| DSOTM on Vinyl DSOTM has been a "go to" test album since I listened to my first stereo system in 1974, so I have always been a little OCD about which version is "the best" I have the following on vinyl: original USA release and the original MoFi 1979 release (e... | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? You don't say what your price range is, but I got a MSB Analog DAC with volume control and eliminated my preamp and the MSB is excellent. | |
| Which Subwoofer would you choose? In your price range, you may be able to find a REL Strata . . . They are excellent and great for a music system. I have one and am extremely pleased with how it works in my 2 channel system! | |
| Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 Hit me hard this morning too. His show is one of our regularly watched shows. They are timeless and entertaining. We actually visited places that Anthony had been to after seeing his show.Despite the outward appearances, he must have had some s... | |
| Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 I hung out with Anthony a few years ago when he came to Miami Beach. A truly nice guy, down to earth and humble. To have everything, yet not enough . . . RIP Anthony. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll see you in the next one, so don't be late! Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) | |
| Cassette Deck Repair Hate to say it, since I have a bunch of old cassettes from college, and a near new dual cassette deck, but junk it. With current technology, for background music or serious listening, streaming is the way, either from a server or a streaming serv... | |
| Huey Lewis diagnosed with Meniere's disease Seeing how many people have posted here, I wonder if there is any link between the volume at which one listens to music, or the frequencies that good audio might reproduce better than run of the mill equipment. That would truly be ironic -- higher... | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers @skiroe, people still listen to FM? Why? With Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, randomized playlists, etc., why would anyone want to buy an FM tuner and listen to FM? | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers @whiskeypirate, I have seen ads from a guy in Cyprus . . . don't know if its the same guy, but how many people from Cyprus advertise equipment on here? I always thought that it was weird, and, although all seemed legit, I wasn't interested in deal... | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers That has not been my experience with Agon at all. I've been on here since 2001 and have bought and sold a bunch of equipment. I have never had a problem, either as a buyer or a seller. When I recently sold some gear, did I get some lowball offe... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Thanks so much for everyone's input. So many recommendations and choices, that, other than room treatment of some sort, its difficult to really know what to do. First, I don't really have a clue as to how to figure out what room treatment is eve... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Horror! Only a stock VPI clamp? How are you going to hear all of the sweetness and wildly expanded soundstage. Cable risers look cool. People who come to visit and see your speaker cables on risers know that you are a real audiophile. | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible @teo_audio, no outrage here, although there is a strong desire to rant. Yes, it is no surprise that a company that charges $1.9 million for a car no doubt charges a commensurately expensive amount for parts. That is not really the point here. W... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Working on the paint now. Will let you know when I've got the formula right so that its performance matches the wild claims. |
