| Who’s a good alternative to MCM electronics supply Does Parts Express fit the bill? Here is a second vote for McMaster Carr. I love doing business with them. | |
| Are "listening to" or "listening with" erik, I also sympathize with what you say about doing something professionally spoiling the joy of that subject.Two of my passions are photography and cooking. A lot of people get into those things and then want to do them as a job. That's the las... | |
| Are "listening to" or "listening with" I feel the same way. There are times when you need to listen to the equipment but that is not when I'm happy and in truth, don't find it to be much fun at all. I know for others it is part of the fun and I've got no problem with that at all. Whate... | |
| Bass audition for your system.... @twoleftears My wife sits and reads in a small room just off my 'music room' when she likes what I'm listening too. She doesn't usually like the volume in the 'music room'.One day I was listening to the Saint Saenz and the organ finale rolled arou... | |
| The awakening... @tomic601 I go to the track with one of my best friends (’67 Mustang, 645hp at rear, he does all the work on it) and his wife. His wife is one of my wife's best friends and they hang out all weekend in the tent and bring good food and drink.I thin... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I said before that the idea of a ’holographic’ image is not all that important to me. But if I use that term, and maybe I use it wrong, that represents an image that has a near perfect representation of a projected realistic (sound) image. In othe... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? I found Tedeschi Trucks earlier this year and really love their first album. Their second album gets stelar reviews but leaves me cold. The same thing happened, for me, with Alabama Shakes. I don't dislike either of these band's second albums but ... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect @graystoke:At least most of the other high dollar cables are really really pretty. Of course one has to ask oneself why are they pretty? They are cords after all. They mostly hang out the back of otherwise pretty ugly gear.So one the one hand if I... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it So if I were not going to use it with a powered USB source I would have to buy a wall wart with the right specs? Probably not going to do the battery thing even though I already have one of the Ankers you mention. I don't thing the Anker will char... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it Please don't bring the power cable discussion into any threads where it hasn't already popped up!But that does bring up a question about the Topping D50. It does not appear to come with a power source. Why not? What if I'm not planning on using a ... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect "....the easiest way to appear foolish is to talk about things you know little or nothing about."Agree with this sentiment. But as with so many things there is a corollary. In other words, there will always be things that defy common sense and bel... | |
| The awakening... @tomic601 I do not have a Miata. I have a 350z, which is less capable than a Miata but faster in the straights of course. I do not race. But all I would need to go there is a cage (rather than the rollbar in it now) and a race suit. I have everyth... | |
| The awakening... @noromance Save your money and go! I'm a frugal guy and don't regret a penny I spent over there. Find places where they don't speak English and the menus aren't translated. | |
| The awakening... @elizabeth "Today I spent $360 on two power cords."Yes, but you've already confessed that you have a problem....and that's intended in good humor, Elizabeth. From what you've said in other posts you seem to enjoy the chase. Nothing wrong with that... | |
| Bass audition for your system.... gosta, the Saint Saenz I have is the Telarc I indicated.@twoleftears I love the Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition but do not own it. Is that recording in the link still the go to recording? |
