| Audiophile Equipment Repair? output555, here in Williamsburg, just down the road from you. Our local guy is an arrogant bastard, but endearingly so. He'll first tell you that you can't afford him, also tell you it will be several months - while his wife is giving you a nod b... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu I saw the Popori WR1 electrostatic speakers at the Capital Audio Fest. These were no joke, would love to find those under my tree (or next to it...). Would be a blast to see how they do in my room. Currently very happy with my setup as is. Was exp... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I was in your shoes 2 years ago. I was looking at going with a McIntosh Hybrid Integrated amp. I went to Richmond to listen to it and it really didn’t do it for me. They had a pair of Mc275’s that we hooked up and it was more my taste, but brought... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I ripped every CD I own to my Bluesound Vault. I packed the Cd's in a box and they now live in my attic. I still purchase Cd's, some stuff you have to own...and I just can't get past the habit. I have Spotify and qobuz for streaming also. Doing my... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Stanton Moore Fly'n the Coop is really fun, so is David Grisman Quintet Live at Jazz Alley. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Just listen to Rush. You want Jazz, parts of Caress of Steel have a jazzy feel. | |
| Room is way too bright. I had a similar issue. My listening room is 16' wide by 33' long. It is an "A" frame with 12:12 pitch and no truss cross members. each end of the "A" frame is all glass. The floors are Oak Hardwood and the ceiling is Cedar planks. We have a large ... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? subscribe to a magazine that covers the music you listen to. The writers will introduce to the younger, newer versions of what you currently listen to. It will open your eyes to what is out there. | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Great topic! I think that the beauty is in the sound, so give me a big ugly, if it sounds great, the appearance will be more acceptable, I actually painted my transformers on my monoblocks Islanders colors. They still sound awesome! | |
| Help me identify an amp Tubes for Hifi makes the kit similar to these amps called the VTA ST-70. Also have a ST-120 version. All their stuff are modifications to the original Dynaco gear. I’m sure they could help you source any parts you need to replace and also help dia... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment I'm Jealous, but happy for you. I'm running B&W 702 S2's with a pair of B&W DB4s subs. Yours are their flagship with the dual 12" drivers and 2,000w to drive them. I was thinking of getting one of your DB1D's instead of the dual DB4s's, b... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... I miss Oldsmobile, I'm finishing restoring my IH Scout II, next will be a 1968 Olds Cutlass Convertible - love that car. I'm also looking for a turntable, have an old Dual, thinking of getting a VPI. I'm not done with this hobby either. | |
| Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th? They had the LTA Aero's set up for headphone listening at Capital Audio Fest. Also had it integrated into a system with massive planar speakers. Sound was very smooth. I was also there to check out the Geshelli Dayzee - reviews of this put it up t... | |
| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! @mfili35 Volkswagen is also making the new Scout, and missing the boat altogether. They bought the brand to compete in the "rugged off road SUV" market which currently consists of Jeep, Bronco, Defender, 4-runner and similar. The Iconic versions ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? heading to Capital Audiofest this weekend and plan on auditioning several DACs. Not sure the Yggy will be there, but do know Geshelli Labs will be there, very interested in hearing the different versions of their Dayzee. I've been researching the ... |
