| Worst To First: The True Story Of Z100 New York (Documentary) Thanks. Even though it's not a station I would listen to back in the day, I still enjoyed the documentary. From an audio standpoint, looks to be the beginnings of the loudness wars (max compression). At the time, I had a first class FCC license, ... | |
| A non-subjective recommendation for the Puritan PSM156 I've used them standing up. A vertical stand sold by Puritan, retail $100, provides much more stability. I've used them upside-down when using ifi iPowerX power supplies. Mechanical isolation of your choice always results in a small improvement i... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? I've been in this hobby for about 50 years. Hands down, worst service ever was Shanling of China. They've had a long history of reliability issues and have very little interest in customer support. | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier Long story short. A good friend had a bunch of his vintage, left handed basses stolen from his Long Beach, CA home. He filed a local police report. His favorite was a 60s Vox teardrop shaped bass. Over the next several years, he'd check on eBay fo... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @hickamore You're welcome. After doing a lot of research, Widex appears to be the top choice among music lovers and musicians. They are certainly an improvement over my previous expensive hearing aids, Siemens Signia. I hope they work out well fo... | |
| Kickstarter project Yes, several and with great success. Yes, there are those that have had one bad experience and want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I also have Widex Moment. I agree, the best I've found after trying several others and understand your position. I think I'm right on that threshold. My experience with audiologists has been the same as yours. Oh well... | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? Some that I've met eat Schiit. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @markmuse I also ended up with an upper end Widex pair after living with another brand. After dicking around with these for over a year, I prefer listening without them. I'd rather not have the higher frequencies compared to crappy sounding higher... | |
| Streamer - New Gustard X30 Based on my personal experience, never buy a product like this directly from China. Should it fail, you'll have to ship back to China for repairs which is extremely expensive. Be patient and this, like most of the popular Chinese brands, will be ... | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts @bigtwin LOL, classic. Just ordered one. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Thanks, Terry. I might try this in one of our production studios as well driving. Looking forward to seeing how it mates with active ATC pro monitors. | |
| Legacy Signature SE for 2 Channel @csmgolf I had a similar issue with Focus SEs in my 20'x13' room; a little overwhelming. I found the Signature SE to be perfect in that room. I strongly recommend that anyone considering a Pass amp (excellent products) to also consider the Coda S... | |
| 3 choices for power amp Nonsense, Shill. Quite the opposite. It's folks like you that cause genuine enthusiasts to not trust these forums. |
