| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? I think a number of people on this thread have imagined a chip on my shoulder that really isn't there. I would have thought that when I admitted that I didn't have enough direct experience of their products to make a judgment (i.e., two headphone ... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? When I spoke of workmanship and material I was thinking of discount store merchandise, not Schiit's products. It seems anyway that the voting here leans towards "good for the money". | |
| Best double live vinyl? Not a double and not remotely the best live album, but I was rather taken by the live album that was the second disc of Everybody's in Showbiz by the Kinks. Ray Davies is clearly plastered and the rest of the band isn't far behind, and there's jus... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Because we have heard it with our own ears so many times it has become commonplace to us, but it is in truth quite miraculous that you can send an electrical impulse (or whatever it is) through a wire from one box into two other boxes and the soun... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? Perhaps older people are just more likely to buy physical media? If it's streaming on a subscription model and people could be listening to anything they want, well, that's sort of a judgment on contemporary music, isn't it? | |

| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II The bright side of your failed experiment is that Ares II has great resale value. | |

| What does the word audiogon even mean? Audigon is a trademark, or to give the subspecies, a service mark. The purpose of a service mark is to identify the source of the services being offered. The strongest type of trademark is completely arbitrary. A valid trademark cannot describe an... | |
| Underpowered? Reading all this discussion makes it all the more clear that the gear is as much an instrument in the music you listen to at home as anything that's recorded on a given disc. Talk about transparency or neutrality or specifications is kind of bunk.... | |
| What a pile of Schiit It's like things you buy at Walmart or Target - it's good for what you're paying. | |
| Beautiful listening rooms What are those Dr. Seuss speakers in the third picture? | |
| amplifier longevity What I have found as a general rule is that if you can afford it, it pays to buy quality. One characteristic of equipment that sells for premium prices is that it will have quality parts. Or rather, bargain products need to compromise on the quali... | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. I think there are two of kinds sound equipment enthusiasts, automobile buyers and hobbyists. To automobile buyers sound equipment is an appliance. You buy the best your income allows and drive it until your income improves or you get tired of look... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) And so right you are axpert. I can tell right now from absolutely no information how I would have trolled you on all the lame gear you were going to recommend. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Grease Stain, that's what it would be. Awww, who am ... |
