| How do you arrange the order of your records? Alphabetical by band/artist, then chronological inside that. Jazz are separate as is Classical. However, Classical is a bit of a problem isn't it? Do you sort by composer? By conductor? By performer? I've inherited my father's 3,400 LP collect... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets One thing that I am curious about is if upgraded power cables will eliminate the issue of my lights dimming when listening at reasonable high volume. I had that happen to me in an older home. Over the years the connections at the wall outlet ca... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive Interesting thread! Although we hear in binaural fashion, hearing impediments aside, the world comes at us from all directions. I think part of the reason why "stereo" is the dominant playback method was the technology for both recording and playb... | |
| Am I nuts? I'm guessing it's an early Audio Research? In that case, there are many other possible candidates out there. Don't get me wrong, I'm an ARC fanboy. 😉 But you simply can NOT get lasers for the early ones anymore... In fact, I'm hoping I can still ... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey Early 70's, when I heard pop's double KLH-9 setup with ARC electronics. Late 70's, my double Large Advent setup with Advent 300 pre and GAS Ampzilla. Mid 80's, my Acoustat 1+1s, RHLabs sub, monoblock Hafler DH220s and ARC SP3a Late 90's, pop's ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II "I'm not saying I'll never look at DACs again, but right now, I'm ok👌😊"  How refreshing! An audiophile who says "Good enough!". Well done mate! IMHO this avocation of ours is very subjective. Sometimes it also means we don't stop to "smell the ... | |
| Jadis DA-7 fuse? @imhififan -- Right, I’m aware of how to see a fuse rating from the markings however, there was a fuse in there of questionable lineage so was seeking the RIGHT value. @vair68robert -- Thank you. Fortunately for me Msr. du Pech of Jadis e-mailed ... | |
| I'm not all in on digital systems because I'm not all in on DACs @nonoise My apologies for the delayed response. (Family obligations.) "Now, take into account what you said about DACs being as different as any other component in ones system and I'm back to wondering which one is the most accurate and that desi... | |
| I'm not all in on digital systems because I'm not all in on DACs @nonoise you said... "I'm not a digital guy in that I don't relish the thought of trying out all the different DACs out there. Too many flavors and choices don't get me any closer to the musical truth if they all sound different." You do realize... | |
| Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps @rodman99999 The OP has come here asking for opinions. Yes, of course it's up to his tastes however, my questions were meant to have him consider what his motivations are, not to question that he is motivated to search for something. Â With rega... | |
| Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps If you don't mind my asking, why the 20 year cutoff date? Â I have an ARC SP11 mk2 (1987) that sounds lovely and will likely keep sounding so for decades to come. Prior to that was an SP3-A1 from 1975 that many will agree still sounds wonderful ... | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? @ericsch Hi, sorry for the delayed response. We were off visiting her family for the holiday. Yes, I use a Conrad Johnson Premier 6 pre-preamplifier. If you Google for it the pdf is available on their website. It's quite sensitive to RF and when ... | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? Too bad you committed to an extender... A mesh network is much better for many reasons, not the least of which is throughput: An extender will typically HALF your throughput b/c you're going from one "network" to another. With mesh it's all one ne... | |

| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. Here's my take on it: There's listening to the music then there's listening to your system play music. I'm a software support engineer and if you've seen the news lately, the world is burning because of a new security vulnerability. Last night aft... |
