| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @jpwarren58 No worries. He's too busy and I'm the one much more into this hobby, but he cares about sound. Just cannot invest the time in the details and he trusts me -- and I trust the best opinions on this forum. All good. And thanks for your j... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @jjss49 Thanks for experience with P.S. Audio. For $6k, new, I think my friend would rather get both streamer and DAC without needing addition hardware, software, or other complications. Pass on this product.@jpwarren58 My friend is almost 50 and... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? Recent posters, the general life advice is appreciated, but he really wants an answer to the question as posed to make his decision. If you don't think it's answerable as posed, he'd appreciate knowing why. | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @speakermaster Interesting. Do you have an opinion on the question of which in that price range would sound better? | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? The ps audio unit is $6k. Is it a DAC only or does it include a streamer? The top of the price range is $6k, so this is a make or break question relating to that suggestion. Thanks. | |

| Would you Upgrade? +1 @chayro When I made a choice of speakers, I tried out a number of options in home: Dynaudio, Martin Logan, Fritz Speakers, Focal, and finally Salk (which I kept). These speakers were fabulous, but not all worked in my space. Thank goodness I li... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? UPDATE: I've had great success with some DIY OC 703 panels that I made into 2" and 4" panels. Thing is, they cost nearly $110 to buy (6 of them) and shipping was 40% of the cost! I was in Home Depot yesterday, and they don't carry these panels.I'm... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @jjss49 streamed music (using proper tidal, qobuz or other suitable lossless service) is absolutely able to deliver music at a superb quality into a well chosen downstream system ... to a point where the emotion-stirring nature of well recorded co... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @sbank I have discussed these various user experience factors with my friend and he has an equal appetite for either way of listening to music. What he would like to know is whether he should spend his money on digital or analog in the four to $6... | |

| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @feldmen4 Glad you liked the description. Not only do I see this in my kids, I see it competing within me. Warring impulses -- slow vs. quick. I have a Node 2i. Because I'm on the verge on spending on room treatment stuff, I'm a bit shy about upg... | |
