| 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. | |
| 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... |
