| Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....? I took a friend to CES/The SHOW about 20 years ago. He told me I was crazy spending $50k or more on an audio system. He thought it couldn’t get much better than his $2000 system and he thought he couldn’t hear that well. After the 1st room, he ha... | |
| Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!! I have bought and sold gear all over the world. Watch out, there are a lot of traps/gotchas when selling worldwide. There is no tracking equipment once it leaves the states, so make sure you are paid with no returns, the buyer overseas takes the r... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? I much prefer fpga based dacs. Numerous reasons: sound great, software updatable, more easily handle the hires or dsd files. | |
| Ken Fritz article Carlsbad2 - couldn’t agree with you more, especially your opening sentence. You can tell who is successful in their life and who isn’t. Here are some quotes that I feel successful people resemble; Success often requires sacrifice and discomfort;... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz I used to be with tidal and loved it with MQA. Tidal also has more of the newer music (jazz, blues, prog rock, hard rock, new age) than Qobuz. But the BB/tidal fiasco sent me over to Qobuz. After converting all of my music over, I have some albums... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Been doing this since the early 70’s. Those Revels are keepers IMO. my biggest expenses have been 4 custom audio rooms, a couple of them based on Rives Audio designs and 1 using feedback from Cardas, and copied 1 design from a hifi+ reviewer. Now... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Somebody that has a limited budget on these threads always thinks that he has magical insights into being an audiophile that others don’t have, which is far from the truth. I know many people (in audio clubs and in virtual settings) that have mone... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz It’s been a while since I did this. When I signed up for Qobuz, Qobuz asked if I needed to convert from tidal and when I said yes, they gave me access to this program. I’ll see if I can find this program. | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz I converted from tidal to Qobuz earlier this year. I still think MQA sounded better than flax on Qobuz. I also think that tidal has more music that I like: prog rock, jazz, blues, rock, jazz. I used the free program when I went to Qobuz that used ... | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? With a large room, why are you placing the speakers 3’ from the wall? When I had a room this size, speakers were 9’ from the front wall. | |
| Building a dedicated listening room I’ve built multiple dedicated audio rooms in my latest custom houses. The best room was a room inside another room to get the ideal dimensions. The whole house had closed cell spray foam insulation (the attic in the south during the summers never ... | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers So many better speakers out there for the same or less money. If you like loud stuff (not quality) then go for it or buy a pair of cerwin Vega’s. if you want some pretty good open baffle speakers, check out underwood hifi EP series. Heard some a ... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? Heard these and their bigger brother over a year ago at the Tampa show. Nothing special. The Kim’s cost 2x than what they are worth compared to other like speakers. Their Borg models are $30k more than what they are worth. I love AMT drivers, I ha... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described The clown didn’t know how to pack the speakers. Case closed. You won’t be able to try to get your carrier to cover the damages unless they packaged them. You don’t pack any audio product with just 1 wrap of bubble wrap. Call the credit card bank ... | |
| Help for a Lo-Fi guy Ask Kurt at echo audio (echohifi.com) to see what he would give you for them. He does consignments too. He is good to work with |
