| Schiit not that Good? @jetter Hello, and thank you for asking.Actually, I really love my Dynaco ST70. I’ve owned and own a lot of amps over the years, and most of them have another zero in their price tags, including my Jadis amplifiers. Over the years, I learned that ... | |
| Schiit not that Good? @mulveling actually, I wanted to apologize to you...You made an excellent point on discussing gear in an open and honest manner, and I agree with your sentiments completely. I see it's always season to criticize a handful of brands like Adcom, AR... | |
| Schiit not that Good? What a surprise @madavid0, would initiate this thread.Past efforts by the Norman Vincent Peale of Audiogon:Anticables: Scam?Rega and Proac: Bad?Class D = Trash?Synergistic Research: SCAMCD players = dead?Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff?Cartri... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers @vinny55 you bring up an excellent point on the Scott amplifiers.We’ve seen example after example over the years of well-meaning techs going through a vintage component, and replacing the carbon composition resistors with modern, stable, reliable,... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers Even though I had a good bit of loudspeaker building experience with my own / friends’ projects as well as my involvement with Fried, until I began building amplifiers, I didn’t understand the importance resistors play in the sonic presentation.At... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @jayctoy sounds like you're really enjoying yourself!Would like to hear your impressions of how the Gumby sounded in the show system.After things calm down from the show, maybe we can all share our impressions on the DENAFRIPS - sonics, price, and... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers @michaelgreenaudio I want to thank you personally for your contributions to this hobby.Years ago, component and ancillary changes in my second system yielded much less than the expected impact. After a while and many attempts to rectify the situat... | |
| New or Old CD Player? @twoleftears WOW, indeed!On the other hand, you do get a few upgrades for the additional $4000 Hegel charge for this player: a more sculpted faceplate with the three buttons on each side combined into one, a different digital out connection, and t... | |
| New or Old CD Player? @imgoodwithtools CONGRATULATIONS on the ARC player! I listened to one, and it certainly sounded like a serious contender.Hope you love it, and it provides you with the joy we all hope for | |
| New or Old CD Player? @twoleftears while I have no first hand experience with the TEAC / Esoteric transports, their reputation proceeds them. More than "very good", many have labeled them class leading. However, I will defer to @jafant and if he knows they're in-fie... | |
| New or Old CD Player? @twoleftears sorry, I don't know much about Primare. I believe you are right the TEAC transports.I also believe history proves you find yourself in very good hands with Bryston. Even if the CD assembly has gone out of production, I can't see th... | |
| New or Old CD Player? @twoleftears the Sony transport makes you wonder, doesn't it?Back when they manufactured them in Japan, Sony turned out the very best CD transports in the audio business. The shift away from Japan production in the mid-2000s proved catastrophic.... | |
| Out of IT and into Audio business - Have you done it? I’ve had my feet in both on and off over the past 20 years...At times, I’ve wished audio would take the lead. But IT has inevitably done a night and day better job at putting food on the table and money in the bank account. In fact, it allowed my ... | |
| New or Old CD Player? I cannot recommend the Hegel Mohican...Like the rest of their players, it simply comes off as a rebadged Opera Audio Consonance CDP, typical of that outfit's efforts in the first 5 years of this millennium. At $5000, you're spending 2X - 5X for ... | |
| First time tube integrated buy I think a Jolida would suit you very well, at less money than you allocated. Good build quality, simple design, nice sound. Outside of a transformer issue, you won’t find yourself stuck over the long term.If you do want to move up to $2000 or so, ... |
