| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) OK, if you really want to know. So I am dedicated to buying almost everything second hand - yesterday’s upper end. I don’t mind having to wait to live in luxury. I buy off of Craigslist, from Saturday Audio Exchange (Andy is the best), occasional... | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) Some people love music. Some people love gear...at any cost, low or high. For some people, audio is just another way for them to experience (and express) their money. You can pretty easily tell who is who on these forums. | |
| Replaced Everything, New Gears waiting to be installed... Wow, that is quite an amazing amount of gear and I'll bet loads of fun to install. Only comment is that I doubt the tube buffer is going to stick. There is at least a theoretical reason why tubes in an analog stage could be beneficial or to taste... | |
| PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system A couple of thoughts: Y cable is BAD. Before you even consider a new DAC, see if there's a way to connect to multiple systems without doing that. Looks like the SMSL has balanced and single ended outputs. On SOME DACs, using both doesn't degra... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be BTW, my sympathies on having your listening room double as your wife's office. I'd be like "are you done working yet?" at all hours of the day. I hope you have a good headphones setup somewhere else! | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be I totally agree that there's no point in looking at anything else until you get the primary/core gear optimized. Clearly the weak link is the AV Preamp - those are just not optimized for 2 channel and they just can't be. So, I totally agree th... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! But why treat people with disdain for enjoying their systems? Sometimes it is truly disdain, other times it's in the eye of the beholder - i.e. people take offense when none was intended. Depends on whether it's actually an ad hominem attack or... | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? Based on my listening, the streamer/endpoint has more influence on SQ than the server to the point where it seems the server only needs to be competent and reliable. This. Bravo! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Gang of Four entertainment! | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! I replaced all the solid state components in my car with tubes. The road is so much more liquid and smooth now, but man when a tube blows, you gotta hope you're not on the highway. | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Let’s just agree to disagree. This is a good step towards mutual respect and a civil discussion (or lack of any discussion) but I suggest it needs to come with the caveat that if someone makes an unqualified statement (i.e. doesn't portray ... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Once you grow up The irony! | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Confirmation bias, your brain playing tricks on you…all these standard lines are used by those who either 1) can’t hear; 2) never heard and have no experience, and 3) can’t afford to own And this is the standard line used in response to allegat... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now Buying a new router won’t improve sound quality unless you are getting dropouts from a weak connection… |
