| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Please forgive me for butting in. When software such as Pure Music or Audionervana loads the music from the hard drive into RAM, doesn't it make sense to get as much RAM as possible and worry less about the type of storage or connection to the com... | |
| Need Inexpensive Digital Cable 1+ for Blue Jeans cable. Strict 75 Ohm. It is said that cables between .5 meters and 1.5 meters are better. Well made. Affordable. Durable. | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Really, Taters? It's an old complaint. Trolling again? Seriously, that's what these magazines do. They always have. Nothing new. Move on. Don't read them if you don't like it. A great online magazine, Affordable Audio, died because nobody cares.... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? In the day that my girlfriend now wife listened to music, she liked music with lyrics. Songs she knew. Now that I listen mostly to jazz and classical I play her songs when we are listening together. To me music is about the sound and the feeling. ... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube As has already been stated, the pre-amplifier is as important to the sound of class D. One cannot simply swap out an AB amp for a D.

| Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors I would start all over with placement. I only use the Sumiko Master Set method. You set up the speakers to play the room. Once they are properly placed you can set the toe in for the proper imaging. That's trial and error. Good luck. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for In-Wall Book Shelf Zd- I have not had or heard a Naim. How do they differ? Just curious. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for In-Wall Book Shelf I love my Dynaudios VR-1s sitting in the bookshelves driven by a Creek 5350SE. Just amazing how they disappear! They have a very wide and tall soundstage and surprising depth. If you can find them..... | |
| Silicon Under 60, Slim Pickings? I know that most will scoff at this suggestion. The Tripath amplifiers are very transparent. I have a TP-60 from Topping driving Dynaudios in a small loft. Heavy toroidal iron, nice binding posts, Alps volume pot if you need it. Plenty of power fo... | |
| What is the best tube pre-amp for my system If you buy used you get to try in your room with your system. If you don't like it you can sell used and get your money back. It's the only way short of a thirty day dealer demo. | |
| Component cable for long runs Monoprice and Blue Jeans Cable make excellent HDMI cables for long runs. I have one 75 foot and two 50 foot cables that work perfectly. | |
| Hooking up a REL sub using a 2-cored cable Buy a cable with three conductors as it designed. | |
| Dumb Head Phone Question Great headphones like amplifiers. Might I suggest Schiit Audio as a good place to start. |
