| Best progressive rock album side One person mentions “modern bands”. As for the rest, they prove that “audiophiles” are dudes in their 60s or 70s who believe that music peaked 40 years ago on major labels. Or are they stick bass players who think that Tony Levin is the height of... | |
| 2022 is almost here. Why are you here? I originally came here to try to learn about some audio things. Now, I get a daily digest of “hot” forum posts and I only come here when I think there’s a high probability that the right-wing bloviators are gonna trot out their political sentiment... | |
| Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl Poor OP is “out” after 5 months and 3 posts. Can’t take it anymore. He didn’t even get dumped on by MC for being a cultural Marxist and he’s still leaving. dweller - thanks for your input. Very informative.actually, its why I'm considering dumpin... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. It’a those damned cultural marxists. Stealing our commas, our grammar, our spelling, our women, our elections. And on the eve of our holiest day. Bastards. | |
| Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming OP here. I have no real argument against DD turntables, just that the most commonly recommended ones are Technics. I get now that AT copied Technics but there’s something about dropping $2k on a turntable that looks an awful lot like my old one th... | |
| Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming Thanks for the input so far, guys. I guess the fact that I couldn’t really go wrong with any of these turntables is what makes choosing so hard. I was reading about the Schiit Sol recently and then discovered that it’s currently out of production ... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Cable directionality has to do with where the copper was mined because electrons move differently depending on which hemisphere you’re talking about. A cable made from copper mined in Utah will favor being plugged in the opposite way from a cable ... | |
| Lack of Female Representation In what world does this even make sense:So you want to attract more women, you got your work cut out for you. A public rebuke of the people who contributed to the rap threads will be a start. In order to attract more women to the audio hobby someo... | |
| This forum is antiquated. @csontos Also no personal party lines to toe here. Really? If you can’t “hear” how good a power cable sounds you are roundly accused of being either a) too poor to afford the really good stuff b) too cheap to have a good system or c) lacking in l... | |
| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community daveman2.....This thread wouldn’t have anything to do with that dumpster fire of a “discussion” about rap from last weekend, would it?I’m on several other forums focused on audio and non-audio hobbies and they each do a much much much better job k... | |

Please tell us about your listening tests that have led you to this conclusion.Here’s a 140 page read on the topic. Many more on the sa... | |
| Interconnects—Just a thought. Schiit don’t make the interconnects. They’re made by others and sold by Schiit. | |
| Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube? Thanks for your reply and explanation, George! | |
| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? Mine is a basic one:It bugs me when sellers don’t say why they’re selling an item. I always want to know and sometimes lose out on an item whilst waiting for a reply.Are you “upgrading”? That’s useful to know because maybe the item isn’t as top of... | |
| Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube? Ok, trying my last post again. Looking for a little help regarding input/output impedance:My amp has an input impedance of 100k ohms. I’m not sure what that means vis-a-vis the Saga+. With the tube engaged, the Saga has an output impedance of 180 ... |
