| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. I'm really sorry for this man. His passion turned into an obsession. Obsession is not healthy and can lead to self destruction... | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is I hear you! Just last year we purchased our 2nd Temperpedic mattress. Called the Cloud. Cost me $4k...for a bed.. not including the foundation! I don't believe it's worth it but the wifey is happy.... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? My 2 Cents being an Audiophile for 50 years. Definitely better with experience. Took some time to gravitate to an all tube system. Well worth the effort. Took some time learn the advantage of belt driven, Oil bearing turntables. Took time to ... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover Great post! Never knew all those details!!! | |
| Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old??? I also have a Premier 17 ls in my system. It has performed flawlessly for over 20 years. I've re-tubed it 3-4 times. I have absolutely no intentions of replacing it. I also run a C-J amp, all tube. Wonderful equipment! | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio That was a interesting read. I'll digest it a bit and read it again. Thanks for your 2 cents! | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio Another tid bit of discovery. I've been playing around with the gain stages. I prefer 70 dB of gain over all other settings. Yes, you get higher volume, but mids and highs are more pronounced. It could be a byproduct of my particular set up ... | |
| Optical Phono Cartridges Rich, thanks for your detailed explanation! It is much appreciated! | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio Tom, I promised my youngest daughter (an aspiring audiophile) that I would gift the C-J unit to her. If not for that, I would have sold it to you . Schiit AI says it's ok to leave the phono on all the time. The C-J unit did not have any power ... | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio December 12th. Still impressed with the Schiit phono stage! No complaints. Definitely sounds better than the C-J unit it replaced. If you're looking for a high quality, lower cost solution for a Phono Stage, this be the one!! | |
| when your hearing is not as good as it was . . . Mendef, join the party! I'm 68 and have hi frequency hearing loss as well as tennitus. I recently added a equalizer to boost the upper end. I also play my music louder than 'normal'. It helps. I can not hear crickets, tree frogs, birds chirpi... | |
| Kef Reference Tweeters-Ferrofluid Replacement Stefano, my pleasure! Hope it worked out okay for you! Lou | |
| Hooked up Shiit Mani incorrectly Ouch! Don't be too hard on yourself. We have all been there. Not wanting to hijack your thread, but do you think home insurance would cover the damages? | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Ah...another Steely Dan Fan! So sad that Walter is no longer with us. Depends on the time of the year....the season. I have different favorites depending on the time of the year. I can listen to Steely Dan really most anytime and be happy. Pi... | |
| Why don't we tire of music? Although there is a bell curve associated with everything in life, I believe most adults don't read the same book or watch the same movie every week, or every month. Once a year, for sure, especially around the holidays.... I have records I... |
