| iPad Mini as control device for network player Just wondered whether Mini was ENOUGH bigger than phone. Evidently yes. Thanks, fuzztone. | |
| iPad Mini as control device for network player Very good to know. Thanks, latik. | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? The Freya+ is their most popular product. Backordered most of the time. Par for the course and nothing to worry over. What did you expect, Music Direct? If that's your paradigm then it doesn't transfer to Schiit and it's churlish to expect otherwise. | |
| Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile? And everything quoted from Bernstein by mikeydred was a correct assessment at the time and remains so today. Demonstrably. Which is to say, Bernstein was right then and still is.But then I thought this was a question about CB's suspected audiophil... | |
| Does Age Matter? 73. Like everyone of my time, start with vinyl. Never had the stability of lifestyle or resources for R2R, quel dommage, but that's that. Along come cassettes, onto which you create playlists from the LPs for in-house convenience plus portability.... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a network capable DAC/Streamer If you are looking in the Cambridge can price range, look just above to Cambridge Azur 851N. $400 more, built like a tank with a better DAC. | |

| Openning a hi fi shop If Agon had a "like" button, I would "like" what erik_squires and dweller said. Hence, ditto. | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? Yin/Yang. Can't have one without the other. The reality lies in the eternal tension, the inherent fusion. Not a contradiction. The nature of being. Like a chemically inert atom. | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! Loudspeakers transduce electrical energy back to acoustic where the long transduction chain began. Now the HA pick up the sound waves in the air, transduce to electrical, amplify, then retransduce to acoustical. If the loudspeakers are outputting ... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! 18 months ago I got HA for reasons unrelated to audio listening (difficulty distinguishing individual voices in group settings, a common complaint with aging ears). What I found was a shock. Audio system came alive, while in social situations the ... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers Can anyone here compete with vinylvalet? That's off the charts. |
