| Is it worth it? DAC question You’re likely to get a meaningful upgrade with the iFi, but you’ll likely need a decent SPDIF digital cable to run from the Node to the DAC to be able to realize the advantages. I recommend ignoring advice from anyone who has speaker cables tha... | |
| Does anyone repair.... We can repair, upgrade, modify any audio component. We are in New Jersey. He posted because he is looking for someone close to New Orleans, not New Jersey | |
| Does anyone repair.... There is no pricetag on happiness ! Really, ?? You suggest spend whatever it takes to try and restore a worn out console with a mediocre turntable that is probably eating up the records, possibly dried out speakers, and questionable electroni... | |
| Does anyone repair.... Had a buzz for years, now it is much louder The electrolytic capacitors dry out and lose capacitance over time. Not a matter of if, it is when, and yours is waaaay past when. As that happens the amp starts to buzz and hum getting it restored i... | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? can someone explain this?? A 1988-1996 car CD Player that sounded better than all of the 24 bit processor CD Players: The Alpine 7909. I don’t think a poll conducted 15 years ago which appears to be confined to car stereos is really relevant to... | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? "Most people who disparage Atmos Music have not heard it properly set up end of story" That's fanciful speculation. Perhaps... but how many people do you know who have an Atmos system with at least 5 bed level speakers and 4 overhead? How man... | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? MQA was a flop. For better or worse. I expect to see Atmos follow suit. Atmos is the industry standard for movies. It is not going away. Apple and Amazon have embraced it for audio. It is not going away. Most people who heard MQA on a prope... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At no way I’m going to read all of that and try to digest it, but good luck with whatever you are trying to accomplish moving on | |
| TRAVELING TO JAPAN! Recommendations for shops for cartridges? i do have a phono stage that can handle lower compliance Compliance of the cartridge is related to how it interacts with your tonearm, not the phono stage. If you have a mismatch between cartridge compliance and the effective mass of the arm ... | |
| TRAVELING TO JAPAN! Recommendations for shops for cartridges? so back to the original question. You also need to consider the compliance of your arm. You say you are using MM cartridges so do you have a phono stage that can handle the moving coils some are recommending? If the phono stage can take an MC, d... | |
| TRAVELING TO JAPAN! Recommendations for shops for cartridges? And yet, the vast majority of all cartridges are made in Japan or elsewhere in Asia, Do you have any data or just guessing? I'm going with guessing. Ortofon is the largest in the world Rega is made in the UK BUT... this debate is really p... | |
| TRAVELING TO JAPAN! Recommendations for shops for cartridges? .. the vast majority of all cartridges are made in Japan or elsewhere in Asia. In fact, Grado is the only exception I can think of, even assuming Grado cartridges are made in USA ... Benz Micro are made in Switzerland Clearaudio are made in... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". I saw Miles Davis on David Sanborn’s TV show Sunday Night Music on NBC. This was near the end of Miles’s life. The backing band was The Red Hot Chili Peppers! I kid you not! How the mighty have fallen! How our memories are fallible. I just watc... | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? I’d never pay for the Blue Book when HiFi shark can show me a very long history of item sales -- not what they *should* be priced at, but what historically they have sold for. That is simply incorrect. HiFi Shark searches the web for listings. ... | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? ’reliable’ is as reliable as we choose to make it - that really makes no sense. It is only as reliable as the data and "we" have no choices in that Something could be sold out desperation, it could be sold as scrap, it could be pristine with ... |
