| How does sound influence your appreciation? A while back I posted that I love my system now that it's dialed in. It took my last speaker purchase to get to the point where practically everything sounds great, save for the poorly recorded stuff. It's gotten to the point where I no longer l... | |
| I need a little help from a UK, German, Greek or Israel member. I just went and googled bazaraki.com and asked if it was legit. You need to do the same and then get back to us. Lots of scams on what's considered a "legitimate" site. There's even a site showing how they can scam people. Seems like having a ph... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving to All! @secretguy Sorry to hear of your back surgery as it brought back memories of my brother in law's 12 hour surgery (supposed to be 2 -3 hours max). It took him a year to learn to walk again and still has drop-foot in one of his feet. He had a great... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving to All! Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Don’t overdo it like I just did. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Kilpisch + Ojas kO-R1 Lots of designs have the base speaker not only behind the front baffle, but also partially covered. You'll still hear and appreciate the base. All the best, Nonoise | |
| DH Labs DH Labs is having their 20% off sale until Saturday (excludes D-110 Silver Reference and only applies to orders over $100.00). They have a return policy as well. Like mentioned, you won't know until you try. All the best, Nonoise | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... I'm not sticking up for Andrew Robinson but he related a story about audio snobbery in the old days when you'd walk in to listen to something and how it compared to buying his first Ferrari as a youngster and being treated like a nobody because of... | |
| Looking for a CD Player As of 2022, CDs accounted for less than 3% of music sales. As of 2023, in England, CDs and vinyl accounted for 9.4% of music sales and year to year growth for CDs is at 5.4% ($127 million). In the EU, CDs account for over 10% of all sales wit... | |
| Looking for a CD Player For those with working memories, it was not that long ago that I and others noted that we’re not that into streaming, don’t think it’s as good as CDs, artists not properly compensated, etc. and got lambasted for "butting in" on an "open conversati... | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? How do you separate your perception from your expectations? So if expect there not to be an improvement from break in, then you won't hear it. Got it. All the best, Nonoise | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... bruce +1 That was very refreshing and most appreciated. (not to mention, succinct) All the best, Nonoise | |
| Looking for a CD Player If all you want is to play CDs, this new CDP from Exposure might work for you. It uses old, 1990s tech with a CD only Sony transport and Burr-Brown PCM1704 multibit DACs and is a top loader, at just $3000. Here's a review of it and here's a vid... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... Andrew Robinson (hate him if you want to) recently reviewed Marantz's new line of speakers and streaming integrateds for the Gen Z crowd (see other contentious thread on that) and pointed out the poor and light weight build quality of it. Performa... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh Shareholders behind Bose are no different than shareholders behind other companies. They want quick returns on their investments. Does anyone here really think they're into high end like we are? They'll keep the image, promote the myth and cut c... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh Bose is into cost cutting, especially after acquiring some new product lines from other companies. They make products for the masses. Do the math. All the best, Nonoise |
