| How do you go about selling large speakers? These definitely aren't too large to ship as they aren't that much different in size than many floorstanding speakers that ship routinely strapped to a pallet. The problem is they aren't worth the cost of shipping. I don't think a local dealer w... | |
| Have you ever heard "This Whole World"? I tend to agree with @roxy54 It was an interesting arrangement and I could see how someone who appreciates classical compositions would have his interest piqued. But this song has none of the clever lyrical hooks, a catchy melody, nor any other... | |
| New Cannonball Adderly recordings ... so they have the original analog tape but are only releasing digital? sigh. | |

| Name an artist that had a great debut album and a great final album agreed on John. There are many I suspect though....Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, Steve Ray Vaughn, Nick Drake..... | |
| Qobuz Term of Service They are allowed to bill you if you use their product as proven by either download or stream. You forfeit your right to say service was unfulfilled and demand your payment back. This isn't a lifetime contract, it's just month to month billing in... | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? I don't understand the question. How do you play a MM or MI cart w/o a phono stage? | |
| Wisdom of buying high priced digital gear (given new advancements underway) In a second system I use a Node2 for streamer and pair it with a Benchmark DAC3 with great success. No urge to change anytime soon. | |
| Wisdom of buying high priced digital gear (given new advancements underway) I’ve approached this issue two-fold:1. I separate my streamer/transport/network server from my DAC to provide greater flexibility in future system changes.2. I have chosen a DAC manufacturer who not only makes upgrades available but always has a g... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? @ozzy I leave my unit on 24/7 and have the display set to go to "sleep" after 15 minutes of inactivity. | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? @ozzy When I bought my Lumin U1 the distributer suggested I leave the power supply on for 500-600 hrs but not necessary to be running music through it the whole time. I think the power supply burn-in is a big component of the run-in. I honestly ... | |
| Choosing an SUT? I use the highly versatile Zesto Andros Allasso. With it's range of gain and loadings it allows me great flexibility and it sounds great.https://www.zestoaudio.com/andros-allasso-step-up-transformer-mc-to-mm-extremely-versatile/ | |
| Which To Choose...Devore Fidelity O/93 vs Zu Soul Supreme ? @noromance I would not use the DeVores as they may be too polite with Pass amps. Just curious why you expect this would be the case. The XA25 should actually match very well with this easy to drive speaker. | |
| Choosing an SUT? When using my Herron VTPH-2A, which is also a JFET MC gain stage, I greatly prefer the sound using a SUT into the MM tube section. I've used several carts ranging from 0.3mV - 0.5mV this way and always prefer the SUT into the Herron. Similar res... |
