| Upgrade from DACMagic? B&W 805S rig Most of the dacs will be a sideways change at best. The idea about a sub is an excellent one. Don't know your listening room so I cannot recommend size. I just went through a sub purchase exercise and picked the Paradigm sub 12 after listening to ... | |
| Looking for Wagner recommendations Pink Floyd, through their drug haze, was using satire and irony. The same way The Clash lampooned neo-Nazis in their song The Clampdown or The Jam exposed skinheads in That's Entertainment. | |
| Looking for Wagner recommendations Feel free. To my view, listening to his works for their musical qualities is like reading Mein Kampf to study narrative style, but to each his own. | |
| Auditioning a Tube Amp I just paid 450 for a Jolida FX-10 12 watt amp for my office. Sounds nice. Way to dip your toe in the tube ocean. | |
| Looking for Wagner recommendations I've studied Wagner's life and read several bios. He was not a misunderstood figure or someone who is misunderstood. The following Wikipedia piece is illustrative:Under a pseudonym in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, Wagner published "Das Judenthum... | |
| New Sooloos start-up? Just asking the question and I have no motive here: What is the advantage of this high priced product as compared to an Olive or a Mac with airport etc.? | |

| Looking for Wagner recommendations Wagner is one of the great anti-Semites in musical history. It is very hard to separate the evil man from the evil men and women who worshipped his music. | |
| Speakers that sound like Grado headphones? I would echo that (pun intended). Speakers sound like speakers and headphones sound like headphones. I have Grados as well and they sound great with my vCan headphone amp. They don't sound like my speakers. Both fun and exciting, but different. | |
| NAD 375BEE v Anthem 225 v Cambridge 840v2 Stereophile this month has a comparison of other NAD-CA items and is complimentary to both. | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? Hey, TpreavesPlease don't waste time with quack science. You know that 1500 thread count has the wrong Gauss coefficient. Also, need to use platinum, not gold. | |
| NAD 375BEE v Anthem 225 v Cambridge 840v2 Yes. NAD by a long lead imho | |
| Server/DAC Newbie Question Some other very reasonably priced items are the vDAC from Music Fidelity and the HRT (two models, one at 99 dollars and the other at about 299). It sounds as if spending more will be a waste for your purposes based on what I know about your needs ... | |
| radical Rega plinth DIY upgrade So this is all a matter of the aesthetics of the product in that it looks plastic-like? Seems extreme. | |
| Server/DAC Newbie Question You needn't spend anything like the cost of the Bryson. There are many less expensive products available. Stereophile did several reviews recently of $300 DACs that would do the job quite well. |
