| Had anyone listened to Ken Fritz's system in person? @shkong78 you missed it. His son had created a post here on Audiogon in November. I can only imagine what it sounded like. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/ken-fritz-stereo-system-auction-is-live?highlight=Ken%2BFritz | |
| Are You a Swifty? You have to try new things all the time if you're really into music IMO, or you just silo yourself into a comfortable, but eventually boring and too safe little world. I stumbled upon an interesting article a few months back that may explain ... | |
| NAD C658 upgrade -> Auralic Altair G1.1,... ? Correct me if I’m wrong, but that conversion to US dollar would be around $3,251. It may help to know if you’d be open to the used market. I have no experience with Auralic and can’t comment on whether a G1.2 is planned. I had owned the NAD C658 ... | |
| Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper? It’s been a couple of months since the acquisition. What are people’s thoughts so far? Obvious and not so obvious changes: - Nucleus Titan and Nucleus One - Interface seems a little bit snappier and responsive (at least for me) - Requesting fee... | |
| Are You a Swifty? she seems to be a generous and genuinely good-hearted human being who puts on a great concert and as far as I can tell deserves her success. If there were more people like her the world would be a much better place. Well said and completely ... | |
| Roon Build 1382 SQ I haven’t heard a difference, but I also don’t use DSP. Good stuff @wsrrsw. Going to try these settings over the weekend. | |
| Radical toe in once more I’ve been periodically playing with placement of my Tannoy Stirlings over the course of the past year and a half. Per their manual, radical toe-in is recommended. Historically I found the treble energy to be a little much while reducing the sounds... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Oh my goodness, I love tubes. I even want one of those cool tube clocks! For me, it’s the NAD C658 all-in-one (preamp, DAC, streamer, DIRAC). The feature set sounded incredible and it used BluOS which I was familiar with from the Node I previousl... | |
| 2024 Audio System Wish List Currently on the waitlist for a Decware ZRock3 which will be placed between DAC and integrated- hoping for arrival by April/May. I’m also really interested in the Fibbre USB Optical digital cable between my streamer and DAC - still trying to do my... | |
| Virtual Systems I’ll try: Audiogon main page > three hashtags top right corner > click on your user name or picture (if you have one) > drops down and click My Virtual Systems > next to your system click on the Actions which will allow you to click o... | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear Anything but popular songs... Guess why ? Not always, though. I really appreciate the following mainstream songs that sound pretty darn good: Your Power by Billie Eilish Billie Bossa Nova by Billie Eilish Exile by Taylor Swift & Bon I... | |
| Look at these beauties I’ve been doing my research on these cables and they look legit. I’m actually not too worried that the listing includes no actual picture - if they have a few scratches no one will notice. Regardless, I made an offer of $7,499.27. Guess we’ll see ... | |
| Can’t find my product in blue book value listing HiFi Shark is such a wonderful website. Not only is it helpful for a buyer, but also for a seller in determining an amount to list their component. I also appreciate how you can be notified of new listings for components you’re interested in as a ... | |
| Anyone with Aric Audio experience? In respect to the Transcend Push Pull amp, as well as Jazbobobs recent review, and all the other previous comments about Aric Audio. I must say, the Push Pull amp is something else when using EL34s in triode mode with no feedback. This amp can def... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz That’s what I’m doing while having the Roon lifetime subscription: Tidal HiFi (regular) CD Quality at $10.99 for their 100 million tracks. Qoboz Studio (Hi-Res) at $10.82 for their 424,000 Hi-Res tracks. vs Tidal Hi-Fi Plus at $19.99 for their ... |
