| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) In my opinion we will look back and see all is good. Relatively short period of time needed to sort this out for the good of us all. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Ha! Well I still buy and sell and others will. Just doing it far less. It is a matter of degree. We all agree the number of Aphiles is small. If we are buying 50% less often, then….. We older folks still need to unload extra gear while we slow do... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) I don’t think uncertainty is as big of a factor as some suggest. The audiophile population is aging and passing on. Part of aging is losing the desire to regularly buy and sell heavy and expensive gear. I am now 63 and am not as interested in goin... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? I agree there is probably no “bad” dac for audio enthusiasts in general. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @lanx0003 my point seems to have been lost on you. The ASR review has nothing to do with my point. ASR reviews of Benchmark and Topping dacs are stellar, but they sound bad to my ears and in my system. This supports my point all the more. I am t... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? Most likely the OP’s question misses the more important question and reality for us Audiophiles. Couple of things to consider. First, a dac cannot play music in your home all by itself as it is part of a complete audio system. Second, what sounds ... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring If one has direct experience using all manner of crossover part brands and quality tiers as well as hook up wire, then they will know what each change will bring sonically. OP feel free to reach out to me regarding bulk hook up wire and your opti... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring I took the time to look at your speaker’s crossover online and the builder makes both access and visibility of parts very easy! He did a very nice job on the design and cabinet. The parts quality changed over time with this speaker as can be seen ... | |
| Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar I owned the Zen, then Zenith 3 and recently upgraded to the Pulsar. The Pulsar is a significant step up from the Zenith 3 sonically. Based on my experience with Innuos each time you upgrade you really do experience a nice sonic improvement. | |
| Danny Richie of GR Research describes and explains how he designs loudspeakers. I liked the end where he explains how he designs his crossovers. Very interesting to me. | |
| AXPONA AND SWAF SOUTHWEST AUDIO FEST WHO IS GOING? Would love to meet yall! Will see you folks at Axpona. Nice if we could put our username on our badges. Perhaps write it in. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? The best speaker I know of near your price range would be the used set of Silverline Bolero speakers for sale in CA. They are fantastic sounding speakers that play full range and beautifully check off the sonic boxes important to you. I think the ... | |
| Roberta Flack What a voice! Just a beautiful singer. Sad news and lovely woman. Listening to her QUIET FIRE recording as I type. | |
| any members in Montana Thanks for the clarification. We are planning a trip to Bozeman and was curious about the statement. I don’t know Montana at all, but Bozeman looks interesting. | |
| any members in Montana “Missoula is not your typical Montana town. ” Curious what this means? Thanks |
