| Advice on how to liquidate system @jl1ny I’m deeply sorry regarding your injury. I would also recommend not selling. Give yourself time and maybe some improvement can come regarding your condition. The science of audiology and medical surgical intervention is always advancing. M... | |
| Parasound to Pass Upgrade @fastninja12 if the JC1+ disappointed you, what did you ultimately ended up going with? Also what was your speaker pairing if you don't mind me asking? I am enjoying my JC1+ amps now much more after pairing them with my Sopra No. 3's as opposed t... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. I'm still thinking they'll keep MQA going in some capacity, but I wouldn't want Tidal to go down with it as collateral damage. I'm not a MQA fan/hater, but I do like Tidal. | |
| Dark Horse DAC Just ordered my T+A DAC 200, will see how it holds up to the Tambaqui. I do love my R26 and I see now its on sale for $1,450 which is a steel IMO. | |
| Stereo or monoblocks I am a mono block fan... I have my reasons but I love the visual of the two units and mental framework of two channels being separately amplified. As for the 402... Looks impressive, maybe over powered... Not that you could have to much power, bu... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I turn music on all the time and every where and have 3 (hope to make it 4) systems all in different locations of our home, all with something very special and unique to offer. If I can't listen to one system because my wife is doing something, or... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Sony TA-ZH1ES headphone amp! Got it for $900 used but basically new from a guys summer home. Have an unnamed $3500 new headphone amp that hasn’t impressed me much after listening to the Sony with my Z1R’s. Can’t say enough good things about theTA... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl @arafiq I totally support your enthusiasm and love of quality digital music (especially high res stuff). I too love my Zenith3 with Phoenix and Mola Mola Tambaqui combo (audio nirvana to my ears), and I've kinda fallen away from my vinyl st... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I always preface "I didn’t pay retail" when asked, but then I tell them what my system typically retails for. And close with... "Don’t tell my wife". Now if my wife asks, I tell her "less then your personal trainer", but only referring to my hea... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? @marshinski15 Quick and dirty response. Big room and big bass fan... SVS = great sub's, especially for the money. Like bass articulation and control, have smaller room and desire more seemless bass integration and detail... SVS = look elsewher... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube @seanheis1 Randy puts in a bunch of time, and I’m sure wants that time to pay (I don’t hold that against him). I don’t give him money myself, but he’s entertaining to some and nothing wrong for a tip jar IMO. Can’t say/feel that he’s sold out, bu... | |
| Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE @brandonhifi I too am of the opinion that stored AIFF/FLAC/WAV sound better then my streaming source (Innuous ZenithMK3 w Phoenix; stored vs streamed). I'd also lean towards a good CD transport doing the same set against streaming. | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube Randy is fun to watch, I like him as more audio tongue in cheek entertainment, and I do watch a good deal of his videos. He’s kind of like my "Scrubs" of audio review shows. He’s a guilty pleasure that I do find humorous value in, and I know has a... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? @td_dayton Bandcamp! Wow, you're a better person then I for disabling PayPal... The damage is done and I'm not salvageable. | |
| Poorer sound stage and bass impact, Focal Scala Utopia Evo vs Focal Sopra N3??? @pg99 you may have just saved me a Hifi system (thank you). I was really on the fence about ditching my mid tier system to splurge on the Evo (as opposed to the N3 I already ordered). I was blown away by the N3 in person, however not hearing firs... |
