| It was 61 years ago today... I was there and the experience informed the rest of my life: the Acid, The Dead , I saw over 300 GD shows and I don't regret a single minute of it. Culturally J,P,G&R formed us all and anyone who sez otherwise is just lying or Dead Wrong. The ... | |
| what cd player ? Get a DAC you'll need it later anyway and then almost any transport will be ok. I use a Pro-Ject and an integrated with a DAC; Just to eliminate the analog connections is such a relief. | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey Works for me | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey dman1974 some posts seem to have got little off point (!) as usual. When I read your original post I just thought YES! Right on you are so right that is the right advice. Speakers-Power-Cables even a semi modest system (like my own) can sound pret... | |
| Class D with high efficiency speakers I am running Peachtree Nova 300 and Harbeth 30.1 24/7 with no probs at all and electric bill is almost un impacted. With a little effort -cords, ethernet- it sounds really good. | |
| Baffled and Frustrated: Streaming/DAC Sound Issues I have the exact problem I know the sound of which you speak. I use RP or Amazon with an optical cable and BluOS. That little crunch will drive you crazy and it appears out of nowhere when your set up is working fine so…nbad wire maybe…just today ... | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! Whatev Man | |
| Not sure what to think or do... Just a little story here; I have been running my system in my bedroom literally 24/7 for almost a year- I have issues- Harbeth 30.1's I bought new in '17 and a Peachtree Nova 300 and Bluesound Node just streaming. The other night, POP, everything... | |
| Power cable dilemma I’m using cheap Pangea I do not like but I do not know on what direction to proceed with power cord to power Harbeth 30.1 with 300 S/S. ???? | |
| The revolution has begun! I love the Peachtree gear I use now right out of the box for cost and performance with BlueOS and Nova 300 DAC. Most bros around on site here don’t yet have flip phone… | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? yes | |
| Low buzzing through speaks On that note; I have been waiting for this to come up, I live in SoCal in the SDG&E jurisdiction just by the way. I have never had a type AB Amp that didn't buzz and now I have a type D that is quiet as as a a night full of stars for no appar... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? This is great stuff but what it makes me want to weep for is all the stuff in the last 50 years I've either left behind or given away to kids, step kids, grandkids, storage spaces never saw again and etc. Klipsch speakers, Tannoy speakers, old sub... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives It's been said many times before: Harbeth. I use the Bluesound Node with a outboard DAC, configure Bluesound to disable it's DAC/clock when doing so. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Never happened to me; only so called engineers" here about tend to think they can always build it better & cheaper signed- the inspector |
