| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @ghdprentice : What DAC's from the early years of digital sound "hideous"? Inquiring minds want to know! | |
| Is there an 'Audiophile' Reel-to-Reel Machine for Under $1,000? A Pioneer 707 is a good recommendation! I have one. Excellent sound for an affordable price. | |
| SUT for AT-OC9XSL? I have a Bellari in my collection of SUT's. Excellent for around $320! | |
| From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? The Audio Note E's are copies of Peter Snell's Type E's. I have those, plus Type A's and K's. I recommend you try to find a pair of Type A's in good working condition. They are exceptionally fine speakers easily capable of filling a large space wi... | |

Let’s assume an engine for a BMW automobile costs $10K to build. I can understand that. Plenty of parts that must be machined to tight tolerances and then skillfully assembled by a te... | |
| Why are DAC's so much more expensive than transports? @carlsbad2 : I disagree that DAC's are evolving. DAC's have been transparent to the source for decades. They are solved engineering! The expensive prices are money grabs by the greedy. A DAC is essentially the equivalent parts-wise of a computer s... | |
| ?Wireless all in one speakers Signal transmission to the speakers is lossy. Stick to wired instead. | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Regarding speaker size: you can have deeper bass or higher sensitivity - but not both. | |
| Should I use Impedance 4 or 8? No risk of damage. Use the taps that sound the best to you. | |
