| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." mickeyb:I’m a big fan of older rega CD players. The Saturn or Jupiter are built real well, look real cool and sound very good. I dig my Saturn and will never give it up. I run it through my tube dac toslink input and couldn’t be happier. You can g... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." Okay, but a quick search would seem to show those are current production. ie, new. As in, not old.It would appear there are no CD players that after more than a few years do anything but plummet to near worthlessness. Okay. Will have to do for now... | |
| Would an Audioquest Cobalt feed my integrated amp without clipping? In terms of voltage you will be fine, no problem. Voltage isn't really the question, any more than watts matters when driving speakers. But no, you will not be clipping. | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." Clearly a lot of defensive responses and reading into instead of just, you know, reading. Still looking for an example of a CD player that for whatever reason has stood the test of time. As determined by the one thing that matters, willingness to ... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." Peak vinyl. Good one. Even more interesting is why you said, "higher resolution" instead of enjoyable, captivating, musically satisfying, or anything having anything at all to do with an actual reason any normal person would want to listen to it.W... | |
| Cordless subwoofers? I don't know about cordless, but I am speechless. | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." The range of experience across the worldwide interweb is so vast there is always someone, and usually more than a few, willing or able or possessing whatever it is, however unlikely. I mean, some years back there was a guy in Germany looking for p... | |
| Trying to find someone with a cable cooker in Metro NY You’re asking if cryo is different from breaking in, or further improves a burned-in cable. It is. And it does.A cable cooker does nothing more than play a signal through the wire. Same as when you play music. Generally instead of music the signal... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? the Muse was about $10k new years ago, I paid $650 for it on Audiogon Things that make you go hmmmmm... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I was going to say the impression of Speed can only be adjusted by Keanu Reeves. But then some snowflake would have that taken down. So instead I will have to seriously explain that since the "impression" of speed nearly everyone equates to high f... | |
| Tube Failure question Pima Luna uses auto-biasing and runs their tubes at very low voltages. Tubes should last many years. Any given tube can always go bad of course, but with this being a fairly new amp I'm sure Prima Luna if not the selling dealer, would want to know... | |
| Looking for perspectives Going from integrated to separates is hardly an upgrade, except in the sense it looks like you have a lot more equipment. So people looking at your system not knowing anything about audio, it looks really cool. When in reality its very hard (and r... | |
| Audiophile Receptacle question Some of these comments are just hilarious. Expectation bias? My expectation is no outlet, fuse, speaker cable, or anything else made basically out of wire can possibly be any good. My expectation is heavily biased towards being able to get great s... | |
| Audio Truisms or Plinthy statements "If the first watt isn't any good, why would you want 200 more of them?"-Robert Harley | |
| How to A/B Test Power Cables & Interconnects? No, a ground loop happens when there is a different voltage potential between two or more grounds. What I said cleeds. Read it again. |
