| Masimo Acquires Sound United - Are Denon, Classe, Polk, B&W, Marantz, going to fade away?? Look at it from the position of the companies that were bought: If they weren’t already financially hemorrhaging, they would not have been sold. THATS the real takeaway here. | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! I guess I missed something here. Am I supposed to be impressed? I’m not. I wasn’t. I had a pair of 901 Series IV back in 1983-1986. Just ok speakers. I powered them to ear-blistering levels with my Sherwood S9600-CP receiver. Then my SAE Two A14... | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. There is no analogy to cartridges. All cartridges are different and impart a different taste/color to the modulations in a record. Digital music is perfect. All DACs are the same. They are incapable of imparting a taste, or color to the digital f... | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? You will find EVERY tip profile on MM/MI cartridges that you find on MC. No exceptions. Same for exotic cantilever materials. The OP here isn’t very familiar with tip geometries and cartridges. | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” Listening to a live Led Zeppelin concert is an automatic disappointment. Why aspire to that??? You’d be listening to pro amps, pro speakers, mixed by a guy who was 3 sheets to the wind only 2 hours before, through god-only-knows what stage speaker... | |
| Can one have too many tube components in a system? I’m all SS. So YES, 1 is too many tubes. My father was more than happy to go SS in 1964. Just too many compromises with tubes. Hasn’t changed. Tube rolling, any one? | |
| The hunt is over Been over since 1989. | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 When you have a government that gives away $T in money……You shouldn’t be surprised to see taxes increased, and new ways of grabbing your money invented. | |
| Walmart, 97 cents, for Vibration Control The only way these work properly is to get different colors. I got the black, white, red, green, blue, orange and yellow. Always use them in a “rainbow” pattern. Then you isolate the entire frequency range of micro vibrations. Black doesn’t work w... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. Most all Chi-Fi equipment are copies of the best gear, in years past, from Western Countries…. You know, the countries China despises? Current Chinese offerings are EXACTLY like Chinese military equipment: STOLEN TECHNOLOGY. And, once you man... | |
| Is the Bricasti M3 a dark sounding dac Yes it’s very dark and small sounding. Not worth even 1/4th the price. | |
| Dumb question - how do you easily insert a photo/image inline with writing text in a post? Hmmmmm…. | |
| Turntables that are still made in Japan? The market is saturated with just about any Japanese table you would care to own. Pick one out, buy it, have it refurbished. Save yourself several grand. | |
| ''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum Some cartridges have no manufacturer alive anymore, and styli are nowhere to be found. The Micro Acoustics 3002 that I have is just such a cartridge. Maintaining all original parts is not an option. Mine has a snapped beryllium cantilever. So... | |
