| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? The interesting thing seemingly about SET amp is that one has to understand the unique limitations of each unique design and match gear accordingly. Not so much different than the norm, but the rules and players are different. I would expect in th... | |
| I Just Know It's BS ... But I Have't Tried It Yet I like it when people who talk about tweaks I do not understand demonstrate knowledge of related things I know more about as well. That gives them more credibility with me in terms of understanding the big picture at least. When people talk about ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? 10.2 ohm output caught my eye as well. That would make for some varied and possibly interesting results. Hard to see how that would perform well with most speakers, but again optimal performance and what one considers to be good sound are often no... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Not to mention the fancy boxes they come in and note promoting the designer inside.Who needs fancy boxes for wires anyway? I guess it makes it easier come time to resell. I see these up for sale regularly here on agon these days for only a fractio... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz If not for audiogon, where else could someone go to gush about wires that cost more than most people invest in music total and not get ridiculed off the face of the earth, no matter how good or not the things actually sound. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice post Learsfool.I like to think of music as both an educational and healing force. Personally, I don't think enjoyment of an artists music is equivalent to liking them as a person. But liking them as a person is no doubt a plus. My reaction in... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I have no problem with people promoting products here for any reason. The truth always comes out over time. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert's logic is impeccable on that one. | |
| Going old school I picked up a basic admiral table at a yard sale for $10 with ceramic cart and stylus for 33 and 78 rams like most commodity tables out there in the 60s and 70s. Connected it to my arc tube preamp aux input. Used it only to play my old 78s and con... | |
| KEF LS50 I heard them briefly once in my home in a larger and smaller room. I think they do very well for their size in that regard and overall in a room suited to their size. There is only so much a small speaker like that can do alone in a larger room. A... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I was not joking.Also I have nothing against magnets.You are right that there is nothing I can add to this thread. Especially since I get mocked rather than my questions by which one might learn something new of value getting answered.So it is wha... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? If I am not mistaken, by default, Squeeze system converts WAV to flac when it goes over the wire. | |
| Is computer audio a bust? The same way you know what other audio components might sound good, by doing homework, auditioning and comparing the options.I play FLAc files via 2 different Squeezebox touch units that I played .WAV prior. I also play them via PLEX application o... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Tbg,agree the processing is different and may or may not be done well. Should not be a problem if done properly. Any modern computer with good software should be up to the task but that does not guarantee it is done correctly with best possible so... | |
