| Problem connecting Rega Dac to Macbook 2008 The issue could very well be El Capitan, notorious for usb audio problems and still unfixed by Apple in Sierra. Google "forum el capitan audio problems" and you'll find a ton of unhappy customers. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new laptop runnin... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring The Green Mountain Audio guy has posted some great stuff about crossovers and time-alignment as well. Not sure that I agree with him on everything, but it’s fascinating to hear an intelligent designer talk about something that I personally know bu... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Ralph is also an audiophile: I'm glad that he posts here and talks about engineering. I wish more of them would. Good to see Eric from Tekton is getting amongst it too, despite the minefield. | |
| Current speaker threads are boring I like this forum even though I'm a playwright in a small country so, poor as they come. Nevertheless there's a wealth of knowledge here that you don't get on other forums once you know who to listen to. Almarg, for instance: I've learnt tons off ... | |
| The Music Room Yep, totally legit, with good email response times. | |
| Looking to upgrade amp, need help. I don't know the seller BTW, I'm on the other side of the world. I just looked up Rega Exon on Hifishark thinking it might be the answer to your situation. Good luck! | |
| Looking to upgrade amp, need help. I totally agree with the Rega recommendations above. This set-up on Canuck Audio will fill your life with joy (the phono stage on the Cursa preamp will destroy the Project BTW, which you can sell, and the Exon monoblocks will best the Elicit-R):ht... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? Sabai, I live on an ancient volcano so there's basalt everywhere, but I imagine any rock with iron in it will do the trick?(Geoff I can sell you basalt rock at $500 a chip...) | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? I'm instinctively wary of audiophile nonsense but have enough time on my hands (I'm a writer...) that I've tried most of the tweaks that Geoff specialises in. For what it's worth I've discovered the following three things: 1. Turns out you absolut... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... LOVE Ry Cooder's music. Check out "Talking Timbuktu" from the mid nineties. Incredible album. | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... I think pretty much all of the above will be listened to in 50 years (not popular, but listened to), however 200 years from now will be a different story. Popular music will be significantly different and the only ones to survive (other than the C... | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! Hi Ugur, and welcome! The NHTs look like a difficult speaker to drive, what with a an inbuilt subwoofer and extra rear-firing drivers. Unless you REALLY like them I would suggest trying different speakers before you worry about a power amp. Speake... | |
| Best Sounding Computer Audio Player For PC PCs are too noisy for proper sound. You can pick up a decent second hand macbook with an ssd drive on ebay for less than $800, install Audirvana Plus for $75, connect your dac, and you have a superb standalone music player for less than a grand. T... | |
| The ever lasting diamond stylus...is it a myth or?? They don't last indefinitely but, yes, way longer than people think if you keep your records clean. The rubber on the cantilever will perish before your stylus. (Five years or so, although a couple years back I used a vintage Stanton from the eigh... | |
