| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD A couple of thoughts. Whenever I mention that vinyl doesn’t sound all that good I’m told, and rightfully so I’m sure, that its because my TT, cart and phono-pre are junk. And they are. But the thing is, so are the various CD players I’ve had plugg... | |
| record vinyl to my macbook is it possible? I'm sorry this is a bit off topic but I agree with stevecham. I've been a Mac user since they came out....really before...had an Apple IIe in college. I've never owned anything but Apple. (Have used Windows at work for decades).Apple has grown inc... | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? @rpeluso What do you mean by "Why are you doing this?"The OP went to a paid performance and it was not up to snuff, clearly. If you are in the business of selling tickets for your performance then criticism for poor performances is perfectly legit... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? I have not tried the Winter Gold, but it sounds like a good one. I've had the Cardhu but it has been a few years and I don't remember it.Our alcohol is taxed as well but it doesn't sound as bad as yours. | |

Why does a manufacturer make and sell multi-thousand dollar amps with exotic power supplies but with power cables that are sub... | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! The name and the frank/honest schtick is marketing. It appeals to me. I'm also a tightwad and their approach appeals to me in regard to their product line up.I've got a Modi 2 Uber and for about $110 (used) it has opened up a lot of things to a ne... | |

Nothing fancy but they will do and have enough room for a little aiming if necessary.Up until now they have been sitting on the floor, which is pretty much the worst place for this sort of speaker. I'... | |

| Anyone have experience with a Schiit Wyrd decrapifier? There is a low price...maybe free.... app called Bitperfect that uses iTunes as your catalog but prioritizes playback as the primary function of the computer. Runs in the background. You never see it. Sound card/internal DAC is bypassed if you use... | |
| Will decent speakers always out do headphones? To me there is just something missing in the headphone experience.
