| Audio Note speakers No offense intended toward anyone, however, if someone says Audio Note UK speakers sound anything like the Snell's they don't know what they are talking about. Anyone who says they are built the same, they don't know what they are talking about. ... | |
| New speakers or new car? @hilde45 is right. neither purchase new is very wise…both depreciate from new at an alarming rate. But preowned for both, pay cash, never utilize debt and that way you can enjoy both. | |
| How not to buy a DAC -- an audiofool journey @essrand What a terrific writing style. Intelligent, fun, concise as necessary and so, so applicable to so many. Looking forward to your next article. | |
| Phono Stage with XLR outs @audphile1 In the event you remain open to try solid state, the Austin Audioworks “The Black Swan” is extraordinary, and then at its price new it is a stone cold bargain. I owned one as, like you, I decided to dip my toes back in to analog. As i... | |
| Prices of Records/Vinyl in 2025 @dseltz Discogs is your friend. The iPhone app allows you to know exactly what you have and more importantly, you can search what you are looking at in store and compare prices. I also use the Vinyl box app and you can scan barcodes etc so you can... | |

| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ +1 @onhwy61 In all seriousness, the only cure for high prices are high prices. Why waste one watt of energy on something that each person must decide whether something is rational. To each their own. 20 years ago I thought all the high price... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio I think people worry too much about things they don’t truly underdstand. ”Can you believe Chuck’s Buggy Whips” closed the other day? The transportation industry is going to hell. Said someone in the year 1900. “Gertrude, no one is having t... | |
| Krell Moves to new location Krell ceased being Krell MANY moons ago. While I’m sure Dan D’ was sad at the passing of the mother of his children and the steady slide of Krell through the years likely evoked similar feelings, I doubt that the current state of affairs at Krell ... |
