| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? It would appear that smaller artisan boutique manufacturers will price their components at a comparatively higher price than a large company. If I were to order a DAC from some arcane manufacturer in Eastern Europe and there are only a handful of ... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? I’ve never seen Steve Earl but I saw Canned Heat in the early 1970’s. Anyway, the article is like an editorial page, what I tend to believe is true based on my limited scope or understanding. Every time I check the website for The Electric Recordi... | |
| Digital Cable Recommendations I’m going to buy a Cullen Crossover Series Power Cable for my DAC in a couple of weeks. It was recommended as a very good cable for digital and the price is unbeatable. I’m using older HiDiamond interconnects and speaker cables. | |
| Ozzy is done Growing up, Black Sabbath was ubiquitous as was Led Zeppelin and early Aerosmith but I wasn't a big fan. So I went to see Van Halen's first tour where they completely played their first album prior to Black Sabbath as the headliner. After Van Hale... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 Nice! | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 @bwguy That’s the thing about Clear Audio, you can spend as much as you want. I will say that if you’re around the entry level, upgrading the tonearm is a good idea if it’s financially feasible. The table matters too but the primary issues concern... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 For some unknown reason, McIntosh is taking extreme amounts of time regarding repairs, orders, etc... As stated before, McIntosh tables are made by Clear Audio. Their turntables mainly appeal those who have McIntosh systems and want to keep the a... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's @au_lait please clarify, You only heard what some business man allowed through the gate. Congratulations on your limited knowledge | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's Admittedly I find pitch correction software to be one of the most fatiguing things I've ever listened to. I grew up with the understanding that singing or playing with absolute pitch was expected and if someone didn't possess that ability, they pu... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's @kairosman New technologies have given us life like recordings. DSD 128 is jaw dropping. Listening to music live has and will always be my first choice but my inability to travel as I once did makes it so that I’m dependent on audio playback. We a... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's It makes sense that older folks would have a deep sentimentality towards the influences of their own generation. I suppose it’s human nature to make comparisons based on subjective familiarity. However when I look at Giacometti painting it would s... | |
| Herbie's Fat Dots Way Excellent Turntable Mat, CD Mat, Tenderfeet, Dots, Stabilizer, they’ve all made improvements! | |
| David Crosby @riley804 Thanks, totally missed those other posts. | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @eagledriver_22 What tonearm are you using and how important is the tonearm when tracking strictly mono records? Does the Cadenza sound better with older mono versus newer remasters? | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @jcarr I was wondering if and when you would make your presence known, glad you’re back! Since you joined the conversation back in the day, several other cartridge manufacturers have created a mono cartridge of their own. One that stands out in my... |
