| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Conspicuous consumption rules! The rich deserve everything they desire.sfseay, I’d guess that the cost of your system could feed quite a few hungry people. I’m surprised that you don’t realize that we are the rich. | |
| Looks like Tidal is doomed! That's OK, Qobuz is coming. | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 repluso, Dylan became famous for writing "protest" songs. He soon moved beyond that phase of his career but people kept demanding that he write more of them. Dylan called them his "finger pointing songs" and said that he just wrote them because th... | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 This thread is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Most people in the world have trouble getting enough to eat, forget about buying a high-end stereo or even a car. So if ultra high-end stereo offends you, take a look in the mirror and r... | |
| Talk but not walk? Michael, We can read about audio and tuning as much as we want and it will not tell us if we will enjoy music on whatever system is being written about. The only way to know is to listen. Why not get a room at one of the audio shows and set up a $... | |
| It really comes to something when a brand as iconic as Gibson Guitars cant stay afloat! It may be a good thing. They tried to diversify the Gibson brand into other products and borrowed a lot of money to do it. Bad news for investors but it may get them focused back on making great guitars. | |
| Lumin D2 Hmm... That’s odd. If you click on the_________icon next to the Lumin D2 on your tablet’s screen do you get a drop down list that includes a Tidal icon?You can try the Bubble UPnP app. I think you get it free for 30 days then it stops working and ... | |
| Lumin D2 I don’t think Linn is supporting Lumin. The Linn Kazoo is their basic app and it happens to work with Lumin players. If you don’t want to try it, that’s OK with me. | |
| Lumin D2 The Lumin app is supposed to work much better with the ipad. I have an Android tablet and I can't get the Lumin app to do anything. I use the Linn Kazoo app (free) and it works very well with the Lumin. | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members When you have $100.00-300.00 receivers, integrated amps and low mass specialty amps competing with HEA components it’s pretty much game over. The only thing really holding HEA together is the Appeal of something High End itself, it’s not the perf... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members So Michael Green, a $300 Chinese mass produced receiver sounds as good as, say, Nelson Pass’s or Dan D’Agostino’s best work? I’m going to have to hear that to believe it. What $300 receiver are you referring to?Most of us are not into high end gea... | |
| Missing the forest for the trees I think that many people forget or don’t understand that audio preferences are very subjective. Everyone will have a different opinion about which speaker, amp, source, format, music, etc. is best. Too many people are sure that what they like is t... | |
| Tube test numbers - what exactly do they mean Just about every tube tester uses a different scale. If you knew what tester they used someone might be able to tell you, but I think you’re going to have to call them to find out what tester they used, what is average new on that tester for your ... | |
| MQA and the "Pre Ring - Post Ring" Hoax Charles Hansen of Ayre Acoustics (now deceased, R.I.P.) and many other audio manufacturers use Minimum Phase filters in their digital components. It is my understanding that the purpose of these filters is to eliminate preringing. I know very li... | |
| MQA and the "Pre Ring - Post Ring" Hoax Your point that preringing and postringing do not exist is not generally accepted as fact among the people who design and build audio equipment. If you want to present that opinion to us, fine, but to say it's fact and that anyone who doesn't agr... |
