| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I never debut my system for others because I really don't want or need their input. I built it for me, to sound the way I wanted it to sound, and I'm perfectly happy with the result. | |
| Amplifier used w/ headphones and no speakers connected, can it be damaged? As others have stated, running a solid state integrated sans the speakers will cause no damage. Most integrated amps with a headphone port automatically disable the speaker output when a headphone is plugged in. If your HL5's stop out putting when... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment xp200dr Congratulations! You've reached the same place I've been at for quite awhile. It's a great place to be because it means no more feeding the obsession to try new gear. Now you get to sit back and just enjoy the music. As for the party poop... | |
| Audiophiles in the Wild - They're on to us... That is absolutely hilarious, and absolutely spot on for any hobby! The (not so secret) secret group within a group, where the fanatical pursuit of perfection overrides rational thinking. | |
| The Psychology Of Collecting If your heirs don't share your passion, and they seldom do, your collected treasures eventually end up being somebody else's junk when you pass. Unfortunately, the frivolity of collecting doesn't become apparent until our senior years when mortali... | |
| Useless Things That's why I only order new gear from vendors that have 30 day return policies. It only becomes useless when it can't be returned. | |

| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Although not everyone's cup of tea, I've always thought Wang Chung's albums had consistently good mastering. Their album "To Live And Die In LA" is one of my bench mark players when testing new gear. | |
| No Output from Hegel H390 Not familiar with the Hegel, but on my Eversolo DMP-A8 you have to select both the inputs and outputs you intend to use in the setup program to enable them. | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? baylinor I use the same game plan with Qobuz as my main portal. So far I haven't lost any favorite lists. I recently upgraded to the Eversolo DMP-A8 and was happy to see my favorites list still intact. One thing I avoid as much as possible concern... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? stuartk A very astute observation. Is it live or is it Memorex? Before long, partaking of music could be like the sex in the Stallone movie 'Demolition Man! simao No offense meant and certainly none taken. We're just having what has turned out... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? moto_man To parody my own statement, my grandparents hated my rock music! In their minds, the only music worth listening to came from 'real' musicians like Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Truth be told, I can actually listen to and enjoy music fr... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? Reading through this very interesting post, the theme seems to be that audiophiles are not a dying breed. The dynamics of listening and the equipment used to facilitate it have changed dramatically from our (boomers) days. I recently read an artic... | |

| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? Audiophile listening isn't dying. The music worth listening to is old, just like the audiophiles who listen to it. We are a dying breed of connoisseurs, soon to be extinct. Equipment designers see that and are exploiting their dwindling market be... |
