| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. I completed my retirement system 4 years ago, and it's fabulously firing on all cylinders!!! I have no plans on purchasing anything high end audio for the foreseeable future. I'm in a good place. Happy listening. | |
| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? Senseless spats and disagreements are just a part of life in general. No big deal, especially when it comes to something that’s as non-essential to real life high end audio. Personally, I welcome respectful heated debates and disagreements. Happy... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? In high end audio, one can always find a reason to upgrade, until you upgrade yourself to the moon, LOL!!! Question is, do you feel you need to upgrade? And not if others feel you need to upgrade. Happy listening. | |
| Bose Chucks Mac The problem with Best Buy is that, when they reconfigured all their stores, they really downgraded what the Magnolia HiFi section of the store was all about. Magnolia HiFi used to be treated as a actual specialty high end audio store in Best Buy. ... | |
| JPS Labs Aluminata Power Cable On My Integreated Amp!!! @garebear Hello, I'm the OP and I still absolutely love my JPS Labs Aluminata power cable on my Hegel H590 integrated amp. As for the JPS Labs Aluminata power cables (the original ones) being old technology.....not for me, as it bested every ot... | |
| a rant I reached the point in my audiophile journey that you are in right now about four years ago. At age 65 and now retired, I put my retirement system together then, and now, I'm content for the duration. I've got a great system, I'm tire of dumping... | |
| Speaker or amplifer Based on your described goals, I would definitely go with the Hegel H400 upgrade. The Hegel will give you everything you desire and more!!! | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @jasonbourne71 Why...........of course, Lol!!!! | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @tweak1 Actually, as true or false as it my be, none of what the gentlemen in video stated really makes a hill of beans difference to the average audiophile. This hobby is more about what captures your imagination, illusions, stirs ones emotion ... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @stray_cat Same here!!! Although I had both Qobuz and Tidal, most all my Roon album library collection was Tidal, because I assumed they both sounded too similar to make that much of a difference. Until one day I decided to really take time ou... | |
| My Denafrips Aries 15th has too much mid -bass, anybody else?? @barfbag No, you don’t need to adjust your speaker placement or anything else. If you’re content with the rest of your audio system, you simply need to further experiment with other/different DACs until you find the one that synergizes best with... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead Don't even think about it!!! Go with the monoblocks!!! | |
| Does ROON sound different? Well, I use the dedicated Roon Music Server, the Roon Nucleus Plus (4TB), and it sounds absolutely incredible in my audio system. Happy listening. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? I understand the OP was speaking in general terms. And in general terms, DAC technology/digital/streaming sound quality has greatly advanced over the past 15 years or so. There’s now a ton of great sounding DACs out there on the market to choose f... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @kerrbh Although my preference between the two would be Qobuz, as I believe it more consistently digs just a little bit deeper into the music than Tidal does, I still use and thoroughly enjoy Tidal when a particular album isn’t available on Qobuz... |
