8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC
Buy two and the 2nd one is 1/2 the price!! Plus we throw in a 2 liter Pepsi.  
Anyone interested in an audio get together in Northest Ohio?
Mcgal and everyone else.. Yes we have a fun audio group! So far it’s been a blast. But it might be the right time (Fall) for another meet and greet. Good time for anybody to see if they want to join up and …it’s work well in the past. The last ti... 
Streamers rabbit hole
Russbutton. Bits are bits is true. The DAC doesn’t care where the bits came from. DACs don’t have feelings like humans do. All of those streamers just use Linux boxes, blah, blah, blah. I have owned many streamers like many here and our experience... 
Can You Fell the Love Tonight?
I fell off the ladder when fixing my gutter in the spring. I think I broke my hipster.  
Streamers rabbit hole
rick-n I agree with him. Although there are a few more companies (mentioned) making very good equipment. Aurender, Innuos, etc. For me Bluesound makes the most practical sense and they have been supporting their products and refining their gear e... 
Streamers rabbit hole
I have the HiFi Rose RS130. The product is just a streamer with no DAC. I also have a Bluesound Node X which is considerably cheaper. The HiFi Rose sounds better, but the OS and user interface with the Bluesound is much better. I also use Roon wit... 
ordering from China.....which Chinese Tube Integrated at 3k?
I like Line Magnetic and I own the 216Ia. It is well built and sounds fantastic. I bought it from a dealer in the USA, Don Better Audio. He has taken care of me and that’s the only way I would buy the brand. I also like Rogue Audio integrated, whi... 
Reasonably-Priced Linear Power Supply for WIMM Pro Plus Streamer
I would get the Teddy Pardo and don’t look back. I use one with my Bluesound Node X and it’s exceptional.  
Who said tape doesnt last :^)
Nakamichi. Ahhh yes. I remember back in my Army days the PX had these cassette players and they were the gold standard of cassette tape playback. You could only do better if you stepped up to reel to reel. The NAK was expensive but the Technics an... 
??? Which Would You Buy ???
Go listen to the components. Most often, with questions like these, the OP has made up their mind which option they want to go with and are posting the question to get confirmation. To be honest, I don’t spend $7500 on any component that others pi... 
The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding
I agree with many here. It’s subjective and everyone has different tastes, preferences and experiences. I am reminded of this saying, “We see what is behind our eyes, not what is in front of them”. I agree with celtic66, “Like finding the right M... 
The cool factor- who has it?
I can play along. What makes YOU cool? Please don’t say your audio system because we have some "heavy hitters" at audiogon. Just look at the systems. BTW Anyone on audiogon who has had to abandon their moniker name or pseudonym and create a new o... 
Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee?
If you like Denafrips as a company and the performance, go for the new one, if not buy another DAC for over $400. One that you like. If you are afraid of another warranty problem, find a reputable dealer with an honorable repair facility or repair... 
RIP Chuck Mangione
Another great jazz artist gone. I hope these great talents are having a huge Jazz Festival in Heaven right now. Playing “Feels So Good” as loud and smooth as it was played on Earth.  
Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
Not too much to say, he is a legend of rock n roll. Luv him or hate him he make a huge impact on music. He said it was entertainment and despite the great music he struggled with drugs and alcohol….later Parkinson’s disease. RIP Ozzy.
