| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? Do you need to sell it? Are you desperate? If so then respond. If it’s a ridiculous offer I’ll respond with a higher amount than what it is listed for. Most of the time I don’t respond. House bids are different, the realtor has to submit the offer... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts Your network is the key. I have had gigabit networks for over 6 years and 4 of them were fiber. Fiber is the ultimate because it’s fiber which is much less noisy which you can see and hear in streaming, lowest latencies, and ultra low jitter. Als... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? The OP is flat out wrong about the better internet reviewers. Kmart gear, really? Have you seen Jay's Audio equipment? Jay has spent more on room acoustics than most magazine reviewers paid for their reference gear. I would listen to the better in... | |
| Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections “Bi-wire is nonsense”. This statement is nonsense! Nobody knows if the speakers you own will sound better if you biwire them or not. I tri-wire my speakers which are the same recommendations from the dealer/manufacturer recommend. Don’t let nons... | |
| And Awaaay We Go! 1 big sales pitch for each of his components. They get all of this equipment at a drastic savings and there was controversy over how much these reviewers get paid by the manufacturers to give them glowing reviews. I quit TAS and the other audio ma... | |
| Add External DAC or Upgrade to a New Streamer / DAC? Ap1-not true. Like others that have stated above, The best interfaces to a dac are Ethernet and i2s. Most dacs don’t include these interfaces except for the better ones. Toslink would be good except it limits what can be sent thru it. Nobody uses ... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? There is no excuse for not auditioning before purchase, unless you can get a dealer/manufacturer to send them to you with a 7 day return policy with no restocking fee. Somebody mentioned they wouldn’t fly because it would be an expensive plane ti... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Who ever said that tubes sound better than SS? I have never heard a tube amp no matter the cost control the woofers that a SS amp can. Midrange and tweeter can sound sweet with tube amps but SS can too. | |
| Is simpler better? K.I.S.S. I have better sound quality with 1/2 the gear I used to have | |
| Baffled by Pricing Strategy Depends. 2 years ago I almost doubled the price of my used cars and boat (compared to what the used prices should have been before 2020) and people paid the new increase in price. Have you seen the price of new boats since 2020? I got more for my ... | |
| Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers Did this writeup claim MC speakers bettered the $1M Wilson’s? Did they ever find the allusive $1M Wilson speakers? Almost every issue of stereophile contains a low budget system all the way to the more expensive systems. Well, they met their goal... | |
| Final? ARC Chapter... ARC had some nice stuff. It was caught in the middle of mid fi and hifi but with prices like hifi. Kind of like McIntosh. I think ARC equipment (amps/preamps/phono preamp) are better sounding than say parasound and bryston but not in the same leag... | |
| Used PS Audio Items A bunch of BS! I own all of the latest ps audio products and have had some of their earlier versions and if I needed support, they were there. No equipment issue, so didn’t have to send anything in. I just did some searching on Google and in the ... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? I think most Klipsch and the MG 20.7/30.7 speakers are not that good. There is no low end in any of these speakers and the 30.7’s sounded so bad when we heard them on their intro tour. I did have a friend that owned a pair of Klipschorn’s around ... | |
| Garbage In Garbage out Why would anybody watch the ocd hifi guy videos? What a joke. |
