| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question I have the Sony UBP-X800 M2. According to the owner's manual, it will play all manner of Blu-ray, DVD and SACD. They do provide a disclaimer stating that disc specifications are an evolving format, and some may be unplayable. Unfortunately, I can... | |
| Yamaha M80 Amp Update on my M-80. After letting it sit in the basement for several months, I decided to revisit my search for a repair source for my amp. After seeing a name pop up on several forums that I don't even remember now, I hit a gold mine, thirteen min... | |
| Room Setup/Tuning/Compensation War Stories What a kind and thoughtful reply from sonds_real_ audio. | |
| Bass lovers - Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo So I just ran across this on Amazon. I have the Ultra HD level subscription. Album by Billy Strings called Renewal. The last song is called "Leaders". Plays on Amazon HD at 24/96 FLAC. First time I heard it was walking with my LG V40 playing to m... | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? vinylvalet I purchased a similar one a couple of years ago. Has a handle with 3 different lenses. Also had 1 eyeball repair in September, Long story but they had ordered the wrong lens and she didn't notice until after it was in. Not as bad as... | |
| System advice For his musical tastes, I would recommend a Bose table radio. :) Just kidding! Happy holidays. | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Two things, Me, the person who never wins anything, just scored a very nice DALI IO-6 headphone set. Won them by submitting a review on my recently purchased Bluesound node. This past Friday the better half indulged me with a brand new Flexsteel ... | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil Congratulations and well done on all fronts. My lovely wife is a wonderful person but unfortunately care not one whit about my hobbies. Audio and acoustic guitars. | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2637213 What a bummer. I purchased a pair of "open box" KEF R3 Metas earlier this year. Totally love them. Too bad you're having such a terrible experience. | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I've also had tinnitus for years. Who knows from what. When I was in boot camp way back in the mid 60's, we took a battery of aptitude tests. My highest score was in sonar. So I figure I had pretty good hearing back then. Tinnitus is difficult to... | |
| Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there? So, not to be a Donnie downer (but I suppose I am) I enjoyed smoking in my youth till I didn't. I was a heavy smoker from about 17 until I quit cold turkey at 43. I was one of those idiots who thought I'd smoke and stop just before I got sick. I ... | |
| Tubes, tone, and old age. Carlsbad2 @llg98ljk Keep whipping that dead horse repeated by ss fans ad nauseum. Maybe you didn't pay attention to my post. I'm whipping no horse, dead or alive. My point is simply that audio perfection would mimic the source. The technology is... | |
| Tubes, tone, and old age. If you think about it, despite all the noises on forums, chasing the audio holy grail has little to do with "perfection". It has everything to do with what you think you want to hear. One of the best examples to me is tube equipment. Many people ... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? Off. At least for now. At my age, end game is way too close for me to squander resources on chasing the next best thing. | |
| Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there? I have pretty modest tastes in both audio and liquor. Couple of days ago I picked up a bottle of Maker’s Mark 101. In my humble opinion, one of the nicest bourbons and an especially good bargain. Goes well with my KEF R3 Metas fortified by dual HS... |
