| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm Like we need more nearly indistinguishable model numbers, with new ones--barely different--coming every year. | |
| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion What about the Teac UD-701-N? I believe there are some people very enthusiastic about it. | |
| Differences between models of expensive vs inexpensive DACs I'd bet that the difference between a Topping DAC and a Border Patrol DAC is clearly audible and quite significant. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? @nonoise I emailed Tammy about one of my posts this morning. She restored it and told me she had no idea why it was taken down. Which begs the question of who took it down. Hmm. | |
| Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system? Try removing all the cables from your system and see how well it performs..... If, therefore, cables are an essential part of a system, surely it makes just as much sense to optimize them as it does to optimize the boxes that they connect. | |
| The review wehave been promising is up This post bears repeating, as it sums up the whole thing admirably. No, most people here don’t mind that at all, and notice nobody here ever complains about Verdant, Atmasphere, Duke, etc. Why do you think that is? It’s because they just stick t... | |
| Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations. I'm no devotee of ASR, but anyone seriously considering Starke Sound should take a look over there. Remember also that they really like a bunch of other class D amps. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? There's been some weirdly random and selective taking down of posts in this thread, leaving up some much more objectionable ones. Makes you wonder what's going on. | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Given the belligerence of this guy in this thread and many others, it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to deal with him to actually buy something. But I suppose some people warm to that style. | |
| Old CDs and records @rvpiano I don't know how you decide on a daily basis what to listen to, but looking over your physical library sometimes you must decide to pull something out that you'd half forgotten about. I have no idea how (or if) the algorithms work on the... | |
| Old CDs and records Have you checked the very lively used CD market on Amazon and Discogs lately? There are thousands of classical CDs commanding considerable prices. It does depend on composer, composition, performers, label, but a lot of repertoire, especially th... | |
| Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations. GaNfet technology is where it's at right now in class D, and there really aren't that many integrated amps that use GaNfets. | |
| $20k(ish) tube preamps You won't do better than an Allnic L9000. https://soundstageultra.com/index.php/features-menu/opinion-menu/106-uncategorized/1031-allnic-audio-l-9000-otl-ocl-preamplifier | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Typical post: I'm trying to decide between brands A, B, and C. Typical Troy response: Brand X blows away A, B, and C. BTW, we sell brand X. If this isn't cluttering up the forum, I don't know what is. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? Do extra due diligence and then if all green light try to support this guy in the Ukraine. |
