as good Tidal, offers audiophile sound quality The better your equipment the better they will sound up to the maximum of the format. So, for me Red Book CDs sound exactly the same streamed as they do as stored files or on CDs. On ... | |
| Streamers and software Look for a used Aurender. Conductor app is great, built like tanks, outstanding sound quality. | |
| Other High End Audio Forums audioafficianado. This has a great collection of folks with very high end systems and knowledge. It is actively moderated and is only for audiophiles... so there are no discussions of whether cables make a difference. Rudeness is also not tol... | |
| If a tree falls in the forest… Wish I was nearby, unfortunately you are on the right coast and I am on the left. Have you updated photos of your system? I suspect you have modified it since the photo. If that is the way it looks today, I can think of some suggestions. | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC There has been a lot of improvement. And to some degree, progress has stabilized... as you can now get far more DACs that perform at the level as analog. However, build quality and detailed design still separate very good sounding from great sound... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? I check out the back of Stereophile and The Absolute Sound. Some of my audiogon buddies have made some outstanding recommendations. I listen to some of the internet radio stations on Qobuz. I check out the new releases on Qobuz. I check out the di... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? @lalitk @whart +1 As a music lover I am not looking for “ forensic” listening or a microscope to examine the fine details and loose track of the music. Another thought about highlighted details, they can commandeer your focus of attention. I... |
