| Harbeth 40.3 XD Tweeters @arafiq good idea, will do, thank you. | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? *Innuous has on on-board DAC. Given your budget I'd go with Innuous. I will likely buy a Pulse at some point. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? It's very very very very difficult to buy speakers. It's not difficult, never mind 4 X very difficult. I just bought used Harbeth 40.3 XDs, private sale. Drove an hour. To be fair though, I have a truck, otherwise it would have been inconvenien... | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? +1 for BlueSound. You can always add a nice external DAC down the road and still be on budget. Innuos is highly regarded but I believe you need an external DAC. | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? What cart and phono stage are you using now? | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? @j_andrews thank you! | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? @j_andrews Thanks for sharing. I have a Lenire provider near me, something I am considering. But it's $5K, inflated for California I suppose. Can you share what caused your tinnitus (I.E., aging, exposure to noise, pharma?) and what does your aud... | |
| I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice I also had good results with what kmcong suggested, Node, power supply upgrade, tube DAC, good cables etc, details in my profile. Moot if you decided on the Hegel route. Lot's of good advice here, but if you are wedded to vinyl get rid of the pro... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? Welcome. I’m 59 yo and have had tinnitus for 30 years. I’m listening at 85dB peaks 10 feet from my speakers, avg is more like 70dB which is very satisfying and far too loud to talk over if we have company. This is a very safe zone. I just had an... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system You're welcome Mike - good luck and let us know where you land:) | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Mike, to clarify, laoman wasn't recommending the Parasound JC3 phono stage, quite the opposite. Personally, I use the Goldnote PH10 with their PSU 10 linear power supply which I think is very good for around $3K and will run pretty much any MC/MM... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Thx @laoman I decided to stop at 2 fairytales | |
| Tidal or Qobuz I cancelled Tidal after using Qobuz and Tidal for about a year. Slightly better SQ but also the MQA nonsense was a turnoff. I'm going to try out Amazon HD thanks to this thread. | |
| Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there? MacAllen 15 yo or Blanton's at the moment for whiskey favs. Socks or bare feet - I hate slippers and all other forms of foot wear unless necessary. Can't talk about a pipe that I may or may not own or what may or may not be in said pipe, if it e... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Lot’s of great advice here, including maybe save half for a rainy day or an impromptu adventure. This is not good advice, IMHO. Assuming 7% taxes we have 15k left for vinyl. This is easy your cartridge will be an Hana Umami Red for 3950… you wo... |
