| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i 3+ years with a used Node 2i and a PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Sr. Sounds amazing. No need for those high dollar Streamer DAC's ! Most of them don't play Amazon Music Hi Res anyways. | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? I’ve been to the Volti/Border Patrol/Triode Labs Cable room over the years and got to know Greg (Volti), Paul (Triode), and my apologies the gentleman from BP’s name escapes me right now. Anyways, as a CW IV owner who modified the cabinets and cr... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations My my needs and my rig is both served well for 2.0, 5.1, & Dolby Atmos (5.4.4). My center channel is a Heresy IV. The L & R are Cornwall IV's. The surrounds are two stacked pairs of sealed box Bose 901's. In ceiling Speakers are two way 8"... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? I’ll make my answer short : MM I’ve owned : OM10 - Boomy midrange, treble rolled off - I can’t believe they are still selling this PoS A Technics PMount in the 1980’s - ok but not much Bass Shure M97HE (circa 1994) an excellent tracker but sadl... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 Black Ice Audio. I’ve owned the F100 mononlocks and F360 Preamp for over a year and Tube rolled from the stock KT88’s to 6550 and now KT170’s with no issues ! My friend bought their F22 (no XLR) and runs KT170’s in it as well. F35 gets you the XL... | |
| Picture Discs Yeah…Picture discs do suck. I’m an ELP freak as well and I have the MFSL LP mint. I always steer clear of RSD stuff and wait until remaining stock is available the day/week after. I once bought a Selena greatest hits dbl. disc picture set for my ... | |
| Listening position/speaker position I recently repositioned my Cornwall IV's from toed in and only a foot or so out from the front wall to straight out in roughly the same position. When I tried this 2 years ago and a few times since then. The straight out (and I've always tilted t... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Don Sachs is awesome, man. Met him for the 1st time in Dallas. Very knowledgeable. | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) YES !!!! Buy it. I have one for over 4 years and a friend recently bought one and had it shipped to his home in Japan ! | |
| Could Class D really be that good? YES !!!! But you need some Tubey goodness or a damn good jfet input section or preamp. | |

| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama I wish someone would do legal action against me (I could use the notoriety, new Subscribers, and "likes") 🤣 Oh wait...the expression "be careful what you wish for" comes to mind (scratch my 1st sentence). Once in a while I’ll call out YouTuber’s... | |
| Minimum Power Needed to Drive Klipsch Cornwall IVs? - Considering Erhard_Audio Ray I run my Cornwall IV’s with Orchard Audio Ultra’s or Black Ice F100’s with KT170 Tubes. Don’t believe the "high efficiency BS that people love to spew about ported Box Klipsches. That 15" Woofer needs a lot of juice to feed your room. While the Tw... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio @hilde45 Ron Brenay & Thomas Tan have been very good to me. My Channel grew because of them. But Toronto Jay I find very Condescending and everything is “the best” he’s ever heard. i have both friends and foes in the YouTube universe. My chan... | |
| Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!! I’ve been lucky in the last few years with "Vintage" Audio Gear. My BATVK50-SE that I bought "as is" from TMRaudio ran great for 2.5 years until a power surge at home while I was out took out the power supply. $1800 including shipping both ways fr... |
