| Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts? Putting components together randomly, whether high end or not, is certainly not calculated to get the best results. Beyond that, hearing is so subjective it’s hard to say more. As you said, you don’t like the Sonos Macintosh match but obviously a ... | |
| What is a "reference" system? I think in its purest context, the phrase reference system simply means one with which the listener is very familiar and that can be used for easy comparison. ” what’s the word? Thunderbird. How is it sold? Good and cold. What’s the price? $.50 t... | |

| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget Another for your consideration. T+A Caruso S5 I’ve heard these and I was very impressed. Makes a lot of base and a good, transparent sound. Price should be right. | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? Money is relative. $50,000 is a lot of money to me, but to some people it really is not. so if I try to analyze their buying decision (and why would I even do that?)based on my perspective on money, I start from a flawed premise and will reach a f... | |
| Music streaming +1 @soix I have both and like Qobuz, but you won't likely notice much difference. Look at the music library and the interface that suits you best. Amazing that we have all that music at CD quality or better for what we pay. | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? I was at SWAF And was in the ARC room. I noticed those guys weren’t using gloves and ask one of them about it. He said it was unnecessary and I would say those guys are experts | |

| How to find local audiophiles There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum, who are very generous in sharing their experience. There is a lot to be learned from them. There is also the possibility that an entertaining brawl could break out at any time over pi... | |
| How to find local audiophiles I was out of this world for a long time-raising kids, working too much, etc. Made do with a modest headphone setup. When I got back in 10-12 years ago, all the high end stores had disappeared. We have one store that is really a HT store, but sell... | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? This was an interesting and civil discussion. Not a topic of earth shattering importance, but perhaps relevant to other often discussed subjects. I appreciate the many insights shared by the group. | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... Quality of the recording because it sets the ceiling. You can reach it or you might fall short of it, but you can’t exceed it | |
| Trying to decide between 2 Nagra classic, single boulder 1161, or Luxman M10-x You may already know this, but Boulder is replacing the 1161 with a new model, the 1162. If it’s not available yet, it will be very shortly. you may want to wait but if you don’t, the 1161 is a great amp. you should insist on a really good price ... | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research I just got back from the southwest audiofest-great show by the way- and the ARC Folks did a nice program on the history and future of the company. It was very interesting. ARC featured some brand new solid state products in its room that maybe hav... |
