| Best way to sell a record collection The trade off is money vs convenience. You will make more doing it piecemeal, particularly if discogs has told you some of them are worth something. If you send them have value. However it’s time consuming, and be prepared to deal with disgrunt... | |
| Ideal Qualities of a CD/SACD Transport I can’t play in a $26K sandbox for a transport so I probably won’t be able to give you a great answer. I use an Oppo 105 for SACD . The Oppo can be set to output the DSD layer of SACD over HDMI. My Bryston DAC has 4 HDMI inputs. My SACDs sound... | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming I just checked and the Bluesound PowerNode goes for $950. Assuming they are using the same DAC as the latest iteration of the Node, I can at least vouch for the DAc, but I can’t comment on the amp. You ought to be able to audition one in your sy... | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming Does Bluesound make an all in one? And do you need storage for recorded CDs, or will it be playing music from a service such as Spotify? | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby +1 @hilde45 We figured in a previous thread that there less than a million audiophiles in the US and of that group only a small number care enough to post about it on internet sites. Attempting to deny a love of sound on this site is akin to ... | |

| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong I disagree that as a manufacturer they shouldn’t voice an opinion. There are plenty of manufacturers who weigh in on the opposite side, attempting to create a market for products that listeners did just fine without, such as power conditioner, ul... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Is it possible to really generalize about this? Can we say that all mms are inferior to all mc, for example? Or are some mm better than some mcs? One can speak of general traits of differing technologies, but ultimately a high degree of musical... | |
| Music first or sound first? I haven’t read all the threads here but I suspect more people voted for music, even if they aren’t being truthful | |
| So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it Never heard of it | |
| So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it I streamed a movie from Netflix and then the next day I was in my local library and saw that they had the Blu Ray. The latter sounded so much better that it was startling. I listened to a bit on Netflix again to make sure that I hadn’t imagined ... | |

| Think I ruined stylus @thecarpathian are you referring to looking at the stylus, or the other activities mentioned in the OP? | |
| Am I right for this forum? I’ve developed an increased appreciation for music, and the love of communicating it, since starting piano lessons over a year. I still suck, but have at least a small little collection of of pieces that I can play with feeling and get a response... | |
| Napping while listening When I was working (I retired a few months ago) at the end of a long day I would sit in my recliner, start enjoying music and frustratingly fall asleep as my enjoyment was starting to peak. Something about removing stress that allows fatigue to e... |
