| Burt Reynolds has passed away I saw that and so sad he was always one of my favorites growing up. I loved the Smokey and the Bandit movies as a kid. Seemed like a super nice genuine guy too RIP. | |
| Another amateur in need of advice @cleanshirt Are there any dealers near you? I spent a lot of years buying used gear here flipping moving onto the next thing. After years of bringing stuff into my local dealer to repair and listening I came to realize had I gone there first taken... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini sporadic crackling/static on co axial output. It’s funny you mention this I’ve had my Mini for a few years now and always used the RCA coax outputs. Never had a problem until recently with very occasional static-y sounds usually when I’ve been playing it for a long time. But maybe like once o... | |
| Does Roon sound better? @mayoradamwest The OP isn't streaming Tidal direct his Altair uses the Lightning DS app which I mentioned in my post. So a comparison of Roon to that app and others makes perfect sense. Great nickname btw. | |
| MoFi Turntables I heard one at Cap AudioFest and was unimpressed. Last time I was at Deja Vu Audio they had one there a customer had brought in, said they didn't think it sounded very good either. | |
| Does Roon sound better? I posted over on the Auralic forums what people thought about Roon versus Lightning DS. For the most part folks said soundwise they were equivalent or Lightning DS sounded better. Roon was deemed better for organization and particularly integratin... | |

| Spare Bryston B60 for headphones, or 2nd system? This is from the B60 manual, the B60 was my first piece of high end gear when I was first starting out nice integrated. "There is a quarter inch stereo (3 conductor) head-phone jack available on the front panel of the Bryston B60 integrated amplif... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? @orpheus10 What are the odds I looked at the pic of your deck, nice looking deck btw, and there is one listed! Looks like a good buy for $550 if I was in the market I might snap it up.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis93faf-sony-tc-ka3es-tape-d... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Audio Note. | |
| Reasonably Priced 6CA7 NOS (or even good used old stock) Tubes Available Anywhere? My favorite EL34 type is the Genalex Gold Lion KT-77 reproductions. Fantastic sounding tubes top to bottom and around $200 a quad or less. Highly recommended! | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? Back in the late 90s I used to go into Gifted Listener Audio in Centreville VA and just stand there and ogle the Tandberg 3014 they had on display. I even dragged my buddy in to ogle it with me once. Whatever they wanted for it was far beyond my m... | |
