| Emerald Physics CS2.3 Thanks. Read the TAS article. Also the 6 moons extremely in depth piece, hifivision, audio circle. Really not a lot out there. Unless I am missing something. | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Nice thread. Pretty sure it was Cheap Trick Live at Budokan, probably 1979. Had a cheap receiver/turntable combo, Phillips maybe? Turned it up as loud as possible. Must have sounded like crap! I'm sure it drove my parents crazy but I honestly ... | |
| Beyond Boutique Speakers I guess I'll throw a vote in for John over at Van L Speakerworks in Chicago. He's been slaving away for years making some great sounding speakers. I've enjoyed sitting and listening many times over the last 20 years or so. Although not since he... | |
| McCormack DNA with Schiit Preamp? I used a Saga + for a while with my DNA .5. A good (cheap) intro into SS amp/tube pre combo. Sounded good, adding just a bit of holographic imaging and lushness. But I found it just didn't have enough oomph with the one tube. Was considering a... | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice LOL I should have just asked first before adding my 2 cents! | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice Another great thread, very informative! OP, what is your preamp? Didn't see that mentioned anywhere. My suggestion would be to get yourself a good tube pre and see how you like it with your DNA 500. I'm using a DNA .5 (100 watts) with a Rogue ... | |
| Macbook Air to dac Thanks for the replies. Mahler, what cable are you using?I will look into USB isolators.No balanced inputs on the Rogue. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 integrated Thanks for your thoughts! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Bill BrufordFeels Good to Me 2017 remix on AmazonA recent find, keep going back to it | |
| Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc Used to set up my old American Acoustics party speakers outside for parties and just jamming while gardening. Pretty large back yard for the city. Not audiophile inside, but I was actually impressed how decent they sounded outside. No reflectio... | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? Yes, very timely post. A few months ago I noticed my soundstage was drifting to the left. I messed around with speaker placement and the balance control on my preamp. This seemed to help a bit. I soon realized I had a pretty constant high pitc... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? Zero Stat lol. Unfortunately, I see absolutely no improvement when using. I'd say best used as a paperweight, only its not heavy enough. The maple shade static draining brush looks intriguing.... cheaper too! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brand X - Moroccan rollIntroducing the 11th House with Larry CoryellA couple of recent finds in great shape, sound nice. Now David Grisman Quintet (not vinyl unfortunately) | |
| Cassettes still rock! I don’t play cassettes anymore but my brother does. He has a very inexpensive system in his garage with an old Panasonic cassette player I believe. Maybe 100 old cassettes. Does it sound good? Hell no, it sounds like total crap! But he absolute... | |
| What would you say is THE MOST important factor to good imaging? I never knew good imaging in my room until DIY room treatments - first reflection points and bass traps on the front wall. Instant huge improvement, even with my very modest system. Are treatments the biggest influence? In my experience maybe. ... |
