| Ayre QX-5 Twenty @brbrock No sweat sir. Happy listening | |
| Ayre QX-5 Twenty @brbrock As stated, "the Ayre Acoustic QX-5 Twenty streaming DAC is my end-game, forever DAC." I also stated, "I took the QX-5 Twenty DAC home with me, and never looked back." So, yes, I still use and enjoy my Ayre Acoustic QX-5 Twenty stream... | |
| What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate? @ghdprentice I believe that what made high-end audio so very compelling and successful in our day (for decades) was #1: how compelling the music was for all those years. The music (passion) is what actually produces audiophiles, and future audi... | |
| Ayre QX-5 Twenty I’ve owned the phenomenal Ayre Acoustic QX-5 Twenty streaming DAC for about four years now. And all I can tell you is that it’s my end-game, forever DAC. There’s a multitude of great DACs out there on the market today and, obviously, it’s impossib... | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? Why ask why? Who really cares, anyway? Totally irrelevant!!! | |
| What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate? Amongst others, I believe that one critical aspect of why high-end audio, in general, and the number of audiophiles are, and have been for many years now, declining at a rapid pace, is because of the depressing decline in the culture and the quali... | |
| Seeking a Power Conditioner Here's the deal. As with all audio components, there's a million different conditioners/manufacturers out there to choose from. And you can't believe or disbelieve everything people write or say about them. That said, as always, all you can do ... | |
| It's been a long time. I decided to go all digital streaming several years ago, and I've loved every minute of it. Digital (streaming) has come such a long way over the past 15 years or so. I don't miss my old analog and CD set-ups one bit. As a matter of fact, I st... | |
| I Was A Skeptic Now I'm Not So Sure I was once a skeptic. But I learned over 25 years ago how extremely critical cables were to the sound quality of my audio system. And once I switched to a streaming only audio system, I learned very quickly just how critical ethernet cables were t... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @audphile1 I'm not trying to sell anyone on whether or not they should use a power conditioner. Ultimately, every individual audiophile has to find their own way. It's all good in the neighborhood. Happy listening. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @audphile1 Over the years, during the course of my experimentation with power conditioners and power cables, on several occasions, I tried plugging my amps directly into the wall outlets (with and without upgraded aftermarket audiophile wall out... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @audphile1 fyi.....No, the Audioquest Niagara 3000 power conditioner is not considered a power-limiting power conditioner; it is specifically designed to not limit current and even features: "Transient Power Correction" outlets that can provide a... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @immatthewj I wouldn't advise you do that either. Based on my 25 years of experience and experimentation with high end power cables and power conditioners, I found that all things sound better plugged into, not just a power conditioner, but "th... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @immatthewj Then perhaps you should consider going with a new power conditioner that's not hardwired, as it'll offer you more flexibility. Happy listening | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Everything is important!!! Get the best power cable that you can afford to go from your wall socket to your power conditioner. Just that simple. Happy listening. |
