| Audio Mirror Preamplifier I'm having a preamp made for me and the designer is keeping the preamp out for the sub separate, load-wise, from the one going to the amp. | |
| Audio Mirror Preamplifier Interesting to read about this. I wonder if he could make it with an extra set of pre-amp outs. I love having those for my subs. Otherwise, you’d have to use Y-splitters, right? Consider, as a comparison, this similarly priced preamp from Aric Au... | |
| Recommendations please! It's a very well-reviewed preamp, but a remote seems like a good thing to have. Perhaps the Cary SLP-98? | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @ghasley "I miss the good old days when Ike was prez" :-) Gotta love a guy willing to call out the military-industrial complex. I miss that. | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @dekay Did you step on my toes? No. Your concept of "greed" includes someone setting a price for used gear that is higher than what others want to pay. All I’m saying is calling this kind of action "greed" stretches the word beyond useful limit... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change The issue of "attention spans" is a very serious one. The hifi industry is just the tip of an iceberg which threatens humanity. Why? Because distraction and fragmentation are the enemies of a coherent sense of history and memory. We need both of ... | |
| Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review? Ah, the PR/News incest-fest. Toxic sludge...is good for you. | |
| Schiit's solid-state 6SN7 Whatever this product is, specifically, there are a number of things that are true about Schiit -- they try new things, they don't lie, and they don't take themselves too seriously. Their stuff is well made and they have good customer service. | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? "I cannot fathom how greed comes into it at all." But then, I can easily fathom such and wonder what these sellers are basing their asking price on. I cannot fathom what you think "greed" is, then. Take an uncontroversial definition (via Wiki... | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @dekay Some of the sales listings I see are either greed or sellers who are not clear on the concept of value. They are willing to take the risk of an item not selling because they have a price in mind that they want. Who am I to judge that a... | |
| Schiit's solid-state 6SN7 "Solid-state tube replacements aren’t a new idea. However, most of them go on and on about how they sound “just like tubes.” We’re not going to say that. We will say that they sound very good. We will also say they have lower distortion than tubes... | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @curiousjim Thanks. @waytoomuchstuff Anyone who sells below market value is a) not paying attention, b) not very good at 4th grade math, or c) an advocate for the greater good, unselfishly serving humanity. Or... (d) wants to get stuff out ... | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @curiousjim I’ve left three items on the table in the last couple of months because the sellers were asking almost new prices for 2-3 year old DAC’s or Streamers and were unwilling to come down even a few percent. Oh well, their loss. Did t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rough Mix by Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane. | |
| MartinLogan Motion 60 XTi Test The review posted by the OP is virtually unreadable. Terribly written, and in passages even incomprehensible. Untrustworthy. I had these speakers for a two month trial. They sounded quite excellent, though were too bright for my space. I blame my... |
