| Sound quality differences in streamers With respect to my streamer bona fides, I was an early mover to streaming 20+ years ago, well before I got back into vinyl (which was probably about 15 years ago now). And with respect to listening to streamers, I’ve had 10(ish) different models ... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers So here’s why, IMHO, it’s “dumb” to pay $29k for the Antipodes: Like other high-cost server/streamers, Antipodes talks about its superior isolation and noise reduction. The reason for this is because there is no other credible claim they can mak... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers A server for $29k. Forgive me, but that’s just dumb. Really dumb. Like insanely dumb. | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers streamer discussion see link above to a prior discussion that touches on same topic. I am a strong proponent that, putting aside processing differences (e.g., reclocking, up sampling/oversampling, dsp), the only differences across streamers - so... | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @fpomposo wow, you’ve got an excuse for everything don’t you. So let’s just eliminate 2020 and 2021 from the statistics due to pandemic anomalies, and look at private sector job creation. From January 2017 thru December 2019, the net private s... | |
| 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... | |
