| FREE - THIEL CS 2_2 to a Good Home Great speaker, great gesture. | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? @auronthas I’m glad to hear you solved your problem. Getting a better interconnect is up to you. The purpose of spending more money is to get better sound, and to give yourself peace-of-mind that you’re doing everything, within your means, to achi... | |
| What’s the deal with high end CD transports not having the ability to program tracks!? I would be disappointed to purchase a relatively expensive transport and find I can’t program it; but then, I don’t know what’s involved in implementing that function (complexity/cost), either. I’m still trying to understand why disks aren’t index... | |
| This is good Schiit... The Analog 2 cards bring a much more coherent sound stage to the Yggdrasil as I found out when I upgraded my Yggdrasil GS. The ‘Less is More’ chip option got the best reviews. The upgrade was well worth the money. Have no experience with BS Node 2... | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? It seems to me that if the noise goes away when you unplug the DAC, then the problem is in the DAC or its source. | |
| Should Audiogon forum dealers be held to a different standard? I’m not sure about instituting different standards for dealers. Should we also institute standards to differentiate between ‘experts’ and ‘noobs?’ Personally, I find I welcome posts from dealers, especially when they self-identify. When it is an o... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @audioguy85 +1 on the Music Hall products, I purchased a used mmf-5.3 for all the reasons you listed. Solved all my vinyl playback issues and looks great on the shelf. | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit @james633 Thank you for a helpful contribution to the discussion, and especially for identifying those qualities of any speaker that are important and that can be measured. Speaker designers and those who evaluate speaker designs have learned to t... | |
| Need suggestions: High pitched female singers +1 on Sarah Brightman and whoever played Giilda in the Metropoloitan Opera’s recent production of Rigoletto (which was on PBS yesterday afternoon 6/21/22), her duets with the title character were just amazing. I would be interested in listening to... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? Install a transformer between your feed and theirs? | |
| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? @auidiodebe When you write I’ve had numerous electronic components hum in this particular room. In the room just next door, dead quiet. I can see why you asked the question as you did. While using a tester is a good suggestion, the tool is often... | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? $600 to $1,000 for the Volume Control? Good Grief! No wonder the reviewers take the time to talk about them. I thought the cost was $50 to $100 before we start talking about ‘knob feel.’ | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy I like my original Auralic Aries, purchased used, with its ultra quiet power supply. I’ve only had it for a couple of months now to, like you, check out what this streaming is all about. Auralic recommends a wireless connection, so I bought a seco... | |
| Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread @rdk777 I stand corrected. I really don’t know what to think now. I don’t have any relationship with the manufacturer in question, and agree very much with @woodsage that he he should never have gotten himself in the spot he’s in. But as curious a... | |
| Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread David’s response above seems pretty factual to me. Case closed, as far as I can tell. |
