Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services.
bigtwin No offence at all. Perhaps you misunderstood. I have audio equipment because I like to listen to music and I like really good sound. If others buy it because they like the Macintosh dials and coloured lights, fine, their business, but not... 
Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services.
bigtwin Why elitist. All I am saying is that for me the quality of the sound reproduction of the system is of the utmost importance. I really do not car what it looks like. There is one exception to this and that is Fink Teams Borg speakers. I hav...

"So if you bought a Porsche, for the performance & ride, you would never stop to admire the body lines?  Right. " Yes, correct. I find those who buy equipment because of the way it looks and not the sound amusing.  
Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services.
No, near enough is not good enough. I listen to music to get the greatest enjoyment I can. I do not look at equipment for the sake of looking at equipment.  
High end Class D amps?
"For the perfectionist audiophile, they will not be in the class A quality, but 99% of the people will not quite notice the difference." This is not correct. Spec, mentioned above, and Mola Molas will give you outstanding quality.  
Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!
tubebuffer Sorry but I do not have much time for Gutenberg. He may be a nice guy and comes across as such, but a lot of what he sasys is just plain wrong or makes little sense.  
More expensive = better?
A more expensive amplifier is not necessarily better. For example, people pay a lot of money for Macintosh when there are other amps around that are far better and cheaper. Having said this, there are some expensive amps that will give you a supe... 
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
lordmelton: "Class A is the absolute best sound quality and contrary to popular belief they don't get that hot." Sorry but you are wrong on both counts. There are plenty of AB and class D amps that sound just as good if not better, and "yes", cl... 
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
There is also Spec. Spec is a Japanese maker, class D, but sounds like tube amps. Cheaper than the Mola Mola.  
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
Ypsilon is quality and recommended. Have you considered an integrated from Mola Mola Kula. Class D, and real hi end?  
Passive vs Active...Again!
Have a look at Kii 3s or Aqueo Audio Stillas. Both are attractive designs and excellent speakers. Both can tame any room, especially the Kiis.  
When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
"When auditioning new speakers have you ever listened to a pair you thought you really liked only to realize you didn’t like them at all after seeing their measurements/specifications? " No! Why on earth would I do that? If they sound good, they ... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
The most enjoyable Dacs I have heard are the Tambaqui and the Emm Labs DA2V2, and they both cost a lot more than $99. If anyone cannot hear the difference, fine, stick with $99.00 Dacs and save yourself a lot of money. However I can hear the diffe...
