| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I value the input of several posters here. I really wish there were a way to block the rest. | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? I've had a similar concern, such as, "what to do with 160 Duke Ellington lp's"? I suspect that you are underestimating the personal cost to digitize a significant # of lp's. Factor in, e.g., a top a\d converter, wear on expensive stylus, clea... | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I tried a D-Sonic amp with a Modwright 36.5 preamp. It was a nice amp, crystal clear, excellent for home theater or background music, but sort of lifeless with 2 ch audio. If you're not familiar with it, the Modwright is a fine preamp (imo), bu... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Sorry @sargonicuse, thanks for the link! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @ ditusa, thanks! Cool app. 70-82 db. My apt is noisy, so less than that is little more than background. The ambient noise level affects how loud your music needs to be played, as well as its dynamic range. | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? An absurd premise. The equipment needed to play it well greatly exceeds the cost of the collection. I don't think my 4000 or so records has much value. Too much effort would be required to extract it. My heirs will probably give it away. The ... | |
| Hearing Aids None of the top hearing aids are domestic products, so wouldn’t they be subject to the new tariffs? | |
| Hearing Aids @signaforce + 1. I would be interested to hear your results. | |
| Hearing Aids The problem is that, aside from Widex, the hearing aid designers pay no attention at all to the sound of music. As others point out, they are designed only for speech recognition (i.e., focused around the 2-3 khz region). One of my friends, who... | |
| Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR.. "Warm" jumpers to ...tweeters? You might want to focus on the frequencies those jumpers are carrying. | |
| New Amp Advice The incremental improvement possible over the Mich is very, very small ( unless you move to tubes) and it can control every speaker you might desire - they don't get much better. There is considerable room for improvement to your speakers, turnta... | |
| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted It kind of negates efforts to buy "made in USA" if it's no more easily repaired than that. | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? All of it contributes. The weight of an amp is its most important spec. | |
| In the sand box I had a Bright Star sandbox. It degraded the sound of my tube amp, and did not help the turntable, | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? @Toronto416, thanks for the heads-up! |
