Just Get A Better DAC?
I agree with convenience and “savings “ of one unit versus seperates plus interconnects. But I see adding seperates as a way to (hopefully) hear the impact of the DAC, clock, etc as added. And with evolving tech, will their be something significan... 
8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC
I can see how we get on this hamster wheel and I don’t source anyone from doing it. Too many comments from haters without substance in their responses. Or maybe it’s just old farts (I’m a young 65) that just can’t hear for crap? Upgrading just on... 
How do I know if I need a sub woofer?
I’ve got very good audiophile equipment and use bass traps and had help with setup - and to me the system sounds very good but not great!  I’ve hit a wall trying to make a less than ideal (family room) into to a great listening room. After attendi... 
Analogue Productions SACDs
Issue solder SACD players is probably a LICENSING THING and less frequently a LASER thing.   
DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea?
I guess it depends what you are looking for. Audiophile sound (not just good sound), a neat project (commendable), or trying to save money.  I see it that even high end speaker Co can’t get it right so how is something that I build (even a kit) go... 
What exactly is critical listening? Who does it?
I see a couple of situations where I use critical listening - extensively when purchasing new components and again during set up in my home listening area.  For me the most important thing is to have a set of 6 or so musical tracks that I know ve... 
MBL Insolvent
Can’t rely on uber high end clients alone. New mired moderate priced offerings just too late.  How about DarTZeel?  
Network Switches
Re audphile1 - Don’t knock it till you try it. I was a doubter but did add the Uptown Audio EtherRegen switch and not only did it help with better sounding audio, I noticed Les noise on my 60” Sony XBR picture. I could see the hockey puck easier ... 
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
I’d ask Peter if he were making this speaker for a higher price point what caps & wires would he use?  Hats a nice Jon confrontational way of getting the builders opinion.  Consider Master Built cables for your rebuild. My Von Schweikert’s use... 
Bose buys McIntosh
I’m betting pre-Bose acquisition McIntosh products will hold up well on the resale market. It’s a known entity with associated quality & sound. Private equity groups do this all the time. Pay big $$, over leverage, and then sell for bigger $$... 
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…
I prefer Graham LS 5/5 to Harbeth.  To me a bit more spatial. I wanted the BBC Sound to work, but in end realized you really need a floor standing speaker for bass. I ended up going with Von Schweikert Endeavour. Love them!  I saw a preowned paid... 
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
I usually speak of how my understanding of audio equipment changed over the years and how certain little changes MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE.  Simple no cost changes like moving speakers away from walls or using furniture to limit first reflection will ... 
Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What?
Mclinnguy is right Etheregen is great. Audio became a little quieter.  It immediately improved detail in LED TV picture too.   
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
Guess I should have asked about room size before connecting on the footprint of stand mounts. Good point Avanti!     To imattews - I use B&W 804D3 in another room and tried to go the bookshelf route with Graham & Harbeth. I’m 64 y/o and d... 
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
I’ve been disappointed with most bookshelf speakers that I’ve owned. I compare everything to sonics of good floor standers. Funny thing is most bookshelf speakers when put on stands, have footprint of floor standers anyway! My small room is about ...
