| Check this out. Nice that someone opened up the mystery box....ie a "premium" fuse, so you can at least see what is in it. I like to see the innards of all gear before buying. "it sounds good or better" alone means nothing. It still may or may not "sound better" ... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. Buying expensive things from virtual strangers is an inherently risky business. Be careful! Integrity of sellers varies widely. Use the forum for some clues and ask questions. Having said that, I do wish there would/could be a stronger proacti... | |
| CD transport vs.streaming If its the same source material and resolution and things are done right it doesn’t matter. Streaming has all the +’s though on overall utility so work on that if needed. The right DAC is a must. Most any good quality streamer will do. THat’s to d... | |
| About users with hidden agendas I checked. On my iPhone I can get a list of threads I started and select a pop up on each with a delete option. So it is possible for one to delete their threads. Live and learn. | |
| About users with hidden agendas It’s a free country. People should really stop telling everyone else what they should say or think or do. Let the cards fall where they may. | |
| About users with hidden agendas Lol no doubt @mahgister got someone's attention. | |
| About users with hidden agendas Someone had my earlier post asserting the vaccine saves lives in response to a prior disparaging post removed. I don’t really care as long as the original disparaging remark that might cost more lives if taken to heart, not save them, was removed ... | |
| Why People Like Tekton I am a coherent sound fan. Ohm Walsh CLS and KEF UniQ do it for me. Many drivers spread around work against that especially in rooms the size of most at home. | |
| The new Rogue pharaoh II slams My advice with LEGITIMATE new technologies and designs from REPUTABLE companies that have a lot of backing in terms of R&D dollars spent is never say never and take all opinions with a few grains of salt. FWIW my local favorite dealer, who ha... | |
| the cart or the horse? Replace amp and pre with an integrated. Need not be big. Something like Unity Atom, NAD M10, Rogue Sphinx (for a touch of tube magic) or BEl Canto C5i. For all tubes any Rogue integrated. For something very small but good sounding, a Glow Amp 1 i... | |
| About users with hidden agendas No, not maybe. .... Never a good idea to assume you know what is happening in OTHER peoples lives. | |
| The new Rogue pharaoh II slams Pharoah is the real deal. Easy downsizing choice. | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time They should just call it “foot tapping”. At least you know that when you you see it. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? The only thing for sure is a lot money (the difference). The rest all depends. | |
| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice I’d keep the KEFs or maybe upgrade to metas and feed it with a quality modern amp Like a Bel Canto c5i if it were me but….. For more vintage I’d go with the heresy 3 or IV or a pair of Ohm Microwalsh depending which way one rolls sound wise. |
