| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @fpomposo Well, there you go again. From 2017 to 2020, GDP grew 5.7%. From 2021 to 2024, GDP growth was 13.7%. Facts are just so pesky. | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @fpomposo I’m not debating politics, just your faulty facts. What you claimed in your first post was not factually correct, either for dow or s&p. but just for your awareness, s&p is always a much better indicator because it’s a broade... | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @fpomposo Not sure where you’re getting your data. S&P 500 was just over 5700 on November 5th. On January 20th, it was just over 6000. Today, S&P 500 opened at 5305. That’s a drop of 12% in 4 months. | |
| How to find local audiophiles Start with music first. I am incredibly fortunate to have two neighbors - each literally two doors away! - who enjoy jazz, like me (though not our only musical interest). About 10-12 years ago I went up to one of their doors on a late Saturday a... | |
| Sold Sold Sold @ozzy62 “Your ilk”? That’s the opposite of woke my friend. | |

| Sold Sold Sold I think you “best stay woke” when you deal with the OP. | |
| Sold Sold Sold Yes, the term “woke” means being tolerant and open to others, including those from different cultures. Cool fact is it was originally coined by Huddie Ledbetter (aka, Leadbelly). He used it in a song in reference to the 1931 case in Alabama wher... | |
| Sold Sold Sold @inna Not sure what alternative facts you’re smoking (assuming you’ve actually read the thread). Just on the basis of the actual email exchanges, the seller comes off as a gentleman, someone who went out of his way to help a potential buyer, ev... | |
| I am sad nope, can’t call the attache or the ambassador - they’ve recently been fired. | |
| What should I upgrade next in my system? one other thought: if your primary source is youtube, that’s compressed, lossy audio, so you shouldn’t spend a ton on a DAC, IMHO. But you’ll probably be able to hear substantial improvement spending less than $1000. | |
| What should I upgrade next in my system? Am no Apple TV expert, but if you’re streaming videos, you can use an external dac for the audio portion but you’ve got to use the apple tv streamer for the video portion (I think). You can get a better streamer for Quobuz and Tidal, but of cours... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @kerrybh I have similar views. Product types for which I have a healthy amount of skepticism include power conditioning, high-cost streamers, and network switches (omg!). Manufacturer claims regarding their low noise levels, jitter immunity, e... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @knownothing Amir’s conclusion actually says “So if you have audible mains related interference that is above a few hundred Hertz, then the PSM156 may have an effect”, which is decidedly less dogmatic than my friend @samureyex. If you read Amir... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @samureyex Think you may have intended your post referencing the Dave for someone else. I don’t have one. Regarding your post about the Puritan, you left out what mattered in Amir’s conclusions, which contained no inconsistencies. Here’s ... |
