| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @mtbiker29 , no. Just no. As others have mentioned, there is no substitute for auditioning candidate speakers. Case in point: I was intrigued by a certain open baffle speaker vendor's product. Reviews are mostly positive and the quality seemed to... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming @mojo771 I will second the recommendation for an external DAC. I too ordered a Border Patrol DAC online. To put it simply it gives me more: More details, depth, more soundstage. Please note that it is the power supply that is rectified by tube. T... | |

| Audio Research REF 750 pre July 4 FIRE WORKS. TUBE ARC. Just catching up on my Agon reading. 😀 @tattooedtrackman I’m sorry to hear about your experience! That had to have been a shock! I’m not writing about the amp situation however. You said you have a pair of B&W Matrix 800s. As rare as they a... | |
| ML 335: Binding post question @erik_squires don't get me started! 😁 | |
| ML 335: Binding post question @jjss49 Thanks for the pointers. $104 from Cardas? Ouch. @68pete Thanks for the confirmation! @testpilot Not an option as my two other amplifiers have 5 way posts and when I bought these cables (Morrow) I paid to have banana-type connectors put ... | |

| ML 335: Binding post question Hi @dill, I kinda suspected as much. I haven’t found any images and the manual doesn’t say anything about anything but spades or a hook of some type. Thanks! | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC Border Patrol owner here. I got mine to bypass the internal DAC on my Bluesound Node2. I find it has a nice soundstage and when the tube rectification is kicked in, it’s even better. Vocals are enchanting. On the downside, it’s pretty limited ... | |
| Probably a dumb question Seconded on Echo Audio. Good folks, excellent service. Worth the drive down from the Greater Seattle area. Good luck on your hunt! Happy listening. | |
| pS Audio is dealer only now I guess.. Perhaps try refreshing your browser's cache. I just visited the site for the first time and see prices for their products. Happy listening. | |
| Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? I have an ARC SP11 MkII and a VS110. Neither of them are going anywhere. ARC's reputation for quality and durability rather speaks for itself. There aren't many brands that are so sought after on the aftermarket... And should the worst happen, a... | |
| What's your picks I heard these at the Pacific Audio Fest and I gotta tell you, I was impressed: https://vanatoo.com/shop/speakers/transparent-one-encore/ I don't even need a pair and I wanted to buy them. And later on if you move, you can pair with a sub and the... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? @balooo2 mesh is NOT daisy chaining... Here is a better explanation, please see "Star topology versus daisy-chain topology": https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1045875/#point3 The two really are fundamentally different. OTOH if you're comfortab... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? @balooo2 , with respect to your "daisy chain" description, not quite. To daisy chain something means that you configuring whatever to be in series with one another. However a *mesh* system is not "in series". Here's a good explanation: https://ww... |
