| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections A friend, whose ears I trust, auditioned the benchmark against multiple other preamplifiers and said that while it is quiet, it is flat and boring and without color. So be warned! I found that to be true with their amplifier as well, which I had i... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @gerihifi I stream Qobuz, but Spotify has its place. | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito There was a time when I considered getting into real to reel and buying music from the tape project. I inquired about the price, thought it was a little expensive but maybe I could swing it, and then I found out that the price was per minute! I w... | |
| Question for Weiss Dac 501 Owners Following this thread. I have not tried the DSP functions yet. | |
| After the thrill is gone I don’t think there is an ultimate solution, because it’s so much depends on the room you have available. I have tried quads and Maggies in my listening room, and although I like them quite a bit in other spaces, dynamics seem to do better for me... | |

| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Wow, so many absolute statements! Like it’s that simple…. Listen to the statements that cover the spectrum. | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark @sparksgja +1 | |
| The vanishing stereo rack I am very enthusiastic about the concept. Might not be what you put in a dedicated listening room, but for family shared space, you might get more sound quality out of these than any other option acceptable to the family. Lots of potential here. | |
| Good but cheap bluetooth speakers I have an ultimate ears wonder boom, and it is really very good. For the price, you could get two, and they would work in stereo. | |
| Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables. I am looking for advice as to whether it would be worthwhile to add the SOTA speed controller for a simple VPI scout turntable. Is that inconsistent with the value of the turntable, or worthwhile? Thanks in advance. | |
