| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Surprised how many folks on here seem dismissive of car audio. Sure it’s not your all analog 2-channel where Miles David literally appears in your listening room, but cruising and bumping the toons is a blast. An X5 I drive sounded so so, but I up... | |
| Critical listening and altered states Tell me about it when you try and flip the record, fumble, and then have to decide if you should raid the 529 account or not. I tease. That said, listening in altered states takes the gear not just to another level, but a whole new perspective... | |
| Lack of Female Representation Women like interacting with others; men with things. The psychology and evolution behind this are overwhelming. Bags and jewelry are a noisy factor in the model. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I'm a big fan, having the Premium and Dialogue HP, which is used with P3ESRs and Monitor Audio Golds respectively. I also swap the Zu Dirty weekends and a vintage B&W, and it's great. They do seem to catch some shade on here, I'm not sure why... | |

| Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre! I had a similar issue with the a brand new Brooklyn+ bought from an NYC dealer (I'll leave that anonymous for the time being). The thing would play fine for a short time, and sooner or later loud static and pops would come through. At times, ear... | |
| Upgrading integrated...Vinnie Rossi Lio, Primaluna Dialogue, Used Moon? @helomech Yamaha definitely has its following. Have you heard Rotel RA-1570 or older Rotel RX-1052? Both sounded great with B&W 704s that are laying around, but made the MA Gold 200s sound too clinical. Perhaps overgeneralizing but the somewha... | |
| Suitable affordable speakers for Cary Cad 805AE @rafael0054 I've owned a pair of Monitor Audio Golds for a little over a year now and quite like them. They replaced a pair of B&W 704s I enjoyed for over a decade. I can see how some think they are too bright...for starters they took awhil... | |
| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow @audiodoctor I hear your points and don’t doubt your motives or expertise, but you are discounting how you come off to others. Your comments serve to diminish others’ preference, which is de facto subjective, patents and innovation aside, as well ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @slaw. Don’t have a record of his, but Moving On has been in the Tidal rotation. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @slaw. Cheers. New to his beat. | |

| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow To be fair to the moderators, I did make a post (first as new Audiogon member!!) and then deleted my own post that was antagonistic to Audio Doctor, because I realized it had loaded language that should only be an issue about 1.5% of the time yet ... |
