| Oh my goodness! "I just don’t understand how people can spend the kind of money that this stuff is going for. Nor do I understand what kind of people are willing to spend it. " It is called "Concentration of Wealth". Due to changes in the financial rules of this... | |
| 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. ... | |

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... |
