| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? Soix, I put the AZ Holograms in today. I am blown away. Imaging is much better but tonally they are really, really nice. Yeah, I know. In the spirit of the season — “there is some magic in that old silk hat they found.” Glad to hear you se... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k Sleek not slim. That unit is pretty ugly IMO Lol But you think the Naim Unity Nova is good looking? Seriously??? | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s Here. Just get these and be done with it… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650050984-joseph-audio-pulsar/ | |
| Better desktop DAC Total budget; low to medium. That means absolutely nothing to anyone but you. Just give us a number please. | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k Sleek? You’d be hard pressed to find something more sleek than this Devialet… https://www.crutchfield.com/p_285220PRO/Devialet-Expert-220-Pro.html Lyngdorf would also be a great choice. Best of luck. | |
| Power strip recommendations I won’t use this type of surge protection again. I believe the protection device is a sacrificial MOV. So, in addition to the Wiremold power strip I recommended above I bought a used Audience AR1p power conditioner that has one outlet and doesn... | |
| Should I update my manufactures power cords? Send the unit to me and I will upgrade the power supply caps, resistors, etc. which will bow any power cord you an buy away. @bigkidz What would something like that cost? I assume doing this would void the warranty? | |
| Oppo Blu-Ray Players in 2023 I would like to start listening to CDs again Why??? Especially since you said you’ve already sold off all your CDs? Just stream through Qobuz and be happy. What am I missing here? | |
| Peformance at price point for speakers manufactured in China? There’s the obvious risk that if you build a product in China but price it as if it’s made in Europe or the US you’re taking a bit of a risk as many people may choose to not buy a China-based product if it’s priced comparably to something produced... | |
| Should I update my manufactures power cords? “Manufactures” is a verb — you’re looking for the noun, which is “manufacturer’s” power cords. AQ “manufactures” power cords and are a power cord “manufacturer.” One is an action and the other is a thing. See the difference? Argh! | |
| Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7? Yes my SS equipment is on 24-7 330 days a year. I power down when I go on vacation. +1 @jacobsdad2000 That’s what most solid state manufacturers seem to recommend (including Pardo, who knows better about your PS than anyone here). I left my ... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? @grislybutter Yeah, I got the joke and just went with it. Here is the bad news: while your speakers are worth 50K, they are only as good as $500 speakers. Everybody knows that $500 speakers are as good as 3K speakers. Heh heh. And so it go... | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? @freediver Sounds like you found a great match, and I’m obviously with you on the Hifiman sound. Congrats and enjoy! Oh yeah, and most importantly, thank you so much for your service!!! | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? you just feel remorse that you paid 50K for 25K speakers 😄 @grislybutter Quite the opposite. I paid about $3k for my speakers, which by the OP’s math are as good as $10k speakers, which are then comparable with $25k speakers, which are... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? This is devolving from the silly to the absurd. Anyone surprised given the source? |
