| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? Who the heck drops $10k on a used product with extremely limited distribution / demand that they've never heard besides a flipper ? Someone who has heard the item elsewhere and knows he wants it. | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? they also mis-identify OLD stock tubes, making basic mistakes like asserting that philips-labelled EI yugoslavia tubes, of which they sent me several pics clearly showing EI yugo codes, are really philips. https://www.tubedepot.com/products/7dj8... | |
| Best 12AU7? We can generalize about the sound of tubes, but you won't know for sure until you try them in your system. The RCA Clear Tops are supposed to be good in the treble. If you want to spend some crazy money, search for Telefunken G 73-R, a very spec... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? I wouldn't take it too personally. If he had it sitting on a shelf, that would be one thing, but boxed up, he's probably pretty busy and doesn't want to unbox it again. He's pretty sure that it will sell at 50% off and he has a lot of other stuf... | |
| external DAC I don't know, but I've always thought (maybe mistakenly) that DSD could only be output through an HDMI connection. There is a d.bob, digital break out box, GeerFab Audio - GeerFab but that requires DSD to be input by HDMI. I don't think you can... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? So you just wanted to start an analog vs digital argument? You really don't have anything better to do? | |
| Seeking help with the Innuos Sense app Yeah. I'm in the same situation. | |
| Seeking help with the Innuos Sense app The Innuous Sense app, like most apps, uses pictures of album covers as its most common way of displaying music for choice by the user. There will also be text of the artist and name of the album. These are in pretty small print and are not partic... | |
| why expensive streamers This high accuracy rate would mean perfect audio bit transfer. As you know, there’s more to good sound than perfect bit transfer, electronic noise transferring with the bits, for one. It’s like wires and everything else in audio that shouldn't ... | |
| Synergistic Purple Fuse - Aftet 1 Year of Use Perhaps the differences from the purple fuses were more apparent to you a year ago because the differences were new. You know how great your system sounds after a really good upgrade and then after a while it just kind of becomes the norm? We ge... | |
| Esoteric Amps with Revel Salon 2 Speakers Here are the specs from Stereophile: Sensitivity: 86.4dB SPL/2.83V/m (4 pi anechoic). Impedance: 6 ohms nominal, 3.7 ohms minimum at 90Hz. Recommended power: not given. Looking at those specs, I'd say you don't want a low power amp. What is th... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby I feel sorry for all the Audiophile Billies around here and I think you have problems elsewhere in your lives that make it impossible for you to enjoy music. I don't want to get into your lives any further, but as far as audio goes, just relax an... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby Audiophile Billy is sitting there fretting about the distortion, the transient accuracy, the imaging, the soundstage, on and on and on and on…. Billy is a ball of anxiety, angst and minutiae-scrutinizing madness. I have never met anyone who li... | |
| Moody Blues founder Mike Pinder passed away today at 82 I loved the Moodies and still do. Sad to hear that another has passed. I guess we should just be glad we're still here to listen to their music. I'd love to get a 50th Anniversary Question of Balance. | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? This problem comes up frequently and I don't think there's a solution. We all like different music. Music that one person loves drives another person out of the room. What's a presenter to do? I sympathize with them because they have 24 hrs to... |
