| Payment method required to send messages??? " add a credit card. This is required to cut down on fraudulent users contacting our sellers." If AUDIOGON could guarantee that they will never be hacked and lose control of my data, I might be willing to do that just to send messages. However, ... | |
| Speaker Help Required Get rid of the wife, and you can then do whatever the hell you want to fix the room. Worked for me! | |
| Six DAC Comparison After my experience with a Benchmark DAC years ago that got rave reviews but for which I hated the sound (ear-bleeding highs), I learned something. There is sound. But there is also music. They are not necessarily the same thing... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! @deep_333 yeah, wet rags. it worked, but like I said too much hassle and risk. I do have fans although not as sophisticated as that amp cooler. Anyway I decided that in the summers here I will only run Class D, they have gotten quite good. ... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Musical Fidelity A1. Class A solid state. 35wpc claimed. I have the 2008 version; it is an integrated but I will often use it in HT mode to bypass as much of the integrated preamp circuitry as possible. Having said that, I run it with any of 5... | |
| Annoying Sibilance=digital glare? Try moving the speakers, toeing in, or out, height higher or lower, and/or listening position. And the first DAC I ever had that had sounded "glare free" was a Centrance DacPort. Not many since have I heard that came close to the sweet sound of ... | |

| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? Assuming both have return privilege, buy both at the same time. Audition them in your home side by side. If you can't hear any difference, return the new pair. If you hear anything bad from the used pair that you don't hear from the new, return... | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... You obsess about soundstage :) | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? @sls883 How many hours per day, how many days per week, and how loudly do you listen? I had what I felt was severe tinnitus. Then I took a one month break from listening. Shocked the hell out of me: the tinnitus is now 90% gone. So, now I lis... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality try an RPI 4 running Picore and LMS. If an RPI 4 is good enough for Bryston to use as a streamer (enclosed in a fancy case) it should be good enough... The biggest change in a system is always from a change in speakers... | |
