| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark "Over the last twenty years the manufacture of top tier bicycle frames has transitioned from Italian, French, and US made frames to Taiwan and China." fsonicsmith- that's a little late regarding how bike manufacturing works. It has been in play ... | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? "Strange that this paper is not yellowed at all as it would for 40+ year old tubes" I have some 50's tubes with original packing paper that is still pliable and appear relatively untouched. 80's tube are practically newborn! It depends where t... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Accept reality- Likley, your setup has several made in China(MIC) products, though the manufacturer may be based in another country. If someone has an aversion to MIC, then no internet(computer/phone/router, all consumer/household goods and just... | |
| Does Lumin T2 Allow Both Analog and Digital Output at the Same Time? "Antenna is no-go for me because I read internet radio has better overall sound." Internet radio certainly will have more variety. "Better overall sound?" What website is making this declaration? I have heard really good file based setups, but n... | |
| HT & Stereo System Fuel Shortage Coming According to Grid Operators Great thread! Does this mean we SHOULD look into changing fuses and cables to weather the oncoming storm? | |
| Best turntable for the buck If you want to stay with the Rega philosophy consider the P8 with the Apheta cart. It will be a significant upgrade to your P3. No need to bother with additional tweaky add ons, just unbox, hookup and play. A separate phono stage would be anothe... | |
| KLH Model Five If Danny sez they're okay, that's a good sign. I give his opinion weight over most since he's qualified to make techie claims. His reveals of what's in top speakers(typically cheap parts) shows the reality of audiophoolery. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Unintentionally adding to my Jesse Ed Davis(JED) collection. Found his debut on a promo white label. The interesting thing based on Discogs fact is there were 3 promo presses, each from different locations. This particular press is the "Monarch... | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm "I’m not saying they’ll go back to 100% made in the USA of highest quality parts." It's delusional to think any American audio company is making 100% American made/sourced product and thriving. That model was extinct decades ago. If anything, i... | |
| Brian Wilson-American Masters bdp24-well you can see it above-it's the entire airing. Likely you'll see nothing new. I just caught a few clips I haven't seen before. The host seemed a little too young(he reminded me of Elvis Costello)to add perspective with his conversations ... | |
| Check this out, if you already haven't. REL Precedent is the one to get if anyone wants FM ultima. The Marantz 10B you can use a the "backup" for stereo. Put the Mac MR71 in the office setup. | |
| Does a REL subwoofer make the speakers' job easier? You're thinking too deeply about it. This is audiophoolery-buy one and try it. There are plenty of happy REL users. The one that aren't simply didn't hear what they were expecting, and went with another brand. | |
| Fact or misinformation? "Spending Thousands of dollars to get a mono cartridge as good as the stereo one for 30 records seem a bit odd almost as bad as buying a reel to reel to play the 30 or so prerecorded tapes that exist." mijostyn- I guess the guys with disposable ... | |
| Fact or misinformation? Sadly, it was the owner of the retail establishment who gave me the no-go request. One exhibitor confirmed my thoughts as to why some wont. If he puts on a request that isn’t popular, he risks driving out the traffic in the room. I get it, so I m... | |
| Fact or misinformation? "i always have a fire extinguisher on hand when i listen to mono lp using my art9" jss49- yes, the mono LP's I play on my ART9 sound amazing. IMO, best "value" cart that gives you an idea what the hyper carts do. |
