| The review wehave been promising is up Andrew when you or your fellow music reviewers review, say, Wagners Ring, there are usually comparisons to multiple other versions. As readers we have come to take that as a matter of course. So why the attitude about product reviews, that compa... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Well Troy you a vanishing breed, a functioning physical store. Unfortunately I live in the Midwest so shopping with in person isn’t going to happen. Btw, I am at home now with Covid…third bout…and I am vaxxed up the wazoo, so please be careful. ... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Andrew You and I had a little back and forth in the Letters section of Fanfare a few years back, and I respect your views. However I haven’t read TAS for a few years either. I was really turned off by the shilling for MQA. And I reject the fu... | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm In College 40 years ago a girl dumped me for another guy who had a part time job in a High End Audio store. My system at the time was Advent 3 Speakers, the cheapest Gerrard Tt and Pioneer Receivers available. This guy bragged about selling McI... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up @toolbox149 I’ll do it. Don’t leave Eliot. We need more people who don’t go ballistic when they find something objectionable | |
| Oppo service OP, thank you so much for sharing. I have a 105 and a 203 in different systems and they work fine, but there is always that concern | |
| Roon Nucleus as a Streamer Fwiw…I did the Roon Trial, and I was using a 2009 MacAir, which had been replaced by a new model. I had scrubbed the HD. The Air started to overheat during the Roon download, something it had never done otherwise. I aborted the trial. Make sur... | |
| Old CDs and records Is Fremer moving to TAS? I’d love picking up Stereophile and not having to skip his latest review of a $100K turntable. His new site will concentrate on “affordable audio”? Yeah right. Won’t he miss his $10K cartridges? Regarding the OP, it... | |
| marantz nd8006 vs Ruby vs n30 Marantz Customer Service is terrible. Just sayin. Perhaps look at other brands? | |
| Lumin U1 or Bryston Bdp2 I used Rigelian with the BDP 3. It certainly was an improvement over Bipolar Bison (that’s a low bar), and it was free, but far from perfect. It didn’t recognize about half my library, I had to reboot it several times, and it’s Qobuz integration... | |
| Old CDs and records I can find music faster locating it on my shelves than finding the same recording ripped to my NAS. | |
| Lumin U1 or Bryston Bdp2 Bryston has a terrible interface. The interface is a significant part of the experience. | |
| The review wehave been promising is up As long as a dealer identifies himself as such, and then makes no bones about their agenda, most of us can handle reading their comments in stride. We don’t need banning here. It is also entirely permissible for another poster to point out that ... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Troy at least makes no bones about the fact that he is a salesman. I prefer that to others who shill for a product and don’t reveal that they have a financial interest. MC, anyone? And Troy occasionally puts in a good word for products that he d... | |
| Politics and Music Mozart was claimed as a “National Treasure” during the Third Reich. Never mind the fact that he wasn’t German, or even Austrian (Salzburg was an independent Duchy when he was born). So from 1933-45 no one was supposed to listen to Mozart? I wou... |
