| Crackle and hiss on some albums @tsbarro Congrats on the upgrade! I moved up to a Planar six (w/exact 2 cart) from an old Dual 1219 a couple of years ago and it was well worth it. Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of variability in quality from album to album. Many new al... | |
| Finally upgrading my amp I'll second a used Hegel integrated. The highest up the chain you can afford. Hard to beat IMO. But, I am biased, I own the H360. If you can up your budget just a little....... https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650069703-hegel-h360-inte... | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil Wow, that's awesome! I wish the wifey would surprise me with a nice piece of gear. But then she would know how much this hobby costs and I would be sleeping in the dog house! 😂😂😂 Congrats, and happy holidays! | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 @sparksgja Look used for better value. There is an ad here on Agon for a pair of S/510 for $2,700.00 (located in Chicago). I know, above your stated budget but maybe you could up the budget a little bit and make an offer. Then you get two of ... | |
| Opinions about Daniel Hertz Should I assume you watched the video from Adrian at Audio Excellence Canada? I've always considered ML stuff quite expensive but what do I know. Many folks swear by it. I've considered a few used items in the past but eventually to rich for my... | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer I have a separate set-up for movies with a cheap sub that works just fine. I never touch it. But, I am an occasional tweaker of my REL t9/x sub in the main system. First, it depends on what speakers I am using at the moment. If the Snell Typ... | |
| Tubes for Rogue Audio Perseus Magnum Preamplifier @topten I know this is a very old thread but I am in the same boat right now and wondering what you came up with. Thanks | |
| What do/did you do for a living? @ozzy Thanks for the kind words! | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? @audiodwebe Like you, I have not heard many dacs. Started with a Jolida glass dac and it really didn't sound any better than my MacBook. Bought a Bluesound and started streaming with that. Heard a slight improvement to my ears. Then on to a Dena... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Fun and interesting thread! I’m a plant guy for the last 30 years. Grower, garden center manager, now landscape designer/sales for the last 16 yrs. I’m 57 and was hoping to retire at my current position but landscaping is a crap show these days w... | |
| Another Golden Ear test. Geez, is there alcohol involved in many posts lately? I think I need some more whiskey to catch up to the OP. | |
| What was your first record? Cheap Trick Live at Budokan Played on my ultra low end TT/8 track combo unit. Can't remember the brand to save my soul! | |
| Taxation using PP G&S Thanks for all of the responses. You guys are great. Sounds like with the small time stuff I deal with there should be no problems. Regards | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? If the offer is not totally low-balled I will usually try to negotiate. But, I always respond just to be polite. Are low-ballers a PITA? Sure, but being polite is pretty easy. I always try to remember and take the high road so to speak. Cas... | |
| Odyssey Audio Kismet Mono Blocks @soix Thanks for the info. I will look into Liberty. |
