| Visited a Store and was shunned @kob When he started up the Hill Plasmatronics for me, I was hooked. I was not aware of this loudspeaker. So looked them up. Looks like very special ones. Do they still make them? Saw a site dedicated to them. | |
| Anyone Else Running Two Systems? @kclone , I know what you mean. I have 2 systems, one with the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer floor standing loudspeakers driven by a Sony receiver which can play Bluetooth audio. Cables are basic and they server for playing the TV audio. But Spot... | |
| Recommendation for a Blue Tooth Adapter for a Vintage Stereo Good recommendations above. You can also check out the Auris bluMe HD and PRO version. I have used the HD before and the stability and quality was quiet good. | |
| When to give up CDs and TT? You can get rid of the hardware if you like. But I would not get rid of the CDs/SACDs/LPs. If you have ripped them as FLAC/DSD, then you are supposed to own them. In any case if you lose your HDD (crash/malfunction), these would be your backups. | |
| Visited a Store and was shunned @vette5451 This is so bad. And completely opposite to a west coast dealer - The Analog Shop- where the owner made me listen to a $40k speaker pair paired with Nagra gear, despite knowing that I was shopping for $1500 pair loudspeakers. He was h... | |
| Brands That Died I used to be fascinated by loudspeakers from Polymer Audio Research, which I believe is defunct now. | |
| T+A DAC 200 Burn-in @sealegs , Thank you for the update. You did a very detailed evaluation that very few folks do. This DAC will thrill you for years to come. I don’t know how comfortable you are with computer audio. But if you need help with HQ Player to covert al... | |
| Anyone move from Backert Rhumba Extreme to the Rhythm? Now that Brent Jesse is gone, I might be done with NOS. Will give the Gold Lions a try again in future. I see them last time in 2019 and one of them became noisy within 1 year. So off they were my list. How long have your Gold Lions lasted @scotty... | |
| Anyone move from Backert Rhumba Extreme to the Rhythm? I am still using the original Rhumba 1.3 with the following tubes: Siemens 1962 Mazda 1962 Ladder Plater Raytheon 5814A Windmill Getter I have on order another Raytheon 5814 Black Plate Triple Micas Psvane T II New Mullards that came with th... | |
| Am I done yet? LOL @traudio Accuphase....although I've read they are on the soft and romantic side which wouldn't suit me. This is so not true. You can go through the Accuphase thread that I started. I was hesitant about the Accuphase, especially Class A model... | |
| Surge Protectors & Power Conditioners @rpmpam I would seriously look at Inakustik power conditioners. There are cheaper options available. But this one changed my listening experience. | |
| integrated amp - jumper between preamp and amp I replaced the stock jumpers on my NAD C352 with customer Signal Cable jumpers and it made an audible difference. Experience is the best teacher. YMMV. | |
| What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement? This is one of the best threads on this forum recently. No one is showing off and everything is constructive. New-comers to this hobby should bookmark it immediately. Keep those fantastic experiences coming! | |
| What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement? GIK’s two 244 panels in the center of the front wall simply locked the sound, especially vocal. i moved from a secondary room to the current room and this treatment has worked like a charm. The soundstage simply locks and music sounds wonderful. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @audphile1 The Neptune Diamond is possibly a good cable for a very bright system. Not for a well balanced setup though. Based on the immediate response and the number of responses you provide per day/week, I guess that you are a retired pers... |
