| Is headphone listening a primary or backup for you when listening to music? I got back i to phones when got divorced. I packed up all of my gear, put it in storage and got a decent headphone set up. That was 5 or 6 years ago but I still use it occasionally. I use it when it's late also. Great way to listen wi... | |
| Is anyone still using a CD Player I also have a Teac 701t , it's a great player. Unfortunately it is now about $500 more than when it launched. I paid $2300 which is close to max what I planned on spending. Not cheap but an excellent player. Using it with Lab 12 DAC... | |
| Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived? I was an early adoptor of CD. My first player was the first player , the Sony CDP 101. For the first few months there were hardly any good pop/ rock CDs. Mostly classical, which I am not into. I put together a decent size CD collection... | |
| Are you a keeper or a flipper? Both I would say , but more of a keeper. I have bought , sold , and traded to afford gear I could otherwise not own. | |
| Phono Pre-amp for non-vinyl guy. KC Vibe mkii pops up used around $500. Nice preamp, quiet and sounds good. | |
| The Schiit Lyr 3 versus the Schiit Lyr 5 I believe they are naked transformers and the cover hides them It's a great amp. Built like a tank like all Quicksilver gear. Built just like my mid monos , solid. Drives my Klipsch HP3 and Grado rs1 easily and sounds great. Also drove ... | |
| The Schiit Lyr 3 versus the Schiit Lyr 5 The Quicksilver amp has an output transformer. It is covered by the black rectangular cover. It is not OTL. It can drive my low impedance phones easily. It can also drive 600 Ohm cans. | |
| “Civilian” reaction to your gear? Out of the people in my circle of friends and family most have zero interest, they probably think I'm nuts My son in law thinks my systems are really nice. Our love of music is the same except he is talented and can actually play and write music.... | |
| Anyone Else Running Two Systems? I am fortunate to have two systems and a headphone rig. My main system is a pair of Forte IV and several tube amps that I rotate. Turntable , Streamer , CD Transport, DAC , I rotate the three tuners I own. Second system was the best th... | |
| Greg Bray, Seller of Stolen Audio Gear and Seller of Counterfeit Rolex and Other Watches Thanks for the heads up. Lot’s of scumbags out there, hopefully your post will save someone from getting screwed. There are a lot of good sellers out there , unfortunately losers like Greg exist though. | |
| Wilsons new flagship Like Kerrybh said , I can appreciate these products for their all out assault on state of the art which is always a moving target. That technology definitely trickles down in this hobby. Especially with speakers. That's why products like the ... | |
| Wilsons new flagship You are paying not only for exclusively , you are also paying for intense R&D. People often don’t think of the research and prototyping of a speaker like that. It is expensive and time consuming Sonus Faber, Magico and others also have $... | |
| Frank009 is stalking my profile page. Let's be Frank.....That is in poor taste to crap on anything. I feel fortunate for all the equipment that has passed through my hands over the years. I am lucky to have what I have now and always remember it's pretty modest compared to many sy... | |
