| Which stereo amp to try under $30k It seems like the weak link in sound staging, speed, and definitely bass. Overall I don’t have anything against the sound out of the McIntosh, but it’s a little polite. | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal Sorry I am raining on your parade where you declared Tidal dead. I guess the only people allowed to comment are those who agree with you initial assertion. | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal Also, I don't know where you are getting 10 million. Every article I read just says "millions" which is the same language Qobuz uses. And Qobuz has 40 million in CD quality. Are you sure you don't work for Amazon? Seem like a fanboy without being ... | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal Seems like it matters which 10 million tracks those are? | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal How is it a game changer vs Tidal and Qobuz? | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? So what you’re saying is, you don’t have a turn table to compare with, so you’ll just assume your DAC setup is better. Got it. Im sure glad you told us that story about how awesome your class D amp is though. | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? Everyone here keeps saying that the more expensive (and higher resolution), the closer they get. I have found the exact opposite. On my budget systems ($500 TT, $500 DAC), they sound fairly similar due to limitations in the pre-amp, amp, and speak... | |
| Phono stage for my system? Looks like an Ayre just popped up for a great price. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9ejj2-ayre-acoustic-solid-state | |
| Phono stage for my system? Listening to the Ayre P-5xe right now. It’s an excellent phono stage. Highly recommended. I’ll be switching to a Boulder 508, but I don’t think it’s going to be a huge difference. This Ayre seems like it punches above its weight class. | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Used B&w 805D3 and a sub can be had for your budget and will be pretty great on the music you listed. | |
| How good is MSB Discrete Dac? I’m curious how it compares to the new dCS Bartok if you ever happen to have a chance to hear it. | |
| Fyne Speakers now in the USA 30k for a 2 way? Curious if anyone has compared to other British speakers like Harbeth 40.2 or B&W 800D3. | |

| Do you guys like Adele's music? *squinting Fry meme* can’t tell if most here are too old to like anything new or don’t remember singers of their own eras that sounded pretty much the same. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Got it. Will do. Was afraid of break such an expensive machine. Overall, though, couldn’t be happier with it. I just can’t believe I waited this long to get one. |
