| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano Oh... somehow, reading through the thread, I missed that fact. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano You’re welcome. The way I see it, there’s no point in banging your head against the wall. I’ve tried it and all it does is generate frustration. ;o) Have you played with speaker positioning much? This can definitely make a difference and... | |
| The Museum vs. Galleries This has changed for me. When I was first exploring Jazz, for example, it was very exciting. It seemed like an entire universe was waiting for me to discover it and most of what I listened to was previously unknown and recently purchased. However... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano If only there was a "dating app" for audiophiles that would facilitate people with various gear to visit each other and listen to what they are interested in.... and might buy, it could be even more fun. This is one benefit of joining a... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @zlone I've been considering the Reuss. I'm curious what, specifically, you'd hope to improve by moving up to the DAC1MK ll. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano Don't know whether anyone has mentioned TMR (The Music Room).

| Oh my goodness! It sounds like you are resigned to buying what you can afford. If you are asking for gear advice, that's unclear. I lived in Maine from '83 to '92. Beautiful state but limited in terms of employment opportunities. | |
| When I listen to my system....... @larsman YMMV but I’ve experienced a big (!) difference in the foot tapping factor when changing integrateds. My current Hegel H390 really moves the music along. Its predecessors by contrast were downright sluggish by comparison. And it is not d... | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? @sscot1961 You got your answer right away from @mknowles16 ! Finding a comfortable neck shape and body style are really important and the only way to discover what’s comfortable for your wife is for her to play a bunch of different guitars. If ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Looking forward to your comparative thoughts on the Merason DAC1 Mkii next. +1 | |
| When I listen to my system....... @mrdecibel I’ve always regarded myself first and foremost as a music lover but if I didn’t care about sonics I wouldn’t be typing this! Stiil, I want to be carried away by the emotional/physical/aesthetic aspects when listening. Carried away fr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant Thanks for alerting us to W. Wolf! Am enjoying him on youtube as I type. BTW, I decided to go with the Cardas Clear Reflection IC’s for my headphone set-up. Should arrive next week. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Somehow I missed this. Thanks for alerting us to this amazing group! |
