| OLIVE sucks... I have covered this in a previous post. I had an O4HD bite the dust after 2 yrs of minimal use. I bought directly from OLIVE. Sent to Olive for repair. They could not repair because they no longer have the part - a motherboard - but they sure want... | |
| new gilmour album For me, it will be like "On An Island"...will take multiple listens to fully enjoy. | |
| Is OLIVE still in business? My 2 yo Olive O4HD had the mother board go out and they could not fix it due to not having the part anymore. No issue to them; they tried to sell me their newezst and only unit, the ONE. No F'ing way will I buy another product from them or their s... | |
| Macintosh--MCD-550 or MCD-500 anyone hear them I have owned a MCD500 for 4 yrs now. A very good performing SACD player plus the internal DAC can be used by an external source (like my piece of shit Olive O4HD). | |
| Beware Olive owners Elybry - at the very least they should send you an Olive ONE 2TB server. I will never own another OLIVE product and will do what I can to get the word out on their poor CS. | |
| Upgrade phono cable for new Project DC Carbon TT? I bought my son a Debut Carbon and tried various levels of AQ cables I had on hand and went back to the supplied one since it sounded just as good. The 2M is a very good cartridge for $100 retail. | |
| Beware Olive owners Onhwy61 - my Olive was barely2 yrs old and they did not have available parts to fix an inherent design problems. My server should have been fixable. It is no wonder they now only have one unit to sell. This has absolutely been the worst audio expe... | |
| Is it time for a phono stage? Rkbcpa55 - I have not yet purchased a phono stage. I am very pleased with my C2300 MM/MC and have yet to find one that can better it for under $3500 (that's a lot of LPs). | |
| Is it time for a phono stage? Tough decision. I have a McIntosh C2300 preamp and was looking for an outboard phono stage but I could not find anything under $3500 that could better the Mc's adjustable on-the-fly (with remote) phono stage. My turntable is a VPI Aries 3 with 3D ... | |
| VPI setup A Soundsmith Counter Intuitive is a must for VPI arms - will help get azimuth set without changing VTF. An easy $50 upgrade. | |
| Problem uploading tracks to Olive 06HD I suggest contacting them and acting like you want to buy a product and that you have a few questions. When they reply do the bait-n-switch. That is how I have had to get my issues resolved. | |
| McIntosh MA5200 jimmymac - your Special 25s are very special. Don't you work for McIntosh filling the tar pots? | |
| What after a Lyra Delos, if any ? I went from a Delos ($1300 at the time) to my now-current Ortofon Cadenza Black ($2700). The Ortofon is a better sounding cartridge but not 2X more - the Delos is a Best Buy to me | |
| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? Sonus faber Guaneri Momentos - about $7k used. next on purchase list. | |
| Naked Classic Platter Nope. I use a Herbie's Audio grungebuster mat. |
