| shy about prices My shopping method is very simple in regards to price. If it’s not readily available, I won’t waste my valuable time hunting for it. As others have stated, in many cases, the amounts they are asking for speakers are outrageously inflated. | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? I have been both pleased and impressed with these SKW speaker cables that I purchased on Amazon. | |
| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? On any equipment I buy, which is pretty much everything I buy, I do exhaustive research on manufacturer history and reputation if I am not already familiar with them. I pour over all the reviews I can find with emphasis on actual user reviews firs... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I can tell you from personal and current experience that the Cambridge CXN V2 has excellent sound, and thanks to their proprietary Stream Magic operating system, it's very easy to use. I stream Qobuz and have been quite happy with the performance. | |
| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house Rather than using garbage bags, use moving size cling wrap to wrap your gear. It can be purchased on Amazon or at Home Depot. The 20" wide rolls work well for audio components and speakers. I use it to store my audio equipment that is not currentl... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described Guess I was lucky on my first and so far only purchase on Audiogon. Got exactly what was described. Personally, I would never buy monitor or bookshelf sized speakers that weren't listed as shipping in original packaging. For floor standers, regard... | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. Guess I need to check the telegraph wires coming into my cave.....I had to go on Amazon just to see what the hell a Himalayan salt lamp was 🤔 | |
| Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers. Another boomer here who also recently got into audio streaming. I went with the Cambridge Audio CXN-V2 network streamer for the simple reason that most of the reviewers stated that it was an excellent first unit with surprisingly good sound. I wil... | |
| Hooked up Shiit Mani incorrectly horsestuff OP No guarantees, but amps generally have fairly robust input circuits since they are designed to work with variable volume. They might have survived the onslaught. It's definitely a good sign that the hum is absent with no input source. | |
| Hooked up Shiit Mani incorrectly perkri The output of a phono cartridge is much lower than a standard line output, so it needs to be boosted for the preamp stage to be able to process it. The phono inputs on preamps and integrated amps sends the phono signal to an internal phono ... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I'm with llg98ljk. At my age, all I would be doing is buying it for someone else, and I have no heirs who would even know what half the gear is for, including my wife. Luckily, I am also very content with my current setup, and the 'maybe I shou... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? If it was earned through good, honest work and/or innovation rather then inheritance, I have never felt inclined to begrudge a wealthy person their prosperity. They were willing to work a lot harder than I ever cared to, so they deserve to reward ... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? I don’t actually own a ’streamer’. Aside from a few LP’s, the upgraded 2 tb SSD in my Sony HAPZ1ES holds every single track I own. I run a toslink feed from my Spectrum receiver to my system for their music channels for when I want the random ’rad... | |
| Scent of an Audio Store I miss the true audio stores from the 60's and 70's. I would hit one several times a year to peruse the latest gear I couldn't afford. | |
| Running a Vacuum Cleaner near Tubes erik_squires I use the Furman SPR-20i conditioner regulator in my system. Our neighborhood power grid has a bad habit of just blinking off and on for no apparent reason. I have actually found that the protection switch has tripped on it after tha... |
