| Foreign Tongues - New Rolling Stone Album (vinyl) @mapman - Thanks, I'll give it a try this evening. | |
| Foreign Tongues - New Rolling Stone Album (vinyl) @mapman I wonder if you can name one, or a few? I, and several friends have never heard a good recording from them, over the last half a Century and more! | |
| Foreign Tongues - New Rolling Stone Album (vinyl) Awful recording! I've always, from their very early days, thought that The 'Stones music was badly recorded. Why they (Mick?) haven't done anything about it in all these years is a mystery to me. The quality of recordings on their albums, has alwa... | |
| Do you buy used carts/needles? Is it risky? @dman777 Who buys ’NEEDLES’ either new or used?? No-one has used needles in half a century, usually on wind up gramaphones! Maybe you meant stylus?! And I don’t believe anyone would buy a used stylus, presumably for an MM cart. Used carts, certa... | |
| Power amplifier advice? I agree with the others who suggest getting speakers sorted first. I also agree with @jasonbourne71 | |
| I’m interested in getting a new Denafrips DAC @agram Yes, I got my Pontus 15th then a few Months later my current Venus 15th both direct from them, to me here in the UK, with all import duties/VAT paid for by Denafrips. It was c£1k less than buying from the then UK importer, who would not eve... | |
| I’m interested in getting a new Denafrips DAC There are several on here who are 'ChiFi' haters, for whatever reason; they are also probably the same people who called the first Japanese motorcycles JapCrap, when they were massively better than anything America or Europe were producing! @vinl... | |
| Anybody ever buy anything from dougbrady hifi? I'm originally from Liverpool, and know (knew) Doug very very well. He visited my home many times. He even briefly lent me his car once (a blue Rover P6 3500S, which a friend of mine maintained for him, and he even replaced the standard 4 speed tr... | |
| Break in for new DAC @westcoastaudiophile "most equipment needs break-in to sound best" Yes, it really does. Just because you can't hear it, doesn't mean it dosen't happen/exist. Also, you say - "aging (break-in), increases digital circuits jitter/s, negatively impa... | |
| Break in for new DAC @aewarren Thanks for the info, and correcting me - I did mean to type naive. | |
| Break in for new DAC @mlapenta Disregarding tubes, almost every piece of equipment which uses electrolytic caps (pretty much everything we use), will take time to 'burn in'/'run in', often in the order of 200/300 hours. This is especilally true of devices which don't ... | |
| You have too much network bandwidth!! I cannot see the point of this post Eric. Maybe you're bored? Even the 'standard' 1GbE connection is well over specified for all our purposes, so what the title of this post is supposed to mean is beyond me, except to just attract attention! Go a... | |
| Cloud storage for 8TB of music files on an external HD NAS. That's it. You buy it, install drives, and you have your own FREE 'cloud' storage. In the unlikely event that a drive goes bad, you have RAID, so you can replace the drive without data loss. You can make a copy of your data on a seperate driv... | |
| Anyone in this hobby lonely like me and wish they could “hang” with a fellow audiophile? Great post OP. If anyone's in the SE of the UK, I'd be up for a visit. @newton_john - where are you based? | |
| Adventures with Clock Cables @052rc - I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, as ALL my digital cables are wire, and they seem to send 0's and 1's quite effectively. Including my USB cable. So I don't see why audiophile1 agrees with you. I do know they have a send/receive... |
