| Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky I have to disagree about "Waiting for the Sun." "Hello, I Love You" was a serious lapse in judgement, but the rest of the album is strong.Rather than make The Doors III, the band used their creativity to come up with something different and succe... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini I have the Node 2. I am not technically proficient with routers, computers, etc. I had no problem installing the Node 2 and its Bluos app. My router has line-of-sight access to my Node 2. I rarely experience a dropout streaming internet radio... | |
| My Audio Research experience jea48, What exactly did the OP do that would cause ARC not to repair his amp and send it back? What did he do that would result in him losing ownership of the amp and the tubes that he sent along with it? If someone in this process didn’t like him... | |
| My Audio Research experience If ARC is going to sell its products in Australia, they should make arrangements for repairs to be done in a reasonable amount of time (weeks, not months or years). If they can't do that they shouldn't sell in Australia or other places where thei... | |
| If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy? raul, please go start your own thread.enginedr, solid state components can sound very different from each other too. There is no way to know what a recording is supposed to sound like, so you might as well listen to a system that sounds good to you. | |
| Tidal and MQA The MQA decoding situation is still pretty confusing. I have read a little about it and I'm not sure what level of decoding you get through different software and hardware combinations. If your DAC is telling you 44.1, I'd say that's what you're... | |
| Advice using electrostats with tube amp. The Theos has an impedance of .8 ohms at 20khz. It’s not a 4 ohm speaker. Still many people like using tube amps with MLs. I don’t think it would hurt to try your tube amp with them, but I would try to get my hands on a solid state muscle amp for ... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio If the finish is bad on one of the speakers, Upscale should take them back. Send pictures to Kevin Deal and Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee should be able to help convince Kevin to resolve this problem. I would ask Mr. Lee to get involved. | |
| Aesthetix vs ARC The Aesthetix Callisto Signature retails for $13,000 including a $2,000 remote control. $11,000 without remote. The ARC Ref 6 retails for $14,000. The ARC Ref 10 retails for $30,000.Ultimately, what’s important is the sound, as sfall states. Howev... | |
| Aesthetix vs ARC Actually, The correct comparison would be the Aesthetix Callisto Signature or Eclipse to the ARC Ref 5se, not the Calypso. Here’s a link to a comparison of the Calypso to the Callisto:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-aesthetix-callist... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters skytop, it’s important to not bring up politics, even just a little, in these forums. We want to stick to audio here. Even that causes tempers to flair sometimes, so definitely no mention of politics. | |
| Music you found on Tidal Delbert McClinton's latest, Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong - Foreverly, Karl Seglem - Nordic Balm, some of Dion's recent stuff.It's great to be able to hear unfamiliar music without having to lay out $10 to $15. | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? Here is what McGowan wrote: "CDs had one thing right, they were going to last forever. Now, studies show that may not always be the case. "At issue is the fact that optical media uses a combination of different chemicals and manufacturing processe... | |
| Aesthetix vs ARC limniscate, what amp are you using? | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? I have a number of cds that are 30 years old and I haven’t had one go bad yet. You really don’t need to spread this urban legend that goes around every couple of years to justify your preference for vinyl.Just for your information, lps can be ruin... |
