| Looking for Recommendations: Best Wireless, Hi-Res, Closed Back, Over-the-ear Headphone Recently purchased a pair of B&O Beoplay HX headphones. Using the Bluetooth connection they sound, and look, wonderful to me. Very comfortable to wear and at $500, a real bargain IMHO. Recently tried them on a plane, the noise cancelling optio... | |
| McIntosh C52 to C53 Upgrade Pleased to report I don't need the HDMI/ARC option, optical connection is just fine. Secondly I don't have FOMO, so, like I said. I am going to follow everyones excellent advice and stick with the C52. | |
| McIntosh C52 to C53 Upgrade Many thanks for everyones excellent advice, I am certainly going to take it. Stick with the C52 it is then. | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? Interesting post nyev. For me, McIntosh preamps and power amplifiers, also Michell Engineering GyroDec TT with an SME IV or V tonearm. But, who can forget Tim de Paravicini designed Luxman C1000/M6000 combination, shear beauty IMHO, no idea what t... | |
| Best Way To Connect A Bluesound Node OK guys, will try some serious listening at the weekend and report back. | |

| What's on your tape machine tonight? Lyn Stanley; London With A Twist - Live At Bernie’s. As close to live music I have ever heard, albeit at a high price ($750 per tape). The music is wonderful and the recording, quite simply the best I have ever heard! Completely rebuilt Revox PR99... | |
| School Of Rock new video Wow, those kids are good with a sound better than The Pretenders IMHO. Love the backing singers voice and relaxed dance style, similarly the girl on lead vocals. In fact, they are all exceptional musicians with a great future no doubt. What a grea... | |
| Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks? Michell Engineering GyroDec TT Gale GS401A loudspeakers McIntosh power and pre amps See the system here: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7324 Sounds and looks fantastic IMHO. | |
| Bowers and Wilkins, 801 D4 I heard the B&W 801 D4 at Axpona this year, they sounded and looked spectacular. Crystal clear sound with extended FR and great dynamics. They were also reviewed very favorably in HiFi New and build quality is outstanding. | |
| Transformer..? Moving To TheUK The above link does not work, try this: https://www.amazon.com/SEVENSTAR-AR-3000-Stabilizer-Transformer/dp/B000AMF2VU/ref=psdc_10967761_t2_B007YK55OA https://www.amazon.com/SEVENSTAR-AR-Reglator-Stabilizer-Transformer/dp/B007YK55OA/ref=sr... | |
| Transformer..? Moving To TheUK I have moved to Europe, from the USA, twice. Simply bought myself a 2 kW voltage converter/power stabilizer. Worked perfectly for me. You can use something like this: http://www.eastwestusastore.com/detail-3514-id-577-regulators.html Alternative... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Yamaha NS1000M, what an amazing revelation they were nearly 45 years ago. They looked and sounded stunning to me. OK, I have a pair of Magico A5 speakers now that I am very happy with, but, still miss the Yamaha’s. | |
| Super fun and silly video Thanks for sharing, put a big smile on my face! | |
| $5K KUZMA TONEARM FOR ONLY $690! Gryphon Diablo for Only $699! I follow the simple rule; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. |
