| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit We are talking about a $300 speaker, right? Not sure if ASR is up for reviewing speakers but if you look at the latest TAS issue that has the Stenhiem $72,000 speakers that he thought were the cats meow, and they had square edges, as well as many ... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit ASR's comment about square edges on the cabinet. Look at the latest review in TAS, the Stenhiem $72,000 speaker has square edges, along with Harbeth and many others which I think are some of the ugliest speakers out there, and I don't like the sou... | |
| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon Dave and Troy- I’m guessing those 2 servers that you found to be the best, you probably sell those too, correct? “Roon has a dedicated Linux program you can use”. Roon provides software for many different OS’s. 99% of computer users don’t know l... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Phantom-av, sure magazines need to make money to stay in business but the audio magazine groups do it the worst way possible compared to other high budget hobby magazines: like car magazines. You can take any 6 of car magazines and they do a much ... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Thank god he’s going to TAS because I don’t read TAS anymore due to their ridiculously always favorable reviews, every product reviewed is the best product ever made. In the past, I refused to read any of Fremer reviews outside of analog products... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Audiotroy is no different than a tas or stereophile reviewer. Have you ever read a post from audiotroy on a product they sell or a review from tas/stereophile that wasn’t the best product ever made? I gave up on the trade mags for this very reason... | |

| Ridiculous sale The op must have purchased a new car that was in demand. The 2000 Honda S2000 was asking $10k over msrp and sold every one. The Enzo, I had a friend that was getting offers $300k over what he paid for his because only a certain number of cars were... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? I tied a lot of these tweaks/gimmicks trying to get usb to sound good years ago and each tweak/gimmick was like putting lipstick on a pig. Got rid of the usb dac and went with a better dac with i2s and Ethernet inputs | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! USB sucks. Of course you will have dealers recommending usb because they want to sell you a number of tweaks/gimmicks to try to improve usb. Ethernet/fiber/network or i2s aware best if your dac supports them but only the better dacs supports thes... | |
| Almost equality I sold my $14k turntable setup and almost 500 albums over 3 years ago when my digital system surpassed vinyl. Will never go back to vinyl | |
