| How rare is an audiophile Being an audiophile has nothing to do with lp sales, lp is just a very small group that likes to listen to vinyl. Not a big deal. Being a musician doesn't mean that you will never have decent equipment to play music on (I’ve been a musician for ov... | |
| Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services? If you don’t want to do the little computer work to setup a server (setting up osx or linux, configure the disks for music and backups, and preferably using i2s or network to your dac) then buy a music server, but your job isn’t over even if you b... | |
| Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services? Most people don’t know how to setup a good quality network in your house. Most people get a modem/router from the IP and they are off and running. I did enterprise networks in the late 80’s/early 90’s and there are configurations that need to be s... | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? Pretty simple: my audio system has to stay within the cost of my current sports car, < $125k. It’s a compromise my wife and I made years ago, 1 hobby can’t be more expensive than the cost of the other. Also, must pay cash for everything. Don’t ... | |
| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test Software is the main difference. I went the external streamer route then went back. Roon on any OS vs Audirvana on Linux, that’s the test you want to do. | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? For almost 50 years, I know what certain instruments sounds like because I have them or my band members had them. Sure a Marshall amp sounds different than a fender tube amp, a Rickenbacker sounds different than a Stratocaster or a Les Paul, and a... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update You don’t have to have intelligence to be an audiophile and this case proves it. So many so called audiophiles/reviewers/analog purists thought the albums they bought sounded excellent until they found out that some of the albums were cut with DSD... | |
| notable consolidation possibility, should I or not? Anytime you get an integrated amp with a dac, phono stage, streaming functionality, the manufacturer is putting compromised pieces together compared to separates. That’s not to say there aren’t very good all in 1 integrateds that sound great. Go 1... | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? ‘I’d assumed given Audio Reseach’s pedigree and long standing high end tenure they’d be on very solid ground financially.’ How many people do you think buy ARC equipment? ARC builds great equipment that 99.9999% of the world doesn’t know about no... | |
| Revel F228be Rotel is the weak link. Revel speakers need good quality power. If you can find a pair of Revel Studio 2’s used for a similar price, I would get the studios plus you will need a quality amp but you won’t be disappointed | |
| EBAY MONEY BACK.......WHAT A JOKE ??? Get with PayPal or your credit card and dispute the charge | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report Kenjit - the room admins have every right not to allow everybody to -lay their own music and I agree with them. Most of the music I have heard in rooms was garbage and it takes forever for the admin to cue up a specific track. 1 clown couldn’t rem... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Most of these ignorant replies sound exactly like the audiophool cable naysayers on ANA. How can a $50 cable sound better than my .02 cent cable, must be snake oil. That’s exactly how most of these posts sound. So many wrong posts. The post about ... | |
| MQA Declares Bankruptcy kenjit - either get a quality audio system or a set of ears, maybe both and listen to real music | |
| 2023 DAC comparison: MSB Select vs dCS Vivaldi Apex vs Wadax Atlantis Reference FYI: the wadax combo along with some $150k reference loudspeakers were in one of the worst sounding rooms at last years Axpona according to multiple reviewers/sources. In the past, years ago, I preferred other dacs to the at the time best dac MSB... |
