| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Agreed streaming and subscription services is indeed the future. For me now. Love Tidal with Roon. | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings I did not like the Devialet that much and sold after 1 month of ownership. It was ok, but nothing special. I would not use it as an example of the best this technology has to offer. My Lyngdorf 2170 is much better and only $4000 or so. It comes wi... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Big kudos for Robert of Acoustic Zen who has responded to my email questions and helped me. Nice man willing to help a DIY pain in the rear like me:) | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I love this quote....can I use it?"We do the difficult with ease, the impossible takes longer" | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Good question John. It has hurt and will continue to hurt vinyl. The latest hipster fad for turntables is a fad and will fade away. Steaming, Tidal, Roon, one box digital solutions etc... are absolutely eating away from vinyl, cds and the like. No... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? I haven't even mentioned the 8 other caps in each speaker! Values up to 68uf and 100 uf. Well then there are the 14 resistors. Dont even talk about the scores of inductors.I agree Charles it is amazing how good they sound with all these parts. Ro... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Need to purchase 5.6uf and 22uf caps for each speaker in addition to the 12uf, 6.8uf, and 4.7uf caps mentioned above. I will now have to devise a way to load these much larger parts on a board that fits.... | |
| Western Electric Cloth copper 3M 16GA Wire for IC's I have not heard this, but yes indeed it would be ideal for speaker cable. I have long runs and use more than lower power tube amps unlike Jeff Day. I do think many of our systems would benefit from the thicker gauge Duelund. | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings We are in the digital age and innovation has already given us phones, computers, iPads, etc... that are smaller, more lightweight, and much more powerful in their usefulness. This is also happening in audio and is inevitable. It will take time, bu... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Yes indeed the times they are a changing and heavy amps will indeed be a thing of the past very soon. Class D and digital amps have indeed arrived and are spectacular. Very exciting times. They will only get better and that is exciting. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... John, we have indeed! Scores of professional reviewers, builders, and actual audiophile/music lovers have all heard the wonderful improvement. Hundreds if not thousands of us mere mortals! How they work has been explained here and elsewhere. They ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Thanks Charles! For you Crescendo owners this is not an upgrade for the timid. Getting the crossover board out is tight and requires patience. Not enough extra length or slack on the driver connections makes it difficult. Tight space!Once it was o... | |
| Western Electric Cloth copper 3M 16GA Wire for IC's I will have to try the new 20ga as I can’t help myself! I have another WE power cord for sale so if you know another person that may want to try one....let them know 😊 Seems very, very few are even interested as they just don't know about this st... | |
| Best standalone music server? Best digital sound I have experienced to date and all at a tap or two on my iPad. I am a happy camper. Neal builds his computers to maximize sound quality, speed, and ease of use. I own the Music Vault II ... | |
| Best standalone music server? Not foolish at all and what I wanted. Call Neal at Sound Science and you will be happy. I wanted to do the same as you, but I am not a computer guy. I hate computers, working with them that is. Did not want a stressful situation with my music play... |
