| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... They just put up a YouTube video walking you through their operations; I found it very interesting indeed, in a positive way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAP0gCRKZuw | |
| Aging ears and Nuances At Costco, for an extra $60, you can get custom molded earpieces instead of domes. | |
| Looking to upgrade the Edition XS to the Arya Organic. Will I be disappointed? Amazon carries these, and they have a very generous return policy, so if you don't have a local dealer to give them a listen, this or another place with return policies might be a good way of trying them out. | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? @nightfall - Selling your gear because of age-related hearing loss may be YOUR only option, but it's certainly not the only option for people like me who wear hearing aids, and I've worn them for over 20 years. Just bought a fine new tube preamp y... | |

| Aging ears and Nuances I have a great headphone system so I guess I'm nuts, and very happy to be that way. But my amps are the kind with volume control and I do not have to play them at max volume. I stick between 60 and 70 dB for speakers and for my headphones. Exc... | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? Aren't 'never heard' and 'never heard of' two different things? Looks like the OP asked about the second and most of the responses are to the first. And I have bought items I'd never heard of, mostly smaller tweaks, and I'd bought things I'd neve... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @jackd - Thanks for letting me know about Khozmo - I will check them out. I ended up buying a 2nd hand Super 6sN7 on USAM, from somebody who sold it because he needed a pre with balanced XLR outputs for a new amp; this would be good for me as it t... | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets It's not like other record companies have their covers like this, too; perhaps some do, but the only one I've come across has been Rhino. I just don't see the point. | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @daveyf @soix - I've been doing some serious research on Aric's gear and I think I would really like something of his. I note that on the page with the Super 6SN7 preamp, it shows a remote that does have a Mute button. That preamp would also fit i... | |
| Terry Reid Sorry to hear that - RIP Terry.... | |
| Walk-in soundstage I've had that experience with my Marten Parker Duos that Steve Huff just reviewed; I've had mine for several years and I concur with him based on my experience (I enjoy his reviews). Those are driven by an MSB S-200 power amp with a Herron Audio t... | |
| Aging ears and Nuances I'm 74 and have worn hearing aids for the past 20 years or so; main problem was loss of high-frequencies; being hard-of-hearing runs in the family. As mashif says, our brains 'fill in' missing info, and hearing aids with audiologists setting the E... | |
| The cool factor- who has it? @chrisoshea - great band, the Undertones; even got to see them in San Francisco in the late 70's! Saw U2 a number of times, but that was in the early days of 'Boy', 'October', and 'War' when they were just coming up - I kinda lost interest after t... | |
