| Value of a premium Ethernet cable I'm sure I'll get flamed, but...the file delivered to your streamer is bit checked and once the streamer has what it needs it plays whatever it was sent, no matter what cable delivered it. Cables matter, I am not a cable naysayer, but if you can... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k @robbydouglas2 another vote for Black Ice - I'm using NOS Mullard's but I'd think the Bugle Boy's would be great as well. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @marco1 Still $9K at MD. Good luck! | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @dpac996 Thanks for sharing your journey. When I first got the 40.3's I was really worried that the room was the issue - it's a big open space, really wide, 8ft ceiling. Isopucks helped the speakers quite a bit but I now know that no matter how g... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @jjss49 Yep - Monsieur dumass is amusing actually. Thanks, you too - enjoy what's left of the holiday weekend if you are in the US. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Thanks for all the feedback. My goofyass speakers are sounding really good with the BAT. After a couple of 2-3 hour focused listening sessions, my comments above stand but I'd add sweet and very easy to listen to. While I did not hear the Sim 7... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @dayglow Absolutely. I'm really happy with my analogue and digital sources, cables etc., they have been "stable" for quite a while now, and actually the BAT reinforced that. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @yogiboy No clue. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @jsqt it’s gorgeous- if it sounds as good as it looks it would be amazing. On my radar from Technics is the SL-1000RE - my local dealer says it beats TT in the 30-50K range | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. I just bought a BAT VK3500 from MusicDirect. I scored an open box, but they are on sale for $9K if you are in the USA. Very happy - if you have any interest check my virtual system - I'm moving from all tube, details are there - not updated with ... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @dayglow I contacted a local SimAudio dealer to see if I could hear the Moon 700i. He didn't' have any direct experience with Harbeth but called a fellow dealer who had the 40.3XD's as his personal speakers (he does not sell them FWTW). Anyway, t... | |
| Why on earth? @ticat got it, thanks. I think there is lots of useful/interesting content on YouTube, but social media in general, so-called influencers, Tik-Tok videos etc. are contributing to the decline of society - and it starts early - an iPad is now the ... | |
| Why on earth? @ticat Wow... why does Everything need to be about Absolutism? So... the YouTube audio of a Demo'd item is not the Be All and End All. I am convinced most people who are Audiogon participants are aware of the technical limitations on display th... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? My glossy finish looks fine without any polish. I just want to clean off the surface. Why would anybody polish an already existing Nice looking glossy speaker finishes?? No clue. But applying a synthetic automotive paint sealant as I suggested... | |
| Why on earth? Yes we are that stupid. Because there are people getting rich from posting crap on the various "social" media platforms mostly about mindless drivel and I'm guessing most of us here have missed that boat. The upside is we are not contributing to ... |
