| Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims? Here is what I do: 1. I never sell on eBay. No seller protection. I don’t care what they say. They don’t protect sellers. 2. I only buy low dollar items on eBay. 3. Major used purchases go to Agon and us audio mart. 4. In EVERY purchase I use Pay... | |
| Benchmark / Anthem / Rogue I have the Benchmark HPA4 which is the LA4 plus a headphone amp. Very uncolored. Very quiet. Excellent specs. This is a reference preamp for some reviewers. I like it a lot. It would be good to know what amp(s) you will be pairing with the preamp. | |
| Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane! @fsmithjack Here is the answer to my question. It is from John Swenson from the Audiophile Style thread https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/59419-master-clock-for-your-etherregen/page/2/:”The specific reason: the clock input goes into a very ... | |
| Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane! @fsmithjack wouldn’t a sign wave be more precise than the clipped square wave? Once Hans Beekhauzen reviewed a master clock and preferred it over another because the reviewed clock was a full sin wave whereas the other less preferred one was a squ... | |
| Mega dollar systems. 200k on up. What are their professions? @tomic601 I didn’t entirely miss the punk period. However, I wasn’t totally into a lot of punk either. But I was directing my comments from the point of view of the listener. My impression is that your comments pertained more from the point of vie... | |
| Mega dollar systems. 200k on up. What are their professions? @polkalover you are correct. But it is well known in this hobby that once your system gets to a certain level there are diminishing returns or another way to phrase it is that for those that want those extra bits of real or perceived improvement t... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX @urbie that is why there is more than one speaker manufacturer. I like the way Magicos look. Not so much the Wilsons. I like the coated beryllium tweeter on my A3s. I’ve never heard or seen Monitor Audio speakers in person though. But it is also r... | |
| Mega dollar systems. 200k on up. What are their professions? Look it is a lot healthier for the individual and society at large to aspire to be successful as that other “successful” person. It does no one any good to resent someone for their success. It drags you down and is bad for society. We should all w... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX I have owned a pair of the Magico A3s for a few years now. What initially drew me to them is that they are highly resolving and very dynamic. With tube integrateds they produce a wide soundstage with depth and great imaging. They are rated at 88dB... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @b_limo I don’t agree with @arafiq . My Magico A3s have the exact same 88dB at 4 ohms as your Salks. I have a Blackhawk Mk3 driving them. I forget what tubes I have in it right now. I have a couple of sets. But I have zero issue driving my A3s. I ... | |
| BUI - Guilty @vinylzone Hey, as long as you did your research as @millercarbon suggested then, hey, congrats. It’s an experience. If you haven’t had tubes before, welcome! If you find that this amp is not right for you or your system, then there is always Audi... | |
| Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell Everyone please note that while eBay charges the buyer the sales tax and collects it from them, PayPal charges YOU the seller the PayPal fee on that sales tax that eBay collects in your transaction but which you don’t receive. I don’t know how thi... | |
| Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators I sold my AQ Niagara 5000 and replaced it with a PS Audio PowerPlant P20. I also have connected to that a Shunyata power strip isolated connected to give me more outlets and outlets distant, sort-of, from the P20. I couldn’t be happier with the P2... | |
| Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3? I have owned one and then two of the Bryston 4B3s. They are wonderful amps with lots of power. But for an office they are big. If you said you were looking to drive Maggies, these would be my top recommendation. But I also currently own a pair of ... | |
| Mega dollar systems. 200k on up. What are their professions? @blueranger what is great about our hobby is that at its core it’s about facilitation and optimization of one’s discovery and enjoyment of music. You can be an audiophile IMO without spending a cent on gear if you are a frequent attender of live m... |
