| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Twodogs, you have another vote here for the latest Node as a great place to start. The sound quality is good out of the box without an external DAC, and the price is a relative bargain for what you get. Another thing to consider is which streami... | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. We live in a free market economy, so the US president doesn't have much say over the price of vacuum tubes or gasoline, and I prefer it that way. As for the price of tubes, my local audio dealer is holding the line on prices since he doesn't want... | |

High quality oxygen free 14 gauge pro audio cable with Eminence Gold connectors. I don't have comparative experience with higher end cables, but the bass extens... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? One only need look at reviews posted 3-4 years ago to see that prices for many components have gone up 10%-20% over the past few years, due to the factors cited by many in this thread - supply and demand, economic conditions, supply chain pressure... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile I suspect most people on this board haven't heard Schiit products, and don't care for the company's stated mission of providing cost-effective audiophile products. What if Schiit called themselves something more reverential, say "Acoustic Excellen... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile Lots of posters on this board who are obviously unfamiliar with the concept of the sunk cost fallacy. |
