| Where would be a good place to buy& sell used audio equipment? Second Audiomart but also StereoNet but maybe USA doesn't have a StereoNet | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? You misunderstand. I agree that on ethical or moral issues everyone has a right to an opinion and that is what I said. However I question the validity of opinions with regard to fake cable quality or sound without having seen or heard the cables i... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? When I started this thread I mentioned that I had the chance to compare fake Cardas Clear Light interconnects with the real thing and could hear no difference. I have since tried the fake Nordost Odins and find them to be better than the fake Card... | |
| Tubes or not If you really want a tube dac I would second the Orchid. However if you have a tube pre or power amp the Pure Audio Lotus 5 beats the lot and you can probably get Wally at Underwood Hi Fi to sell for $1599 and maybe less. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? I agree it depends on the recording. I have heard lousy supposed hi rez and SACD and great Redbook and vice versa. | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? I have a Cambridge Audio CXN 2. The sound is great but the Cambridge Audio App which you need if you are to use a smart phone as a remote is crap. Tidal's App is not great but much better than that from Cambridge ( made in China not the UK). | |
| Will I notice a difference? Let's stir this question up a bit. Are external dacs the latest audio incarnation of the Emperor's New Suit of Clothes? | |
| Will I notice a difference? Nice idea but I think Linear Tube Audio would be disinclined to lend out a DAC to Australia. As Mhdt are based in Taiwan I would have more chance getting a unit from them but very, very unlikely. The company has no representation in Australia. If ... | |
| Will I notice a difference? The rest of my equipment is a Van Alstine Transcendence 8+ pre, a Rogue Stereo 90 power amp driving the electrostatic panels of Martin Logan Vantage speakers and an Acurus A250 driving the bass units. Also a Mosscade Saturn 12 sub which I rarely use. | |
| Pls Recommend Streamer Under $500 for Tidal “HiFi” Used Cambridge Audio CXN v 2 | |
| Have you ever been blocked by an E seller here? Refusing to sell internationally as most sellers do on Audiogon is not the same as blocking but the result is the same. I have had some successful purchases from the USA but many more lost purchases because sellers only sell to the USA or Canada.... | |

| Would switching amps make a big difference? I have ML Vantage speakers and am using a Van Alstine tube pre. I have biamped the speakers with a Rogue 90 tube power amp driving the electrostatic panels and an Acurus 250wpc SS amp the bass units. Highs are clear and extended and the bass tight... | |
| Tidal - why only remastered versions? I'm a relatively new subscriber to Tidal and am somewhat surprised about the vastly different sound quality between albums whether original or remastered. Some albums sound great even though playback says "normal" and others listed as " hi fi " s... | |
| Imported audio are you getting the same level of performance vs domestic priced equip? Try living in Australia where nothing is manufactured and mark ups are mostly horrific, together with limited choice compared to the USA and even Canada. |
