| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Never! As long as the money philes believe that spending more equates to ever-increasing sound quality. There will always be a new uber-expensive DAC for TAS to review! | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Compared to solid-state devices tubes are costly to manufacture. They have a limited lifespan. Anything a tube can do a transistor can do better. | |
| Infinity IRS BETA They thrive on power! | |
| Hideaki Nishikawa Founder of TechDAS Passed Away Technology in the service of ART by a true innovator! | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? I think the OP is mistakenly ascribing personality to the 45, 2A3 and 300B valves. What matters more is the circuit design and parts used. I have a 45 SET custom-built by Will Vincent (autospec) on an ST70 chassis that turned out beautiful! Plus a... | |
| Linn LP12 & Miyajima Madake or ? @rauliruegas : +1! Best-bang-for-buck would be the Kandid cartridge! I am an LP12 owner and have always been skeptical of Linn's touting of these increasingly expensive upgrades. | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? NO! | |
| Let the Games Begin I asked ChatGPT to compose a response to Debunking the Digital Audio Myth. I asked that it be written in the style of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Lo and behold ChatGPT did this instantly! My college English Lit professor would have been impressed... | |
| Klipsch Cornwalls vs. JBL L110 speakers with McIntosh MC2205 JBL fan and owner here! So you know what I could say! Don't change the L110 woofers! That will alter the voicing - and probably not in a good way! They come from the Ed May era! Why choose the 2205 amp? That is a rather long-in-the-tooth design! T... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming I am awaiting the arrival of the Beatles Abbey Road 50th Anniversary edition LP! This I couldn't pass up! The late Art Dudley gave it a two thumbs up! | |
| Let the Games Begin Let's hear from ChatGPT's take on this weighty topic with a reply written in the style of Milton's Paradise Lost! | |
| Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers What, no VPI Magic Bricks? | |
| Cambridge CXC > Audiolab 6000CDT > Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2! Sighted bias especially with the expectation of hearing an improvement! Try blind listening in a dark room. Otherwise it's an anecdotal blurb for the mfgr's web site! | |
| New CD Player @thyname : no need to throw shade! My Marantz CD67 died recently. I will buy and install a new laser. I have not yet unpacked the Samsung DVD HD841. Anyway, I have several more working CD and DVD players on hand. I actually do have way too much tu... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback The OP could try to find on the used marketplace a SpectroAcoustics preamp. Then get rid of the iFi and Schiit. One could probably be found for around $200 on, say, USAM. |
