| I am sad I agree with @carlsbad2. Presently, I have my beloved DAC in for service, and two days ago bought a used Sony carousel player for $7.49 at Goodwill. Of course, the sound quality is not nearly as good, but I'm enjoying listening just about as much,... | |
| Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs I would love to do the same, and when I can swing it I will, but for a long time I have been using a biwire set of copper cables, an exotic brand from Australia whose name I can't recall. They were given to me as part of a purchase of a tube amp y... | |
| Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs @stillbuyingtoys I'm really glad that you have discovered how good their cables are and what an incredible value they are. I have no temptation to look for something better. From my limited experience, they have balanced performance across the s... | |
| Ypsilon DAC-100? Good sound is good sound whether it's yesterday or today. That brand is known to b ewell built, so I vote yes, buy it. | |
| KEF R3 META or Dynaudio Special 40? @avanti1960 What are you talking about? | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» None of this bothers me. I love music and I still have fun buying and trying new things when I have spare change. What does bother me is using the words then and than incorrectly. It has already happened twice in this thread. | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! There's a non sequitur if I ever saw one...and seven years later at that! | |
| Who's winning? I think the winner is the guy who buys the 30k speaker used for 15k. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @pryso Congratulations on your new speakers. I hope that they work well for you. I think that they will be a good fit in your large room. Thanks for the kind words. | |
| Akiko Audio Loudspeaker Improvers Tweaks shouldn't cost as much as a component. | |
| Pure Silver Wire +1 @soix | |
| Pure Silver Wire @piebaldpython Where have you been for the last 20 years? Silver speaker cables are everywhere. | |
| LoFi I would trade all of the gear that I have ever owned to have friends to listen with like I once had. Listening by myself has its own charms, but I really miss the listening/conversing of my late teens. @stereo5 That was my first thought...what'... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @helomech and @deep_333 I want to be clear in my feelings about the Kismet Reference. I believe that Klaus, and whomever else was responsible for the design, have squeezed every bit of performance from these two fine drivers, and in some ways i... | |
| Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs @ted_b Correction. One of the things that I like best about the Xangsane RCA interconnects is that they specify that the terminations are solid copper with either gold or rhodium plating, unlike many American brands. |
