| New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this? @m669326A wise perspective worth emulating ! | |
| members and their systems @mrklas: "...it seems folks enjoy their systems...and isn't that the point?" I sure hope so! | |
| members and their systems I don't mean to be unfriendly but your question strikes me as kind of.. odd. Would you approach a stranger and ask how they manage to afford their boat/car/vacation house/Rolex/kid's private schooling, etc ? That's not generally considered polite ... | |
| When does one know it's time to upgrade? " But what i can't wrap my head around is how anyone has any sense of direction when it comes to pairing equipment"...There is, as someone mentioned, the approach of sticking to one brand-- finding a "house sound that you like", although I've nev... | |
| Need DAC Ideas The above "review" of the S3 is more of a press release.However, there are various other reviews of the S3, including:https://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/aqua4/1.html | |
| Need DAC Ideas Oops - I apologize for posting the wrong price on the La Voce III ! I bought mine from Alex at Alma Music in San Diego but it seems they no longer carry Aqua. A pity, as they sent me a demo model to try out before buying, which sold me on the un... | |
| Solution for Schitt Loki wall-wart power supply? auxinput2:Thanks-- I had no idea the Loki had a linear power supply, inside ! | |
| Need DAC Ideas If you are looking for musicality first and foremost, I'd suggest a used Aqua La Voce. The La Voce III is now close to $5000. I paid about $ 3750 for my La Voce II. At one point, John Darko placed Aqua DACs atop several of the higher tiers in hi... | |

| Solution for Schitt Loki wall-wart power supply? fuzztone: "Tight quarters", here, too! I appreciate your advice regarding likely return-on-investment. I was simply curious about whether this might perhaps be a neglected "achilles heel" in my system, having repeatedly encountered the opinion t... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Well, the two of you have provided much food for thought! At this point, I think I need to take some time and try to digest what you've shared. Thanks again for a deeply engaging discussion. I'll keep an eye out for your posts in the future. My ... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Thanks for your suggestions, mahgister. I'm curious how intellectual understanding can impact the spontaneous reaction to music/sound that occurs on a non-intellectual level. If an interval "feels" unpleasant to us, it's not clear to me how unders... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? mahgister: I love: "If the soul is an earth, music is the geology of this spirit....."You are a poet? | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? What a rich discussion ! Thank you, frogman and mahgister, for offering your deeply-considered perspectives. I'm grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a dialogue. Thanks, frogman, for the clarification re: Miles and technique. Up un... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? mahgister: I felt, with that last post, I was going out on a limb somewhat to speak in such esoteric terms on an Audiogon forum and am glad it resonated with you. If you have the time and inclination, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts... |
