| Anyone hear the Van Alstine CA1 Control Amplifier or NP1 amp demoed? @grislybutter I use Van Alstine SET 120 Power amp. Check out part time audiophiles review of it. Re: CA1. I have not heard it. From how folks are describing it, it is not the sound that I chase ;-) | |

| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. If, as some have suggested, this is a societal issue, another sign that the gap in wealth is growing and being concentrated more among an ever decreasing percentage of the population, then that’s a sad indictment of where we’re all at. The good... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Yes Krell is for old farts. There were two videos with contrasting appeal referenced in the OP for that reason. I guess we take away what we want to take away. AI determines who your videos are shown to. This has to do with your topics AND the ... | |
| Any owners of Schitt Bifrost 2? You said the main reason for Bifrost is that it's upgradable. Unfortunately it's not user upgradable. You have to mail it to Schiit and they do the operation...so you're looking at about a $350 upgrade and being without a DAC for a bit... | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. I don't think the Schiit Saga passive can be beat for transparency...looks like they ditched the tube with the latest model. With the relay stepped ladder volume control, you get perfect channel matching and no noise or distortion. It's as transp... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Krell is a legacy brand from the 1980s...same with Levinson. So that explains the age demographic. If you were to look at YouTube age demographics for YouTubers that promote mid-fi and chi-fi, you would find mostly men under 50...the Reddit crowd... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @coppy777 The analog output is a great way to get sound color if you're using a discrete circuit...R2R is another way....tubes another way. If you don't want sound color in the DAC though...using an OP amp is fine. That's what Benchmark is doing... | |
| MoFi or Harbeth (used) My concern with Mofi, as is the case with all Andrew Jones speakers, is that after the initial intro dealers just start discounting them like crazy which has a detrimental affect on resale value. Harbeth is a known quantity and if you buy used ca... | |
| Six DAC Comparison For me it comes down to where I want to color the sound. The DAC, pre, and power amp are all viable contenders. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. I find it interesting that we can get so emotional on the topic of cables...it's the science types poking at those who are invested in cables...and the investors getting defensive. I side with the investors because 9 out of 10 times they are mind... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. Thanks for sharing. That's the best treated/looking small room I can remember seeing. The only over the top thing that could be done is building in a floor cavity to deal with the floor bounce. I saw that once in a home theatre. Great work! I'm... | |
| Leave it Open or Close it Off: A Listening/ Living Room Dilemma when i leave the door open behind my listening position...the bass is more even as confirmed by my measurement mic. It's effectively a free full range bass trap. | |
| Audiogon seller's question Lets say I buy a $2000 pair of speakers Friends & Family...I also pay extra for insurance....but lets say the packing isn't great....insurance will blame the packaging and deny the claim... so good luck getting the seller to give back $2000 i... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. For the people out there that buy bass traps and don't find much results...I have discovered: 1. The treatments are usually in the wrong places (low velocity areas). 2. The treatments aren't thick enough or heavy enough...foam wedges on amazon... |
