| What Matters and What is Nonsense Before I started reading Audiogon, I was not a tweaker. Since, I have made many tweaks and modifications to my system.At this point I’m confused as to whether all the thousands of dollars spent were worth the investment. Each tweak seems to breed ... | |
| Highly recommend Paragon Sight and Sound in Ann Arbor, MI Kind of funny video. I get uneasy when women are objectified so blatantly. A speaker is just a hunk of wood and metal that anyone with enough money can buy. A good woman is priceless and can only be had and kept by winning her heart every day. | |
| Dire Straits : what is your favorite pressing? All relative I guess. The studio box set released a few years ago and made in Germany by Pallas is good. There is another version done later in Czechlosvakia by GZ which is atrociously packaged and dirty - needs thorough clean before even first us... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @slaw Reminds me of this gem delivered in a dead pan matter of fact voice by the late great J J Cale,”I can’t swim and I can’t flyI ain’t no fish, I ain’t no bird in the skyI can’t tell if the sun’s gonna shineAnd I don’t know if you’ll ever be mi... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Nice review. I agree with much of your conclusions. We must have similar tastes. | |
| Speaker recomendation @bache Those bachaudio speakers are beautiful and yes you do have more flexibility in sound options if you can use a tube power amp for the mid range - more fun tweaking too! | |
| Speaker recomendation After reading a review of the current Dynaudio FocusXD and XEO line and that they offer, I feel I would be crazy not to consider actives for use in my home. Does anyone have an opinion based on their own listening experience about Dynaudio’s activ... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Schiit Eitr. Inexpensive and it can definitely improve the sound and allow you to get the most out of almost any DAC. Although totally frustrating that most DACs don’t actually work optimally out of the box and need a band-aid like this..... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense ridiculing the only reason this and other audio forums exist+1 That is indeed ridiculous ;-) | |
| Denafrips maybe have a second thought. I have heard the same about another Chinese made DAC that went wrong when virtually new. Fortunately this is rare. Hopefully with the Denafrips it isn’t a design issue otherwise it could happen again. The shipping cost becomes quite a factor for w... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense +1 I agree 100% with OP. S P E A K E R S are F A R more I M P O R T A N T than nonsense from tweakers ! ! ! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( The high end market is doing better than ever. Ordinary bits of wire for multiple $1000s. Fuses for $150 ($149 profit to the seller) and you can buy contact paste that is 100,000 times more expensive than toothpaste!Profits have never ever been hi... | |
| Beware the audio guru The truth is that folks need to be far more wary of the many ridiculous statements made here. Anyone who fights for truth and asks folks to prove or stand by and demonstrate their ludicrous claims is just a healthy skeptic.Beware anecdotal testimo... | |
| Vinyl - Hearing The Beginning of the Song One Revolution Earler Yup. Anyone who knows vinyl knows this. If you listen to vinyl but never heard it then you are just not very observant. Pre-echo is extremely common and normal. If you can’t hear it most of the time (pre-echo affects the entire LP on every LP) the... | |
