| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Ocean Digital WR 10 Digital Tuner. I bought it to dip my toe into the world of Internet Radio. It was becoming impossible to get even a clean mono signal from WQXR in NYC ( yes it's a shitty 710 watt classical station) But there was a time when ... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? A good SACD player matched with the insanely wonderful Japanese single layer pressings ( and those 7" mini albums!!!) are just 2 very good reasons to still invest in that format. Plus you will never get laid with a streamer... now a wonderful McC... | |

| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music Magnepan's! just make sure your amp is capable. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? Yes you can! They will do barter deals for ammo etc. Most dealers prefer NATO rounds but will usually take 223 as well. | |
| Is this a scam? What they all said. report him to Pay Pal too! | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Magnepan 1.7i - 65.5 inches tall BUT only 2 inches wide ! : ) | |
| Why is used audio equipment so undesirable? I mostly buy used, never had a problem. Don't be afraid. Plenty of great bargains especially from those types chasing the "latest and greatest" I bought an Opera tube SACD player MINT with box and manual etc from a very well off individual. The u... | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Why bother, really. Clicks and pops, poor new pressing, digitally recored music transferred to plastic? Whats the point. If you need to see something go round and round go open reel. Much sexier than a Thorens. | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Kora Hermes,NOS dual tube output. A gorgeous sounding piece of gear. Switchable output gain 2v/5v great for people with passive pre-amps, like me. And the fun of tube rolling. I love mine. Almost bought an Audio Mirror until I saw the "under the ... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I have output meters so it's fun to watch.Kind of like the campfire. When I had a tube amp it was a must see, like having a fireplace. That said my Subaru SVX had a cover for the in dash music system and it was very cool to have the music coming ... | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Clicks and Pops, poorly produced new vinyl, poor storage medium. Every time you play it you degrade the record, permanently, especially with the low priced cart that will end up on the end of your arm. And whats the point of new releases digital... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables I love my Jelly Fish Hospital Grade green dot, but it doesn't cost enough for you to consider. I have a SMC Audio GT 22 + with many,many upgrades ( Hence the +) but spend more and be happy!!! | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. Get a tube based DAC and stop fooling around with that Thomas Edison gear. | |
