| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? I'm 62 and discover new music all of the time. When I hear a song I like, Shazam it, then check more out on Qobuz. Digging a guy named Mishka for the last bunch of months. Singer song writer reggae, really well recorded and a prolific producer of... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Thank you sns | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers Also about the plating, but I've also bought (but never used yet) contact enhancers. The two that I have are the Stabilant 22A and the Furutech Nano Liquid Ag/Au enhancers. Still have a ton of research to do, but that'll have to wait until the fall | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers thecarpathian Gold plating works best for me, and then silver plating. Rhodium is loved by some, but it's just too much for me, and that incessant break in period is hard to take | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers Carpathian, here are some copper units. I tested and liked the Furutech FPX-Cu and the Oyaide R-0, but the Oyaide R-0 is better in my mind. The ACME is very good, but silver plated Furutech does have the FPX-Cu receptacle which is phosphorous cop... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT nubiann This is a very long read, ignore if you wish. I have made this a longer more complete post on purpose, since it comes up several times each month.....and it gets old re-posting the same information in different ways. Most of this is from ... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? If you like the idea of a kit (or they will build a complete amplifier), I agree with the Dynaco design option. The company Tubes4hifi has kits and fully assembled amplifiers based on some of the most popular Dynaco products: ST-35, ST-70 and ST-1... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) Auto tuning, takes the life out of any singer; male or female | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS Measurements have their place, and I use them to a point. I also use reviews from reviewers I trust, input from a select group of posters here, looks of the speaker, listening at Audio shows (I attend at least 3 a year now), quality of the compone... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing sim_audio_nerd The CODA S5.5 is a killer of an amp in it's own right, but pair it up with a great tube preamp.....and it's brilliant | |
| Help With Streamer - Aurender, Auralic, HIFI Rose, Eversolo A10, etc. +++++++1 for the Innuous Zen MKIII or Zenith MKIII, both will be perfect for what you want to do | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing gryphongryph No I have Aric's top preamp, the Motherlode XL.....but that is more money still.....and I was trying to respect Terenthia's budget. My top two preamps would be the Aric Audio Motherlode XL ($6,500) and the Don Sachs/Lynn Olson Raven... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room captouch No I don't own the BMRs. I had just purchased a pair of Buchardt Audio S400 MKII stand mounts when I got a chance to listen to them. But I do remember how much I liked the BMRs | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? The speakers come with a standard one year warranty, but that increases to 3 years if you register the product with Dutch & Dutch. Also I think they've been on the market for about six years, and I've never heard any quality issues | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers And I don't want to abuse the Furutech rhodium plated, but they are REALLY detailed and it was too much in any of my systems. I could see it being really helpful for people with "dark" systems |
