| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» I have two houses full of audio gear. What happens to it, I don't care. I've been giving some to my nephew as his Dad exposed him to audio. He has a pretty high end system so he's not interested in my Mid-Fi stuff. If it ends up going to the thrif... | |
| Should I replace my Conrad Johnson PV-2 with a McIntosh C-28 You'll need a Cary SLP98 or better to surpassed the CJ PV2. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Amir is a modern day Julian Hirsch. Neither did anything to advance the state of the art in audio. | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. Series one and two were interesting pieces. After that, not very good. I had series one for a good while but quicky progressed. I tried series 5 for about 15 minutes, there was no hope for them. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Times have definitely changed. You used to be able to count on a decent used value on good hi-fi gear, guns, cars, motorcycles, etc. Now your lucky to get more than thrift value.

| How do you know when tubes in the phono section of the integrated amp go bad.. You might like the Gold Lyons. Preamp tubes last a long time. You could swap the locations every year. But I think you might notice the difference if a tube went bad. | |
| Mods To A Parasound Amp The A23+ is already upgraded from the A23. | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest They are often true "vintage" audiophiles with decades of dedication and experience. I wasn't vintage when I started. | |
| Audioquest 72v DBS problems with my DAC Sounds like you found the problem. | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? My main system is now a mono system with a CD and a streamer and a few spare tubes (a banker box full, LOL). I can't seen to put a system together for less than $6000 lately. In stereo, closer to $13,000. That is with a lot of experience and caref... | |
