| SOS! Suddenly have a high-end turntable, need to upgrade Amp + Speakers I don’t have any suggestions on amp and speakers but you’ve got a very nice TT and Cart, and an entry level phono stage with limited gain options for a LOMC (although 60dB should be OK with the Hana). So in the future if budget allows, consider u... | |
| My experience with The Music Room Bought a T+A 3100, traded in 2 amps + some cash. Could not be happier. Got what I wanted, unloaded what I didn’t want without the hassle of dealing with buyers and shipping, treated fairly and professionally. Transaction could not have been easie... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? I don’t think so. But this thread made me think back to the first high-end audio store I visited in the mid 80’s. I remember listening to a MacIntosh rig - separates- a - Linn TT, and I think some Cerwin Vegas (horns?) I think the Mac gear was $5... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @rcm1203 😂 I respect your brutal honesty! | |
| What was the first CD with great drums?? First thing that popped into my mind was Keith Moon, Won’t Get Fooled Again @blackbag20 the Professor - genius, master of his craft, and gone too soon. Along with Gordon from The Hip, two great Canadian artists that I really wish were alive today... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier What a nightmare. The box is trashed, and who knows what kind of shape the amp is in. Curious what shipper you used? In my business and personal experience with FedEx and UPS, insurance just means they look a little harder for the lost item, th... | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @audphile1 Agree 100% | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @audphile1 I'm "upgrading" my opinion from "very subtle" to "subtle" improvement after a few more hours of listening to some very familiar HR Jazz recordings via Qobuz. I'm learning that sometimes when you a/b test and focus on trying to hear cha... | |
| Eversolo A6/A8 My modest digital source is a BlueSound Node, LHY power upgrade and a BlackIce DAC with nice NOS tubes and decent cables streaming Qobuz and SXM Radio. It rivals (but does not beat) my analogue source but at 1/3 the cost. Most importantly, a gre... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Huh? | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @rcm1203 Audiophile listening isn't dying. The music worth listening to is old, just like the audiophiles who listen to it. We are a dying breed of connoisseurs, soon to be extinct. You seem like a fun dude to hang out with. Equipment desi... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? Check the demographic at hi fi shows - male and old! Lot's of women enjoy other predominantly 'male' hobbies; cars, motorcycles, mountain biking, competitive shooting, gardening. Any thoughts on why there are not more women audio enthusiasts? | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection Circular, pointless argument. It's my post...please end it here. Thank you to those that contributed. | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @tksteingraber Next up the Smooth Lan per ozzy’s recommendation. Ordered mine Friday. | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection My impression so far is there is a very subtle improvement in tone (slightly smoother highs and a bit tighter bass) and separation of instruments. I have a DH Labs ethernet cable but it’s coming directly out of a Cox cable router and I am sure th... |
