More on XLR vs RCA considerations? Don't even think about it. Go XLR all the way!!! Happy listening. | |
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 |
