| New Improved Fink Team Borg Episode 2 Speakers : End-Game Speakers ? I heard the Fink speakers last year at the Florida audio show. They were equal to my small 2 way floorstanding speakers that cost tens of thousands less. I didn’t hear anything that set them apart from a decent smaller 2 way speaker from say Totem... | |
| Stereophile and the love of hotel decor Last years Tampa show, all the audio mags stated there were large crowds, and crowded rooms. The only room that was crowded was the dining room. We didn’t see anybody on some floors, we were the only 1’s in some rooms, why didn’t they report this?... | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? Ps audio bhk easily over the benchmark. All benchmark products especially their dacs are so bright sounding, goes past cool/analytical sounding. I have the BHK. | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC 4 guys, wow! I have been on forums that have hundreds/thousands of customers/owners of the dac I have, but that doesn’t mean the OP will like it over the others he listed. My dac is also listed in stereophile’s A+ category of DACs which means jack... | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier Get a PS Audio Sprout 100 integrated with an external Apple TV 4K box and your system will sound better that the Powernode and the Apple TV 4K piece will give you more flexibility for streaming music and tv. This is the setup I use in my living ro... | |
| Ripping CD's to SSD? What a PITA! I remember when I had to do this before I got rid of my unit. You don’t need the usb stick, point XLD to your linked network drive which is the aurender disk. BTW: how many of you aurender users backup your aurender disk drives that ... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? “Now "audiophile" ethernet switches are designed to improve delivery of error free bits to the streamer by use of improved power supplies, grounding, shielding, clocking, and other methods.” Switches don’t improve the error free delivery, all pac... | |

| Appropriate Apple table for Roon Roon is pretty easy to set up. You can use an iPad or an iPhone or even a Mac as the users device to play music. You will need a computer to run Roon core, an old Mac mini with a ssd drive and 16G of ram will work. A $200 raspberry pi will also wo... | |
| cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970? I wouldn’t own any speaker that is over 10 years old. I had some of the top of the line speakers for their day (50 years ago and newer) and wouldn’t even think about owning any of them now. There have been many advancements in speakers in the las... | |
| Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts? Audiogon used to be but not in the top 5 anymore. I rate agon a step up from ANA. As far as magazines, they all are pretty bad. Have you ever seen a review in the last couple of years that haven’t ended with it stating: 1) using this reviewed co... | |
| pS Audio is dealer only now I guess.. I’m using a vpn and I can add the new mkii dac to my cart to purchase. | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Kind of hard to recommend equipment when you said nothing about your room. If you don’t have a good room then you will be wasting your money. if you have a smallish room then it would be foolish to recommend a large floorstanding speaker and if y... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated All integrateds are a compromise, they have to be, and this could be a good or bad thing. No integrated that I know of has the exact same phono preamp guts of their best separates. Same for dac, preamp, and amp. But the good thing about integrate... |
