| Lumin U1 or Bryston Bdp2 @mahler123 I've found that I''m reorganizing albums via Playlists in Bipolar Bison (that is funny). This is something I might complete in about five years and I don't know if there's a limit to how many Playlists I'm able to create. Anyway, this m... | |
| Lumin U1 or Bryston Bdp2 The BDP 3 has a sound card and the Pi does not but the Pi and the 3 both use the same processor. I would guess that much of the filtering is the same. If I'm not mistaken, the BDP 3 runs the Roon signal through its processor for a better sounding ... | |
| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? @lanceman1 It might be possible to modify the 57's to charge faster but even if it were possible, there might side affects that render it too risky. And now that I remember it, Music Direct who was the USA distributor of Quad Audio and supplier of... | |
| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? Sorry I got here late and the repair decisions have already been made but Russ Knotts at ESL Repair in Chardon, Ohio has replaced a number of panels in my 2905’s. It might be hard to persuade him to do future work on Quads as he’s getting a bit fu... | |
| Can cables have a shelf life? I have older HiDiamond cables that sound very good. According to electricians, copper cable has a life span of around sixty to eighty five years. However, I live in a house built in the later 1800’s with tube and knob wiring and everything sounds ... | |

| New mat for Rega P6? @smatsui I tried using the Way Excellent II on a Clear Audio with an acrylic platter. There was no difference between the mat and the platter. However, different tables could render different results. | |
| Monstrous power cables I've been told that the primary objective in cable design is to reduce resistance. | |
| New mat for Rega P6? I have a Herbie's Way Excellent II but Herbie's makes a different mat more suitable for acrylic platters called the Grungebuster. I believe the Rega has an acrylic platter, so the Grungebuster might improve sonics but I doubt you would notice any ... | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? Most audiophiles aren’t so wealthy that price is no object. We envision ourselves with something better but we must consider the costs. Those who fall into a petty bourgeoisie class structure can be the most vulnerable. It’s definitely a strange d... | |
| Vintage versus New @johnk fastinating reading, thanks! I’m not ready to put anything together now but am willing to learn nonetheless. @elliottbnewcombjr thanks for posting and thanks for the photos. I suppose this topic could have been better categorized under Vin... | |
| Vintage versus New @jasonbourne52 many of these manufacturers no longer make high end speakers so yes, there value should increase. Besides the 57's which ones do you prefer? | |
| Vintage versus New @mofojo the various materials available today especially. | |
| Vintage versus New @audition__audio yeah, I really like the 57's a lot but they are too lacking in bass. If I had 57's, I'd want to create a stack. |
