| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? I have no reluctance to buying on line but I’m not going to use a brick and mortar store as an auditioning studio then take my business to an online seller. As far as supporting a local brick and mortar store, I have no problem trying to direct my... | |
| What are the advantages of electrostatic versus floor speakers w/wo external drivers? I was a confirmed Magneplanar listener for many years. Nothing seems as open and transparent. Box speakers just didn’t compare, yet box speakers had advantages to- more satisfying dynamics for one thing.All that changed for me in 2000 when I heard... | |
| Anyone using an external streamer with a Bricasti M12 or M21? I also installed the MDx board in my Bricasti DAC- an M1. All I can say is mama mia- run, don’t walk, do it, if you’ve got the $700 to spare at the moment | |
| What's your profession? Age? Recently turned 60. My interest in stereos and music predictably go back to my teen years- first heard of AR, KLH, Dual etc. around 1974. Cobbled together a system in 1975 or 1976 out of old bits and pieces. By 1977 I bought a basic system - recei... | |
| Connecting laptop to dac via usb- gear on or off? I certainly only make the connection with gear off. I was just curious if anyone had ever explicitly been told to do so (as I was by the dac manufacturer) | |

| Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system Not big into formulas, but I am big into what sounds good and works well together. | |
| Tuner into Cable jack? Decades ago- in the 90's, my cable company did offer FM through the cable, but it was noisy ground loop hum. There was a device I bought that addressed that without killing the signal. Fast forward- a year or 2 ago out of curiosity, I tried again... | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables Too many folks confuse a bright cable with sounding fast. | |
| Which is the most important part of a stereo system? Everything matters, however, my observations have led me to feel that a preamp can make or break a system. | |
| Anyone remember Studio Design speakers? There really is very little on the webI thought some models bore a passing resemblance to some Ohm speakers and considering the “connection” between ownership of Ohm and Tech Hifi, a resemblance is not surprising. I had the 46’s. 10 inch woofer, p... | |
