| Need help choosing speakers for Outlaw Audio receiver Your AVR, processor, amp, etc., should have absolutely nothing to do with your speaker choices outside of power requirements. And asking for speaker recommendations is a fool's game - everyone has their own preferences, and it's usually what they'... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Not if they claim that new power cords and expensive speaker cables change sound. | |

Analog SHOULD sound slightly different than digital. There is no better, just different. In analog, there is measurable distortion. But it is a distortion that is plea... | |
| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! Class D from the 1970's is different than Class D of today. Some people are just stuck in the 'old man tells at cloud' world. Class D is the present and future of audio, save for those who enjoy Tube amps. | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid That's what a lot of these other Audiogon members love. Snake oil. This DAC thing isn't new, but add it to the list of things that are killing this hobby. |
