| This is very timely... It would seem that Goodwin's High End (near me) is doing fine...nice guys (recently repaired and tuned up my Linn table for relatively very little money). Is Goodwin's killing audio? Somehow I doubt it. | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery I disagree...I think it's extremely important to not only spend your brains out on your gear and mention your other expensive hobbies (at least one gifted listener here has described how much money he has), but to pontificate at length about how s... | |
| Adcom 535L upgrades? I’ve owned a few 535s and they always worked flawlessly and sounded fine. I currently use a later 5300 as a backup/satellite (outdoor speakers) amp and sold the last of my 535s a few years ago. The 5300 is 85wpc and in my humble (!) opinion it sou... | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... Wax cylinders...a technology that literally dissolved. | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? I didn't like the sound of the internal DAC in the Node 2i so much so I added a Schiit Bifrost 2 and it was much improved. | |
| The Absurdity of it All A note...classical musicians in orchestras and all violinists especially have serious hearing issues...ever sit near a horn section? | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? Indeed, sadly, far right nonsense permeates everything these days. | |
| The Absurdity of it All Elliot Scheiner, Bob Ludwig, Bob Clearmountain...know who those guys are? I bet they can't hear a pin drop either...I'd prefer the opinions of Richard Vandersteen over most any young audio geek, and likely so would you. I rarely say this but, seri... | |
| I must be old My point was that with a well sorted system, any format from tape to 78s and digital can and should sound great when playing great music. Otherwise why bother with of any of this? | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile My enjoyment of great home audio and efforts make my system sound great have never been appreciated by others not particularly into this stuff. That's just how it is, and I don't mind it at this point. You can never get guests to "shut up and list... | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp The newest Cambridge Dacmagic looks pretty cool...MQA and all. I have an older one and it's great sounding. I also use a Schiit Bifrost 2 with a "Bluenode" 2i for MQA streaming although I rarely use it with headphones. Headphones in bed reading, p... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? The horn loaded titaniums in my Heresy IIIs...previously the aluminum-magnesiums in my Silverline Preludes. | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile Stating that audio geeks are on the autistic spectrum is insulting to those who know people with autism unless the statement is broadening the "spectrum" to make a lame point. It's sadly ignorant, and simply wrong. | |
| I must be old I think there should be a device to add clicks and pops to CDs, but that's just me. My vinyl, streaming, and CDs all sound excellent, especially the MQA stuff, and I manage to live with all of it as, hey, I can...amazingly. An interesting example ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV After having rejected a couple of pairs of speakers recently (and another pair of well regarded speakers a couple of years ago) I have to emphasize how utterly important it is (to me anyway) to listen before you buy. The speakers I like (and curre... |
