| anyone audiophiles/audioholics in Buffalo NY Hi Upstate/Western NY audiophiles. I am near Cooperstown, NY. Right in the middle of the state. I have a friend who has a BEAUTIFUL system nearby AND another who is an actual custom builder and wonderful guy, who runs Tempo Electric in Troy, NY... | |
| Opinion on Buena Vista social club CD? @timoteo666: It definitely does not have a typical studio recording sound. On my system it has a very live sound. I am streaming cd quality from a node 2i with an Emm Labs DAC. I can place all of the musicians and vocalists on the stage (left righ... | |
| Two subwoofers for two channel music listening OP: please see this old thread from about 7 years ago in which I asked a very similar questions. Perhaps there will be some value in it for you:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/setting-up-dual-subwoofers-to-a-two-channel-amp | |
| Two subwoofers for two channel music listening I have had my stereo subs set up in two ways: in both methods I have no crossover and the subs serve as bass augmentation. At first I had my speaker wire running from the amp through the speaker level inputs of two Dayton plate amps (left and ri... | |
| New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound Agosto: if you can I would consider a DAC upgrade as opposed to a streamer upgrade. A DAC upgrade would give you a little more versatility and be a direct replacement for your one piece of gear that is aged out. You can also hook it up to your cd ... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Biggest thing I have learned is how important speaker positioning is to the sound. I have been trying to figure out my speaker positioning in this house ever since we moved in. 5 years!! I might not even have it. There may be a better set up! Less... | |
| Audiogon Is Still Relevent...Don't Listen to the Naysayers. Is there a way to block certain users or hide their comments? | |
| New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound Well I can definitely post my findings about TEAC vs ML here. Not sure though about the Denafrips...Good enough! Looking forward to your thoughts! | |
| Downside to R2R Ladder DACs? @berti For some reason I can’t message you directly from your profile. Would you mind sending me a PM regarding your findings with BP vs Meitner? Which Meitner DAC did you own? How old? How would you characterize the two sounds? I have an Emm ... | |
| 300Bs - does leaving them on shorten their life? There is so much debate about this because powering on is probably the hardest thing you can do to tubes. Personally I always turn mine off when I am finished listening for the day but leave on as long as it is possible I WILL listen. So approx 4-... | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? It’s crazy. I’ve been thinking about it and I have SO MUCH made in China stuff. I use Apple products. My monitors. My surge protectors all kinds of other small appliances. Not to mention probably a lot clothes and gear related to that. I will have... | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? Regarding non audio factors. Question: is the “nothing made in China” policy based on quality for most people? Or ideological/moral? A bit of both? A lot of the stuff going on there is really bad and I am seriously considering a Chinese DAC. the f... | |
| New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound I would be interested to hear your comparison between the teac analog out and the ML. If you can take one for the team please order a Denafrips venus ii and do a shoot out with all three!!! | |
| Mickey Mouse Ears My family had very high-backed leather couches that I distinctly recall amplified the sound of conversation. It was a very noticeable difference. For a listening chair, the sound would at least be changed in some way. I occasionally see system pho... | |
