| How come no one talks about the BEST REMOTES?? Logi Harmony was discontinued? I have 2 units, both over 8 years old ang going strong. Maybe they made them to well. | |
| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned OP If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. This hobby is subjective. Opinions are just that. Your own ears are the arbitrator. The Internet is an area where people can exchange opinions. Some people use shield of anonymity ... | |
| I2s DSD I have a few hundred SACDs. My Oppo players output the DSD layer over HDMI. My Bryston DAC3 has HDMI inputs. It sounds amazing and so far Sony hasn't sent a SWAT team to haul me off to a Penitentiary. It's amazing that the Mola Mola people ... | |
| Monitors with Built In Center Channels My dealer told me that he has another customer who is also interested in the same issue, and since the dealer now is carrying Sony TVs, he ordered one of the models for a demo and will call me for a visit. I will report back | |
| Portable Player Recommendation The Sony that I did have blew away the sound from my phone. And no interruptions from email and texting alerts. I am assuming that these things dont stream well, so I guess I would continue to the the phone for that, but I am interested in HD ... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? I used PCs for a bit, Mac and Windows. You can achieve good sound. A software program such as Audirvana Plus really helps, because it attempts to shut down the rest of the computer and leave music playing part, as well as providing a GUI to mana... | |
| $39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer? John Atkinson had an editorial in Stereophile during the financial meltdown. It discussed income inequality, and opined that the key to survival for most of us would be figuring out how to serve the one percenters. It only gets more relevant wit... | |

| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. By the time I got into a music the Beatles had broken up, the Stones were constantly stoned, Hendrix/Morrison/Joplin had over dosed…It was Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, then I discovered Classical and became a snob. | |
| System and speakers in a large room vs in a small room? I also love it when people ask “What are the best speakers” to buy. I had a friend retire to Hilton Head who has a cathedral style home. He showed me a review of some Epos Speakers that he had just bought and raved about them. When we came for ... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? Wear your mask and don’t get into a dinky hotel room with more than half a dozen other people. And if the sound is as bad as some shows that I have attended, brink additional masks for your ears | |
| Bluesound node 2i My Vault2, which I use like a Node in a secondary system, is audibly “hiccuping “ about every 30 seconds, on all source inputs. Other streamers in the house by other manufacturers do not do this. Rebooting the Vault2 and modem did not help. The... | |
| For SACD fans only I have the Oppo 105. I have a lot of SACDs. The biggest improvement was buying the Bryston DAC3, which has HDMI inputs. Program the Oppo to output DSD over HDMI and sit back and enjoy | |
| CD Alternative OPif you want to continue to play your CDs, and you are trying to decide between a new CD player and a streamer, then don’t get a streamer. If you don’t want to rip your CDs, and are content to listen to the same CDs as streamed over the Internet... | |
