| How do you audition speakers at a store? FIdelis -- yes, definitely them as well as Goodwin's. | |
| How do you audition speakers at a store? Isn't Goodwin's High End in Boston? They are an excellent store, and a lot closer than NJ, I'd think. Many years ago, they had a room whose acoustics I've never heard equalled. Worth a visit just for that.Some good ideas above: Call ahead, make an... | |
| Music Server buying considerations It sounds like you have a nice setup already.I’m not sure what you mean by a music server. It’s kind of a vague term. Something to send music over your home network? Or a PC (they are all really PCs of some kind) that is specifically configured an... | |
| How do you audition speakers at a store? It is difficult, picking out speakers. As @geof352 does, I always get a final audition at home, after as many store visits as needed to be sure the speaker is a real candidate for me. That only seems reasonable for an expenditure in the thousands.... | |

| How best to sell my dad's McIntosh integrated amp, CD player speakers? The correct boxes should include the correct inserts. I don't know if Mc uses foam or cardboard. Once you have those, a little thought, inspection, and trial-and-error should reveal the right way to pack each unit. Be sure to put a plastic bag aro... | |
| Bryston 7B3 compared with McIntosh MAC6700 Integrated I found your comparison interesting. FYI, I use a 4B3 and have not found shoutiness and glare present; recessed vocals seem to vary from recording to recording, so I assumed that they are accurately represented.I will make an exception to the abov... | |
| Love it when it snows The light and sound one experiences after a snow are indeed something special. | |

You can ask the manufacturer or just see what sounds better to you.USB has the advantage of handling higher sample rates. SPDIF or AES3 are usually limited to 192 kHz. USB does much higher. (It doesn... | |
| Quality of digital cable from from source to DAC? >> But my desire to have understanding of most things is strong, particularly when they effect both my happiness and my wallet. <<Such understanding is where you will find the most divergence of opinions about cables. Manufacturers ... | |
