| Sound quality differences in streamers What a fantastic conversation this is, As an analog die-hard I appreciate the lack of histrionics and the presence of good natured disagreements. This is how it should be. | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Love this forum, although I am firmly against deleting messages. We should let everyone see the "warts and all" thoughts of our more poorly informed denizens. | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? Same here. I like Return of the Grevious Angel - Gram Parsons tribute | |
| Critical listening and altered states I am happy this thread has resurrected itself, lots of cool info and thoughts here. Also got a good laugh out of the squares using the word "pothead" perjoratively! Thanks Sgt. Friday! | |
| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! Class D "sucks" just as often as class A, class A/B, so on and so forth. It's about design and implementation. This is similar to the vinyl/CD/streaming conversation - no universally "right" answer. | |

| What artists can you not get enough of? @slaw You're the One? That album and Freedom Highway are spun regularly in our house. She's fantastic. We had a chance to see The Carolina Chocolate Drops back in the day and boy do I wish they'd tour as a group again. | |
| Dedicated headphone amp vs Headphone socket on amp @mahgister, I use a Sanui Six receiver to power a pair of Stax SR-Lamdas (manufactured in 1978!) that have been my daily drivers for over four decades. They are easily the longest lasting gear in my system and I live in constant fear of them dyi... | |
| GaN FET Amps vs. Traditional Class D Amps I've been using a Classe CA-D200 class D amp for years. I don't know which "type" it is, but I've been very happy with it in my main system. I admit I haven't auditioned anything else in a long long time (I was using a B&K amp before the Cla... | |

| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Love meatloaf, both the overblown singer and the foodstuff. I will be trying the chipotle tweak the next time I whip up a loaf. | |
| a rant I've listened to demos of the Baach products on three separate occasions, and was thoroughly unimpressed each time. It just sounds phasey and overly processed to me, not natural at all. I have not met or spoken to anyone else who wasn't completel... |
