| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? I love wealthy audiophiles. They are very knowledgeable and always willing to share their opinions about stuff I might buy or stuff I’ll never buy. Also, they sell me their used gear at a reasonable price because they love to see it go to a fellow... | |
| how are you testing your own tubes? Ask some old timers in your neighborhood. I got a hickok 600a from my neighbor, in perfect shape, for 50$. He was so happy I was into tubes. He also gave me a huge box of tubes. Also, check on eBay. There’s plent o tube testers for sale. Good luck! | |
| How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener. It’s all relative. If you’re worth 10m and spend 100k on a system it’s the same as a guy who makes 100k and spends 1k on a system. If you have it, go experiment with the Uber expensive stuff. I’ve heard some crazy expensive stuff and it was impres... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? I have diapason adamantes in one system and mc rl-21s in the other. I love both of these monitors. Set for life, probably not. The best I can say is that I’m not looking at speakers now. I’m only looking at upgrading the hardware. | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? I like the tv. Too small though. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? REM, the stooges, Nirvana, stone temple pilots, Pearl Jam, the replacements, soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the doors, queens of the Stone Age, velvet underground and of course......Chicago! | |
| The current best band in the world? Public image limited. 40 yrs and still making great music. Coming to chi town this oct and I will be there to see Johnny Lydon again. Can’t wait. | |
| For those of us over 60.. Thin lizzy, van morrison, paul butterfield, big star, joe bonnamassa, bob Marley, peter tosh. Good thread! | |
| Help me make a decision! Turntable overload Ortofon Black. | |
| A song murdered by someone. Jeff Buckley murdered Leanord cohen’s hallelujah. In a good way! | |
| Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound? Border patrol | |
| This is juvenile... Lana del ray and Hope Sandoval | |
| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? I run tidal through an old Sansui 1000a with diapason adamantes and it sounds pretty good. Many of my high end audiophiles love the warm full sound. Many can’t believe that a 55 yr old receiver can sound so good with modern digital technology. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Best sounding dac imo under 2k? Border patrol. There can only be 1! | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Give it time and most importantly your ears time to adjust. The transition from tubes to ss takes time. I just can’t seem to get used to ss no matter how hard I try. The best I could do was get a tube hybrid and I’m pretty happy with it. Good luck... |
