| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Pretty sure when people talk about making America great again its the 1950’s they are referring to except maybe reverse the rhetoric when it comes to Russia and any old USSR aspirations to be great again there.

| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Hey Ohm Walsh prices are highest ever and in scarce supply. So it’s not the end of the world. At least not yet. Pays to have a truly unique and somewhat affordable product that people value, I would assert. Not as affordable as used to be the c... | |
| Does ROON sound different? Agree different things will sound different, but in any case, sound quality is a cornerstone of Roon, not an issue. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. It’s a free country. It is a shame but Offensive is very in these days all over. Who knows why? Just ignore the offensive and focus on the good. No sense getting all uptight over it. | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Old thread but… I’ve had F5s for gosh almost 20 years now but these are not current model and no integrated subs. They are in a larger size L shaped room. They do very well as is and I have never used a sub. I also have smaller model with ... | |

| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) One thing I have never understood is how audiophiles have always seemed unusually indifferent to cost of buying and depreciation that factors into selling esoteric expensive items often purchased on a whim as a result of effective marketing at wor... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? FFT is a mathematical transformation from time to frequency domain. Our ears respond to frequencies over time. The details of how they do that is a whole different story. chervokas seems to have a good handle on it. | |
| Impressions & comparisons of Belles 150a Reference Power Amplifier Ver 2 Hi @hilde45. If the Hypex captured your interest you might check out the newer GaNFET based Class D amps. Class D Audio provides very high value products for low cost due to low overhead etc. I have Hypex based Cambridge Evo 150 and newer GaN Cl... | |

My primary current setup is Roon->Cambridge Audio mxn10 streamer/DAC analog out-> Schitt Freya balanced XLR out -> Class D Audio Premium GaN 6.5 Balanced 2-Channel Amplifier 200W RMS into 8 OHM -> KEF ls 50 meta + powered sub or Ohm Wa... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Logic indicates we all simply need to remove our own personal tariffs when selling in order to lower the price and be able to do business. A 25% reduction in asking price should do it. | |
