Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500? @deanshias I use the Matrix Audio Element H USB 3.0 on an ASUS Z690 motherboard. I was shocked at how big a difference it made (the rest of system is Cambridge Audio DACMagic 200, Audioengine A5+ speakers, and Senheiser HD599) I use AVADirect who... | |
Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @waytoomuchstuff you made me laugh, but maybe an electric fence around the HiFi and speakers would be better than crating them? It would make an interesting talking point with visitors ;-) | |
Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @immatthewj Yes, they are basically Spendor A2's in a full-size cabinet @yogiboy Yes, I ordered my A4s from BEK HiFi, but they keep little in stock to listen to - the building is very small. | |
Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @knock1 having gotten my significant other to agree to new speakers, I'm not going to pass on that opportunity | |

Tube Amp in Snowpiercer And I am very aware of product placement after the project I work on was placed in the Ironman movies | |
Tube Amp in Snowpiercer @millercarbon - I simply said good looking - I mentioned nothing about what I thought the quality might be. I'm a computer engineer, my career depends on noticing details and asking questions - that's all. I judge other engineers in a professional... | |
Tube Amp in Snowpiercer Snowpiercer is a TV series currently showing in the US (and Amazon Prime) - I imagine most audiophiles notice the HiFi in what they are watching? Don't they? | |
CD player reliability.... good and bad. I used my Rotel first as a CDP then later as a CDT for nearly 20 years and it was still in perfect condition at the end . I only junked it last year to get a better CDT (I now use a UDP-LX500 into a Rega DAC-R) | |
Schumann Resonator The leading medical expert on this topic in the US is probably Beth Darnall https://profiles.stanford.edu/beth-darnall She uses Binaural frequencies around the 7-8Hz range for pain management but they only work with headphone because the the low... | |
Tubes for Schiit Saga I replaced the default tube in the Vali2 with a Telefunken Black Diamond from Tube Depot and even with this cheap headphone amp ($150) and Fiil headphones the improvement is very noticeable sounding smoother and more musical - more relaxing to lis... |
