| Class D for a Tube Lover There is no class d amp that will sound like a class A or tubed amp, sorry. The heat thing with class A is over blown in my opinion. Yes, they generate some heat, but not near enough to impact your comfort in the summer time. No way would I give u... | |
| About the importance of the room vs the electronics Just as long as the room is not an empty echo chamber, but instead is fully furnished with both absorbing and reflective materials, then I do not see the issue. I have none of this BS in corners and hanging from my ceiling. My room sounds just fin... | |
| members and their systems I’ll be honest, and I have no shame...I buy one piece at a time, ok sometimes 2....on credit. I then pay it off over time. I am very selective on what I buy, as i will be keeping it for a long time. Music Direct is one resource, as they offer up t... | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? Don't have any real favorites, as most everything sounds great...at least to me...😁 | |
| Raise your acoustic panels or die Buy some more pillows or thicker curtains and save your money and marriage 😁 | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more Sell them Pronto and buy a pair of Tannoy Eatons...you will forever be happy. | |
| Analog upgrade path I would dump the turntable. Buy a pro-ject classic evo and a hana el cartridge (crazy good for $475) or both the goldring eroica lx and Denon 103. Alternatively, buy a Music Hall mmf-7.3 with pre-installed ortofon 2m bronze. Then grab a pro-ject t... | |
| What is the average life expectancy of a DAC? Why would they last any less than any other component? I'd say the guy that said 30 or 40 years is most likely correct. | |
| Are these exceptionally well recorded, or what? Things always sound better when you can fry an egg on top of my sugden a21 class A. 😆 | |
| Brainstorm Thursday. Are we approaching the Audiophile Singularity? Measurements shmezurements....I can care less, as long as it sounds good to me. Too many of these measurement geeks appearing on you tube and else where. Constantly trying to debunk sound differences people claim to hear. It is predominantly cater... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Not on order, but recently received, the Grace Link internet radio with digital out and hi-res capability. $159 on sale at Amazon, although it is now out of stock. It is a terrific low cost component and I highly recommend it for the occasional st... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? Sick of all these videos...just leave me alone. I will buy what I want. If I hear the difference, then it was worth it. Too many busy bodies worrying what everyone else spends money on. Cables do make a difference, at least i can hear it. I did no... | |
| I Have Airborne Feedback And Never Realized It...Till Now Here is a far less expensive, not to mention easier way. Take some rubber grommets and use however many between the wall and the turntable shelf/mount. Upon tightening the screws/bolts (what have you) to the wall, the grommets will compress and pr... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Get a sugden class A...then use something tubed to connect to it, such as a tubed phono preamp or dac. Why fuss with tubes in an amp? The small tubes in both a phono preamp or dac will last a very very long time. | |
| Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!! Maybe user error, too much force used...or maybe just a bum cartridge...it happens with all manufacturers now and then...it maybe slipped by QC...I own the 2m bronze and it is a wonderful cartridge. |
