| CH Precision electronics Odd, you couldn’t get a demo, but you could buy? Seems to me if you can’t get a demo for $55K, you should have looked elsewhere. Plenty of places you can get a demo. Hop on a plane and go. But it all worked out in your favor. The phrase "tried... | |
| Phono Stage Consider DS Audio. DS Audio phono “preamps” are half width. Audio quality is amazing. An extremely small stylus is used which gets below much of the surface noise/scratches for very quiet backgrounds. | |
| Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative? Depends on the DAC you plan to use. Depends on if your audio system is highly resolving. Depends on your hearing ability. Internal DAC of the WiiM is not good. Price point should tell you something. Plan on using an external DAC for better... | |
| Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ? Ah, regret? Well, my albums (56 years worth), SACD/CD’s, DATs, R2R tapes, turntable, audio and video components along with 3 vehicles, 2 trailers, guest house, tennis courts, pool, fruit orchard, and everything else we owned was destroyed in a C... | |
| Schiit Yggy DAC is . . . wow It is great you’re happy. Nothing can beat that. If you ever have the opportunity to hear a highend DAC (e.g. ESOTERIC) clocked by a high precision master clock (e.g. again ESOTERIC), you’ll be taken to the next level. Enjoy, but keep reac... | |
| The muddy waters of Analogue vs. digital today Get a DAC that can be clocked with a master clock. For example ESOTERIC DAC with its matching ESOTERIC Master Clock. No longer will CD’s sound “tinny” (unless of course they were recorded that way). The debate about analog vs. digital shou... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dust 😏 Tomorrow maybe a direct-to-disc recording of Ray Linn, Chicago Jazz. VPI Signature 21 Rosewood / DS Audio Master 3 cartridge / Wilson Audio Alexx V / REL No. 32 subs / Spectral Preamp and Amps | |
| Do room colors affect how we hear music? Room color doesn’t matter if you close your eyes and just listen. Turning off one of your senses enhances the others. It’s nothing new hear [sic] 😏 | |
| SHARE YOUR SACDs THAT SOUND FANTASTIC!! In theory this thread is a great idea. Unfortunately everyone’s audio components are different and everyone hears differently. I suppose a suggestion of what might be a well recorded SACD is better than no suggestion. 👍🏻 | |
| Just upgraded my speakers - do I still need the subs Yes! Always! Try the REL No. 32. “They’re Grrreat!” | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» When I say Rolls Royce, Rolex, Jaguar, Bose most if not all people will recognize these brands. If I say Patek Philippe, Cirrus, Spectral not many will know these brands. The point is advertising. Let’s be male centric for a moment. Has anyone... | |
| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? For anyone that has a piece of gear that has failed and think it is a paper weight, you can try talking to The Soundsmith Corporation. Peter Ledermann [email protected] and his team repairs gear no longer made as well as current gear. Here’... | |
| Streamers and software I recently bought the Hifi Rose RS130. It has more features than I need, and works great with Roon. For the best in audio quality I ran fiber ethernet in and use a 10Mhz Esoteric Master Clock on the streamer and the Esoteric DAC. If you are an a... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui I can never understand this fear men have of their wives over their hobby. You share a life, share interests and yet something that makes 1/2 of the relationship happy is at odds with the wife. There should be a greater understanding that you eac... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? PS Audio is good stuff. There is much better, and if you have “much better”, there is always something better than what you have. Fact of life. As Stephen Stills once sang, “If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with”. The PS... |
