| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k So many recommendations with absolutely no context of the components the op currently has? Why the secrecy? Feels disingenuous and makes no sense why you wouldn’t share if you’re truly serious and want to buy based solely on the recommendations of... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS I’ve got a Node 2 streamer hooked up to my MHDT Orchid tube DAC. As has been said, USB isn’t an option with the Node 2 and Toslink should be avoided. That leaves digital coax. I have RCA to balanced XLR. All of my interconnects are very affordable... | |
| Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG I found the add. It doesn’t read as badly as expected. $350 shipping is, putting it lightly, excessive though. I’m having a really hard time understanding how a dealer would be comfortable selling an amp they haven’t inspected or have in their pos... | |
| Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG Is the paragraph you posted of that “sellers” response verbatim? If so, their use of their English language screams non-native English speaker. Could be a scammer not even in the United States. Not a chance in hell I would even consider sending th... | |
| Power cord choice? I’ve got Apogee Duetta II Signatures with a big BAT VK-600 with bat pack solid state amp and VK-5i tube preamp with a Node2 streamer and MHDT Orchid tube DAC. My speaker cables are Symo LS4X. All of my power cords and interconnects are entry level... | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" A term I don’t like, but doesn’t squarely fall under “useless” is “high end” audio. I much prefer “high fidelity” audio because I can tell that to those not in our hobby “high end” is interpreted as we are more concerned about price and bling than... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. I too love my MHDT Orchid tube DAC. Sounds great and has great build quality. | |
| Novice Tidal Question… Your Tidal subscription will recognize when you are using it now and will disable steaming on your home system using BluSound (much of the time). Although, I have noticed in the last several months when I leave the house with music still playing a... | |
| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions I’ve got the Node2. When I first bought it I used the internal DAC. It was ok with high res Tidal streaming. However, when I hooked it up to a MHDT Orchid tube DAC it was a massive upgrade. I also use a digital coax (Node2 to Orchid) and RCA to Ba... | |
| Need help selecting a streamer for a beginner. I’ve got the Node2 and like it. The BlueSound middleware apps are good and I only stream high res these days via Tidal. I recommend just using the Node2 for streaming and getting a DAC. I started off with just the Node2 and it sounded fine, but I ... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... I’ve got a revelation for the screamers that want graphs and science to prove it all for them without their participation. Technical information is a great start, but in the end, how about you methodically switch your cabling directions and listen... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander @millercarbon - I would like to discuss with you, if you are willing, crossovers I’m considering for my Apogee Duetta II Signature Series full range ribbon speakers, but I’m on the fence regarding doing it at all (don’t want to lose the “Apogee” s... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" At least from what I’ve read day-to-day from Paul McGowan regarding designing, and then listening, seemed to apply most to the speakers they are creating where they use the IRS Vs as their archetype sound to try to match and then build upon withou... | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? Sounds like an indirect phishing scam even if it is truly eBay. The compliance costs, safeguarding information alone will be a massive cost increase to companies like eBay. Wait until they have a major breach with information that can empty your b... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I’m in my 40’s, definitely not a “senior”. There are many of us my age or younger in this hobby. They just aren’t’t vocal about their age and maybe not spending a lions share of time on the forums here. There will always be an appeal. Look at how ... |
