| Any other lone audiophiles here? Another lone wolf here, but since I'm not much of a people person it doesn't really bother me. Some of my friends like to come listen from time to time, but only one has a (barely) decent system and he only streams. None of the family members have... | |

I was in my 20s, had component systems since age 15, and still remember thinking how amazing it sounded.Did... | |
| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone Uber- great story, still got a smile on my face from reading it, good for you! I've been through so many cars I lost count long ago. Happy driving and happy listening :)! | |

| Cambridge Audio CD Player Has Died Tascam discontinued their 200iL model but it's still available at pro gear retailers. It got an excellent review and is owned by at least two reviewers at Stereophile. A used Oppo 103 would be a great choice too, as would used models from Marantz ... | |
| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. LOL! Grave's!!! LMAO!!! Made my day. This post is better than 90% of the others, including my own...Tom | |
| Will budget Schiit Modi3 help? I'm using the Modi Multi as the DAC for my Oppo 103. Very happy. It sounds a little warmer than the Oppo's DAC. | |
| Single wired hookup Better yet, why not try them bi-wired? Two of my systems allow for bi-wiring, and both sound better that way versus single wire and jumpers. Not just a little better, enough of a difference even my wife noticed! |
