| Job preamp released Hmmm...very tempting. I've been waiting for someone to make a minimalist high end preamp that still has a remote. Price is great too. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? My response to a few good points above...Yeah, high end stereo stores suck. They will die off completely over time. Online is the future source if all high end audio. 5 years ago it was hard to buy any high end audio online. Now there's lots of it... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? "All I can think is ... if you can't hear it then maybe your system isn't as resolving as you think"Maybe you're right but maybe your wrong and it's all in your head and you just happen to be a person that's easily duped? Could be, that's all I'm ... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? Dragon I completely agree with you. My point is not whether or not the sonic differences are real my point is that we don't know for sure and that there is a possibility that we can be fooled or deceived by our ears. Since this is true, I like to ... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? Zd,Really, you want proof that audiophiles are easily fooled into believing in phantom sonic improvements? That's amusing. How about some proof that you can really hear the improvements from cable burn in? If any existed it would be the high end n... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? Is an audiophiles aural memory infallible? Of course not. Therefore the differences you think you are hearing could easily not be real.

What it comes down to IMO is that with high end audio it's extremely easy to be self deluded. This is due to the simple fact that our ability to perceive sound with utter ... | |
| Interstin - New Jack White LP Musical genius IMO. One of the few artists that I will buy unheard. Waiting to receive my preordered copy. I know it will be superb. Man doesn't make anything but. | |
| Anne Bisson Blue Mind LP, is it all that we think? OMG, audiophile recordings. What drivel. If they play it at audiophile shows its typically crap. Why own a great system and not play great music? Pathetic is what it is. | |
| Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system Like others here, have tried using multiple high end DACs as preamps and always end up liking a preamp in the loop better. Sound is better in almost every way with a very good preamp. Surprisingly even transparency is better. I cannot explain it. ... | |
| Benchmark DAC2 HGC Long time benchmark fan here. I positively loved my years with the DAC1 pre. However, having tried the DAC2 twice now, I have to say that I think they lost some of their mojo with the DAC2. The thing that made the DAC1 a true "benchmark" for all D... | |
| Help me buy my next DAC The rotel RDD-1580 DAC just got a pretty over the top rave review by TAS. Sells for just $800 brand new and looks like a million bucks. In the under $1k range I'd be looking at that. If you step up to $3k-ish I'd be looking at the new femto wyred4... | |
| Audiophile newbie Listen up. I will actually answer your question. I've owned dozens of high end components and listened to hundreds. Buy an all NAD system. NAD makes electronics. For speakers I would buy Monitor Audio RX6 or Silver6. This will give you an entry le... | |
| PMC OB1i feedback Yes. The 24s are fantastic speakers but they are slightly more forward sounding. I prefer the ob1i to the 24 especially for rock. |
