TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
Just get a better speaker! There are many many out there from $500 on up 
To Stream or Not to Stream
If you are going into streaming, get a good quality dac, that's the most important piece. You don't need a dedicated streamer, been there. Get Roon, run it on a Linux or Mac and use any input on your dac as long it isn't usb or toslink or digital ... 
How many dealers do you use?
I have visited many audio dealers for over 30 years, lately with audio clubs. I have visited a few in Atlanta that have very nice equipment but sound like crap. Some of the best sounding dealers are/were Definitive Audio in Washington state, and t... 
Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?
I can't believe there is so much misinformation on this thread. 1) Backups go bad. Are you backing up to paper tape? Tape? Backups don't fail, its people who fail to backup. If you are backing up to disk, all disks will eventually go bad, but the ... 
The Miller Carbon Story
Its all about you and your journey of trying to convince people that the cheaper stuff you have is the best out there. Origin makes OK turntables with their rebuilt Rega arms. Again, just like your speakers, just because you talked to somebody doe... 
Speaker Road Trip
Of course audiotroy has a pair of Dali’s for sale, that’s why he recommended them. If you are going to buy the Dali’s, you should buy them from the dealer that set them up for you to hear. It’s not right for people to go to brick and mortar stores... 
Magnepan, Best midrange?
Millercarbon- give up the sales pitch. Just because you drank the tekton koolaid and with going dirt cheap, most other good speakers (magnepan, vandersteen, Wilson, and hundreds of others) surpass your tektons, for the same price or cheaper.  
Listening to digital and analog
I just love it when somebody buys the cheapest digital crap on the market then claims it doesn't sound good. (or when somebody buys cheap stuff and claims it beats $1m systems). Why not get some decent equipment before you actually see what good s... 
PS auido Direct stream Dac
The Ds dac competes with the best out there. Most reviewers use the DS dac and compares their reviewed dac with the DS. The best inputs to us in any dac are Ethernet and i2s but most of the cheaper dacs don’t include them. The other benefit of the... 
My experience with bi-wiring
b8ujps - I think you might have spelled that word wrong. Here is a guy that has a cheap system that calls out great speaker designers. Who can do this and actually think people will listen to him? IMO, I would listen to the great speaker designers... 
I had a few drinks and bought some speakers
MC did the same thing, or was it that his speakers were sounding better and better the more he drank.  
Power Conditioner vs A/C cables
Power ‘filters’ are terrible, they normally take more away than help the sq. You want a power regenerator or use balanced power to get the best out of your system.How much to spend or how much improvement you are going to hear all depends on the q... 
Cables, just as important as a hi end component?
Douglas-I agree with you. MC is a prime example of this. Dump down/cheap down on components and think they have the best sounding system on the west coast.Jason-wire is wire? Then an amp is an amp? Speaker is a speaker? Cartridge is a cartridge? W... 
The new Raidho’s vs the new Borressen’s ?
Raidho D-4.1's are very nice. For a bigger room you might need a couple of subwoofers, but you might need these for any speaker. IMO, These would be a huge step up from magnepan's but so is the cost 
This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree
Is this list the best components you will find in your closest goodwill store? If you were going to pay $10 or less, then these components would be a some kind of list. Cassette tape was doomed when it started: not enough tape to record on, heat i...
