| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? I’m curious. What does it say about the ears, listening skills and sought for sound quality on this entire forum when so few classical cuts or movements are mentioned. A system either can or cannot re create the experience of a full symphony orche... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl It all depends. In my library listening room I have 6 systems with 9 pairs of speakers, four cd players, 2 DACs, two turntables and more cartridges than I can count. I listen to classical, jazz and rock. With each type of music I could convince yo... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Paradise Valley, AZ and Flagstaff, AZ in the summer. | |
| Is it time to just quit? Elizabeth I hope you can continue your presence here. I've enjoyed your posts. A thought. What's really exciting to do, at least for me, is find really good vintage equipment in the wild for almost no money at all at thrift stores. The challenge i... | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? You are all so young. I have to reference a 78 recording of Vaughn Monroe singing Ghost Riders in the Sky. I must have been 6 or 7 years old. Wish I still had it. The other day at a ranch campfire when some folks were singing western songs someone... | |

| Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing? Looking for great vinyl at cheap prices? Look for them in the wild, i.e. thrift stores. I found about 3 dozen in the last week. $1 to 1.50. Amazing stuff. Doesn't happen all the time but they show up all together in one place at the same time as a... | |

| Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids? So sorry to hear that. I am fortunate to have been diagnosed with Meniere's that does not include vertigo. It can still be Meniere's with only 2 of the 3 symptoms. | |
| Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids? Meniere's is greatly impacted by food allergies. Notice more tinnitus after drinking wine or eating a particular food? Get allergy blood tested and see a Neuro otologist smart enough to believe this. Jack Pulec MD (now deceased) left the House Cli... | |
| Going Tidal, Need ??? How about starting with a $50 budget and build slowly from there? Get a Google Chromecast and a mini toslink to toslink optical cable which allows you to bypass the Google Chromecast DAC and take Tidal straight from your phone digitally, (bypassin... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio The comment about the Phillips chip is spot on. No DAC technology can overcome the limitations brought about by a lesser chip. The 1543 is ancient and never came close to performing at the level of its very worthy predecessor the 1541A. I feel DAC... | |
| Do you trust Audiogon? I believe OP was probably talking about an IRS issue related to bank deposit reporting requirements. A reasonable misstatement I think. | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. mcreyn, you've done a great service to the OP here. Kudos to you! | |
| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies I am so happy to see this discussion take place. In order to have the best quality sound that was for me pocket portable for travel I was in the habit of ripping music lossless to the Microsoft Zune application on my notebook PC to play on my 80 G... |
