| 30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers? I have a pair of Boston Acoustics A150’s. I’ve re-coned the woofers but sound excellent still. 40 years old! Point being yours can sound great, too. If the woofer surrounds are not disintegrated and they sound good I’d say leave them alone. If yo... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's @dekay If I send you postage would you send me your throw-aways? | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE and rivals Is there any place that a rich person isn't trying to convince you that you must have what they are selling? Moderator...should sellers be posting here? I've noticed if anyone else says anything out of the way at all it get's removed. | |
| Echoey walls and dust mites When I saw the topic, for a second I was thinking dust mites as sound absorbers. lol Rock it hard and maybe that will take care of them. But then goes the absorption as well. Dust mites are mostly prevalent where there's dead skin. Dead skin ... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? You can do it all day with mac or windows as long as you use a great external DAC. Simple as that. BUT...lol...there's really no comparison to dedicated, purpose built hardware. | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it @jpan There was a time when I, used to develop/program, would have said that the open source concept would produce tons of problems. Intuitively it would seem so right? But the opposite is the case. I've had less trouble with open source appl... | |
| SACD Players I might catch some shade for this but Sony's top blu-ray does SACD and is a really good unit. Maybe just check it out a bit. Good luck! | |

But there are often issues that only "certain" people see due to "who the hec knows what". You'd be surprised how oft... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma @yesiam_a_pirate So some are touching on the real problem here but most don’t seem to really understand it. Our ears are adapted to hearing human voices. Most of the time these are in the mid-bands. Because of this we have the Fletcher-Munson Curv... | |
| FEEDBACK HUM: Eversolo DMP A8 related For what it's worth I got one about six months ago and haven't had any issues with it at all. | |
| What's my best upgrade options I'd say a good digital source or power conditioning depending on how your utilities are. A new source is a little more fun, right? But power conditioning would give your system a good foundation. | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @mitchagain Thanks so much! Well it did get remixed but it's not so good. lol I will definitely check that out further. That's interesting too! Thanks agian! | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? Not necessarily holy grail material but wish I could find a new cd of Billy Thorpe/Children of the Sun. The only new thing avail is the "revisited" version which is a lesser mix IMO and missing a great tune that I believe charted back then. Chain... | |
