| Flaws in this chain? Thanks, I did not see the adapter.I guess my point is why spend even $150 to correct (purify, decrapify) the signal from a $100 Apple TV? Seems like I should save my money until I can come up with a better wireless solution....whatever that would ... | |
| Young and Dangerous - Album Review (long) roberjerman, I'm not much into modern metal. I was into metal in high school and some in college. Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Quiet Riot, etc. But, in the hopes of saving rock I'll give those bands a listen.When I saw the Struts a few weeks ago o... | |
| Would someone please explain how 'gain' functions? My cheap phono pre-amp has a gain control and a little light that goes from green to red depending on the signal. I never know whether to set it so the red flickers from time to time or never. | |

| Flaws in this chain? Okay, so let me ask the obvious question for an inexperienced audiophile: What does jitter sound like? | |
| Flaws in this chain? Thanks to all for the help. I understand the Modi isn’t all that great but for now it will have to do. But to be honest, playing ripped CDs through it sound quite good to me. Not the same as a CDP but close and in some ways a little less bright a... | |
| Thoughts on Big Star Excellent responses guys. Just what I was looking for. | |
| Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing? All my old albums spent years stacked on record changers. Probably nothing worse for condition or playback. I remember having so many stacked on there that when the last album fell it would slip on top of the other ones and effectively slow the rp... | |
| Thoughts on Big Star Walter, thanks for your response. Time to search for some used CDs.The dynamic range database shows decent recordings of all three of these! | |
| How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener. The first step is always admitting that you have a problem..............;-)Seriously, my goal is to be happy with my gear and addicted to music. My wife is perplexed with the constant flow of used CDs into our mailbox. | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days Good one. |
