Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.


Funny how manufacturers of streaming and digital gear continues to chase that elusive analog sound. I thought digital was better?

Before you all get your panties in a wad I enjoy both Digital and Analog but much rather listen to an analog source than digital.

So today I see  Innuos Introduces The PhoenixNET – A Network Switch For Audiophiles @ only $3500.00

Guess I do not see the point you can get superior sound for say $2500 or less with a decent turntable cartridge combo and phono stage. Hell Clear Audio has an all in one for $2500.

I just don’t get it and I do not care to either.

lexx21,

You are getting ME confused with Audio2design.....
I did not say anything
No, directed at audio2design.

I want to hear your r2r setup because it may be the only time I get to hear one that is properly set up. I have nothing but props for you bro. Do you have an Otari deck? You mentioned a 5050, so thats what came to mind. How much refurb did you have to do on it?

I have a real problem with those that poke at how/where others live. Audio2design did that. My house isn't grand by any means, but it's mine. It needs more work, but I am doing the best that I can. I am spending my life's savings on redoing my kitchen so it will be presentable when people come over. So when someone like audio2design calls out someone about where they live, it really ticks me off.

It had NOTHING to do with you bro. Nothing at all. I honestly DO want to hear your system. Digital or analog. You are rocking r2r and for me that is a fantasy/desire of mine and I give you props for it in a major way. I honestly admire you.





skypunk,

Having some self-restraint will not give you negative points.
Ok Lady’s and Gent’s, let’s be of good cheer. I assure ALL of you I can be the BIGGEST ass of all.. Really I can.. BUT we’re having way to much fun here.. Everyone is getting mixed up on who is talkin’ to who, and AND I’m gettin’ all emotional about this.. snellville, snellville.

NO HUGS EITHER.. Keep your hands to yourself.

Unless you mean it, and I ain't wearing no body suit, FIRST.. :-) can play dress up..

Regards
