| The Law of Accelerating Returns TAS is the Fox News/CNN of audio publications. A clear agenda outside of reporting on audio. I've never forgiven them for their 4-part series on digital audio where they reported the original file on the hard drive sounded better than a copy on th... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? It all depends on how you like to spend your time. Sometimes I just want to listen, but other times I’m in them mood to explore and tweak. So I have 6 separate means of amplification (monoblocks, solid state power, tube power, classic, newer) 4 s... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? Click click push. There, just changed from sigma delta to NOS DAC. Sounds different. Even my wife sister can hear the difference. | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? I just added a used Gumby and I think it has an enjoyable and interesting sound. IMHO DACs do not sound hugely different from each other, but the R2R NOS sound is definitely a little distinct. I think it's great to switch back and forth between t... | |
| Let me explain something to you jive turkeys. | |
| Best double live vinyl? The Kinks - One For the Road. Although my copy didn’t have enough pot dust in the crease… | |
| Warning for Revel lovers Just adding my sympathies for the frustration. High end isn't always what is advertised or implied. To me this was only about communication, and Revel/Harman/Samsung may not even have a process or department for it. Our Miele built-in refriger... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Do the best you can and then enjoy the gear and the music. How do audiophiles sleep at night suspecting that their system is only 97% of what it could be? How can you stand it? I guess that is Darwinism at play. The happy, satisfied tribe got wip... | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective My $.02: its price to performance. Generally better with used speakers but there may be something you can only get with the new model but you'll pay -- the ratio will be higher. However, I do like that many of y'all just HAVE TO have the newest ... | |

| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? I have a pair. If you're referring to Maggies. I had a similar experience. True active bi-amping made a world of difference on these. I assumed it was because the crossovers are quite old. | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? you likely need a hearing checkup indeed. That or your sources/amplification are not that revealing. Or perhaps I just need to chill out when I see something egregious like this comment yet meaningless in the grand scheme of things. You do rea... | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? Invariably, you’ll encounter some who will claim that Maggies are as detailed as any speaker when powered properly. I’d question the experience level of those who postulate such. My bet is they haven’t heard a good beryllium dome or a RAAL tweete... | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. I think the OP made a good choice in a one box solution. His original dilemma was, not being a digital guy, he needed something simple, but to match the rest of the gear that either meant higher than $2500 budget or going up the learning curve of ... | |
| The problem with streaming Streaming is for lazy people. This is a ridiculous comment to make, even more absurd to be repeated three times. As though deliberately making something more difficult on one's self is a sign of being industrious. And flipping a record isn't... |
