| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down Been following him for a few years. Unfortunately, 100% of what he covers are priced more than an automobile but I am simply curious.. His presentation style is a bit off-putting to me (I feel he is LECTURING ME but that’s me) and has the tendenc... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Happy as can be with about a $3K commitment for Fluance turntable, Hana cartridge and PSAudio phono pre-amp. | |
| MBL Insolvent Sad to hear but the ultra high end 2 channel market is so minuscule and the prices they are asking sometimes costs more than an Audi SUV or even a Rolls Royce, it is not surprising. The economics is just tough... | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? The other issue I see is the "MetaData"... Steaming services have these all set up. | |
| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! Bruno Putzeys is a legend in the Class D amplification space. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I am sure the more expensive streamers are better but at what cost ? Just like a Rolls Royce Phantom is a much better vehicle but at $500K, I would be very happy with a $100K Audi A8 and have $400K in the bank... | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? My take: Audio Video HDMI is only available within the video world. BluRay players that can play SACDs works only with Home Theater receivers that can decode DSD. I only have experience with SAME BRANDED BluRay and HT Receivers. Not sure how well... | |

| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary I never understood the pricing structure of pure digital sources beyond say a couple of grand USD. I am an electrical engineer by training and can confirm that electronically, bits are bits. The power supply, DAC and analog stage do matter as... | |
| A switch for 3 amps I have an SET Class A Tube AMP and a Marantz SS amp connected to a Douk Audio "LITTLE BEAR". It can also drive two sets of speakers too so you have up to 4 amp/speaker combination. Key is the Little Bear presents a LOAD to the tube amp even if not... | |
| I need a recommendation on Class D amp I really enjoy my Marantz Model 30 integrated... In addition, Bruno Putzey's is a highly regarded Class D audio engineer. | |

| Classical Record Collection Needs New Home Wow.. I wished I was much more local as 90% of my collection is classical. How about contacting libraries / music departments of San Jose State University / Santa Clara Univ / DeAnza / Stanford University etc to see if they have any interest... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. To be clear, I like Mikey and follow him religiously . If he is able to carry sub $5K components, then I will be all over it. I just do not see myself spending $10K to >$20K++ for one component. These are just my priorities in life.... I... |
