| Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i I recently had an issue with the buffering (producing intermittent cutouts) on a Node2 and simply unplugged it and replugged it (reboot). Problem went away. Have you tried a simple reboot? | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Ok, 24 hours later and I embarrassingly now need to confess that I'm not preferring the Gold Lions over stock EH's in the Herron. At first I was smitten with the reduced noise, blacker background, silky smooth mids and extended bass. I am now re... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think The 7-inch woofer in my Spendor D7s produces much lower (into the upper 20Hz range) and dynamic bass than the 12-inch driver and 15-inch passive radiator in my Klipsch Forte III (38Hz). It's not even close. The Spendors are tight, detailed, neve... | |

| Diminishing Returns @rv Understood now...then I share your joy of being at a better place in your musical happiness ;-) | |
| Diminishing Returns @rvpiano Do YOU feel better now? I suppose my point is that I believe it’s possible to be happy with the gear that you have, be fully immersed in the joy of music, and yet still enjoy staying up on equipment advancements, new offerings, and other... | |
| Diminishing Returns Thanks for sharing that you've become bored with us. Feel better now? | |
| Opinions what are the best floor standing speakers in these ranges $$?? I'd like to know the absolute best speaker in the $343-$347 range. | |
| 2020 Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees I don't understand why a Hall of Fame for creative arts is even needed. Manufactured by profiteers solely as a marketing event. | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC I’ve never heard it but perhaps PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube DAC? I’m just thinking about the warmth it possibly brings. Personally I prefer to attain detail and clarity in a DAC and add the warmth down the chain via tube linestage and Class A amp. | |
| How old to qualify for vintage? @teo_audio Yes! The most overused audiophile gear descriptor of 2019. | |
| How old to qualify for vintage? I'm just waiting for hifi to start using trendy marketing terms like small-batch, or artisanal. |
