| Damn, what a joy to have good College FM stations. We have a few good college stations in the Boston area. One my favorites is Power 88.3 Dean College radio in Franklin. Its only about 6 miles from me but I can only get it in a car when closer or with my Magnum Dynalab MD102. I was surprised ... | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? I just picked up the RME adi-2 DAC and it has a great 5 band PEQ, tone controls, and loudness. I usually run it no EQ and it sounds great but at lower volume and non critical listening the Loudness contour is awesome. It is adjustable too with... | |
| signs that tubes need to be replaced Sorry for the delay... those tubes didn't wow me at all at first. I also was waiting for input and driver tubes before any real judgment So amps are freshly re tubed with over 100 hours and they sound great. The bass is probably better than an... | |
| Transparent audio I'll be honest, I had some issues with a Transparent cable so I cracked the "network" open. Was pretty disappointed to see that all that was in there was a 10 cent resitor and a 50 cent capacitor Swapped all cables with networks, MIT and Trans... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Agree with Kenny, starting hobby.... actually not too many mistakes except for buying a used VTL..... that was a costly mistake..... some "lifetime transferable warranty" that proved to be. | |
| DAC Resolution vs Non-fatiguing vs Cost I've had my RME ADI-2 DAC for a few weeks now and it is incredible for the money. It replaced a NAD M51 which I have enjoyed for a while but never used its USB input. Not only do I think the RME sounds better, it does plain fact, but the fea... | |

| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? I love this DAC. It is in an all tube system so I like a DAC that doesn’t add nor detract. It is better in my current system than the M51 it replaced and although I posted the M51 for sale I think I am just going to keep is as the heart of a si... | |

| Local dealer cuts store in half says audio is dead I hate shopping online.... hate it, avoid it when I can. While it's true retail is dying there are still audio dealers that go above and beyond. Audio Visual Therapy in Nashua NH is that type of dealer. I was there last week and although right ... | |
| Media cabinets like BDI but not as expensive Check Craigslist.... when people move there's some things they can't take with. I got lucky last year and bought a mint BDI unit that was $900 new for $125..... | |
| Klipsch Service, is like calling the Federal Government.....What a joke Its frustrating, yes ... I had my dealer get me a replacement driver. | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I just picked up the RME and think it's a great DAC. I think it betters my NAD M51 which sounds pretty good given that its 7 years old... Its is connected to a c-j Classic 2SE pre and a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos running KT 77 power tubes and ... | |
