| 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... | |

| 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 @erik_squires thanks I will try that now | |
| Starting Over and I need your help For sure audition, and there are some great suggestions above. My 2 cents...I’d consider a used Hegel H190 - a very solid one-box solution if the Zamp doesn’t work out well for you. There are a couple for sale on US Audio Mart within your budget.... | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? @ghdprentice Certified? More like certifiable. And my wife would agree 😁 Have an awesome and musical weekend. | |
| Audiogon web site is slow for me...... very slow lately, but never was great | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? @simonmoon Great back-story, thanks for sharing. For the vast majority of time, I listen to music, and pay almost no attention to how my gear is performing. I am a music first audiophile. Same here. et al Each to his own, but I was honestly ... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? @drbay Some of the best songs in the world are very poorly recorded. Eg: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack. Beautiful song and an amazing singer. I have my parents to thank for exposing me to her and many other greats as a... |
