| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I completely agree with your three points. Even though I have Qobuz, I much prefer playing my own collection. With around 10,000 CDs, I truly enjoy the process of selecting and playing them. | |
| How to PM someone I’m also using an iPad, and there’s a clear option to send a message from the drop-down menu. | |
| Looking for a CD Player @richardbrand “If you are not interested, stop commenting.” Finally, you’ve done what I was asking from the beginning, instead of pushing your ego-driven word-salad. And, just for you, I’ve added a close-up picture of the unit. | |
| Looking for a CD Player @richardbrand As I mentioned, I am not interested in your assumptions or insinuations. Additionally, it seems you have a reading or comprehension issue. Review my listed equipment, and in the picture, it is on the right side of the lower shelf, ... | |
| Looking for a CD Player @richardbrand Now you’re trying to draw me into an SACD vs. CD argument. It’s not my fault that SACDs aren’t very popular here, especially with streaming readily available. I’m a senior and do own an SACD player (you can look up my system here),... | |
| Looking for a CD Player You don’t need a SACD player or DAC. Instead, consider something currently in production with a strong dealer network. Personally, I recommend the Marantz 50n CD player, priced at $1,800 (the SACD version is $3,000). It’s built like a tank, sounds... | |
| McIntosh purchased by Bose...NOT an April Fool's joke. “Unfortunately, the world is officially in decline.“ …Indeed, it is… I can’t think of anything of this magnitude that could justify the world’s decline… Our entire existence feels unjustifiable after this… | |
| Calling All Tube Gurus I find it hard to believe that Siemens would intentionally make inferior tubes for Amperex, or vice versa. It’s an impossible concept. I have Valvos made by Amperex, and British Brimars made for German Lorenz with the German military hawk symbol o... | |

| Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned. I bought Viborg and Choseal cables from AliExpress a few years ago, and everything went smoothly. The sellers also answered all my questions. | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 After many months of listening to my device with Western Electric 5842 tubes, I switched back to the original Soviet-made 6S45 tubes. I found the 6S45s to be more precise, and the music became more focused. | |
| Integrated amp for 2500-3000 Definitely try the Vincent Audio SV-237MKII Hybrid integrated (150/250) from Audio Advisor. The sound is very enjoyable/musical, and it has a lot of useful features. If you don’t like it, just return it - they have a generous 60-day return policy ... | |
| Vincent Audio tube preamp SA-T7 & SP-332 power amp To Vincent SA-T7 owners - do not substitute the 6S3P-EV tubes with EC86/6CM4 stuff, they’re damaging the preamp. | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @bruce19 It doesn’t really matter whether it was a shill or an unauthorized promoter; they’ll be back after resolving the monetary issue. They’ll never let go of this moneymaking resource.That’s how that particular country usually operates. In an... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread That person is/was a shill, as simple as that. You might disagree, but that won’t change the obvious fact. The shills usually have to pay the owners of the platform they’re using, otherwise they’ll be banned or suspended. I’m pretty sure they’ll b... |
