My recommendation for all is to be as open minded and receptive as possible when looking at all the different relatively cost-effective ways one might satisfy their hifi music yearnings these days, It’s not like the old glory days of analog 2-cha... | |

| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? The thing about rooms is yes they are what they are acoustically and tunings can be done to tweak that to various extents, but the decisions one makes regarding what to put into that room and how to achieve the best results possible need to be ver... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? I’d say in general if someone posts and asks for opinions, anybody can offer their’s …..no rules attached. Then it’s up to the reader to figure out which ones matter to them and why. | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? @calvinj I think we are on the same page. If someone asks my opinion I’ll give it but I am not one to pass final judgement on things I know little about or have no direct experience with. | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? @calvinj you asked a question and I think I provided a valid answer. Don’t shoot the messenger. There are many nice headphones out there that are arguably not a very good value especially when it’s been demonstrated applying a proper no cost conv... | |

| Wharfedale Lintons ... Any great amp pairings? A Cambridge evo has the detail dynamics and drive to do those justice I would bet. | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? What happens when your hard drive chashes? That's what backups and restores are for. ITs' important to not overlook that because eventually every hard drive will fail. Keeping the CDs is another safeguard but ripping thousands a second time ... | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? I never try to downgrade my system, but I am continuously looking for ways to improve it mainly by taking advantage of real technological advancements that always happen over time and that can deliver more for less. | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? I have also ripped over one thousand CDs. I have not gotten rid of any of the CDs, I just never play them anymore. They line my walls and help with acoustic dispersion. Also still serve as backups in case ever needed (footnote: be sure to always k... | |

So I have a nostalgic soft spot for tubes.... | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? Confession: I recently bought a $150 amp (with beefed up power supply, less otherwise) and am using in a desktop system while working from home. This is my second Fosi amp. It is very well reviewed and is documented independently as measuring very... |
