| You know you're an audiophile if-- If you start telling white lies to your loved ones to snick that new gear in to your house without getting caught.For us, this obsession is quest for happiness it-self...On push of few buttons, we are transported to the never never land of nirvana... | |
| What should I upgrade If you really like your system, perhaps you can just enjoy the music and not tinker with it - human beings have this psychological need to venture out and experience something new, and this can get costly in hifi real fast.You know about the law o... | |
| Do I need a DAC? You might want to download free softwares to improve the sound - asio4all, and foobar.A good DAC will improve the sound, but if you are happy with the sound, I would just enjoy it.Your rest of the system is good enough for it to show the improveme... | |
| Adcom GFA-5802 -vs- Parasound HCA-3500 Amps? Parasound amps are not the most durable ones - they tend to break down quite a bit. I would look at either Acurus or higher Aragon as mentioned above. | |
