| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power Tonywinsc,I hear you. Some of my cheapest tweaks have been the most rewarding. I also help friends upgrade and finding good deals for someone else is plenty of fun. | |
| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power Tonywinsc,Good story. The world would be a more peaceful place if we ALL admitted the varied and sometimes irrational motivations behind our decisions. I'm glad you can enjoy your "shallow" decision as much as I do mine! LOL | |
| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power I'd like to propose that making assumptions about decisions other people make and then self-righteously condemning them is a pretty sketchy practice.For example, my wife and I own two cars that are more than 12 years old. They get good mileage, lo... | |
| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power I'm with Charles1dad on this.I am utterly perplexed at the selective outrage about how OTHER people spend their money. It's as pointless as the audio snobs who look down their noses at people with "lesser" equipment. I wonder whether people would ... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K Wisnon,Happy to entertain. ;-)I'll be a happy man when there's 2 TB of DSD material that suits my tastes. See you on the 'circle. | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K Winson,We're getting pretty far off the OP's original topic, but here goes;I don't remember which Gen it was but definitely not anything from 2013. Again, it was a fine piece of kit. I own the PSAudio PerfectWave MKII DAC and transport. I use top-... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K Wisnon,I have heard the Lampizator 4 several times (without DSD option) and it is a great DAC, no doubt. I did not think it represented enough of an upgrade to justify switching from my current "musical" DAC. As I said, I find the differences betw... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K As I read this thread, it occurs to me that I have been guilty of using hyberbole when describing a high end DAC. IMHO, once one reaches a certain level, the differences between modern DACs are often a matter of subtle preference and feature set. ... | |
| Review Olive 06HD A good company would be horrified to read such a thread and would immediately post a response and a solution. I can name at least three American audio manufacturers I have seen react in this way to quality and reliability issues, so I know that th... | |
| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited Bill_K wrote "I read that their new location is not far from their previous one, so no worries about them moving to China!"That *is* a relief. Based upon my experience, Classe's decision to go to China has *not* been good for build quality. | |
| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited I wish Conrad Johnson nothing but continued success, but the claims that the new MF2550SE is a modified McCormack look to be well founded if you look inside both amps. There's nothing wrong with that, but a comparison of that and the inside of the... | |
| Power Conditioner Recommendation Requested I own top of the line Shunyata conditioning gear and promise you that the best defense against surges and spikes is a whole house surge protector installed at the breaker box. ($250 installed) Your Luxman will do best either plugged directly into ... | |
| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited Jafant,I agree it would be a tough sell. However, given the lagging world economy, I find it difficult to explain the dozens of $50k plus solid state amplifiers for sale throughout the pages of Stereophile and The Absolute Sound. I've been told by... | |
| Buying speakers ten or more years old a good idea? Acidfolk,As you can see, there are many great used speaker options. As to the amplifier requirements of the Thiel 3.6's and above, I think Mcloughlin's description of his upgrade path says it all. You can get by with 250 very high quality watts, b... | |
| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited Joeinid and Jafant,You guys are making me drool. The ART series is a very nice target, indeed. I would dearly love to hear the GAT but, alas, no CJ dealer even within driving distance. Guess I better get to a show one of these days.I'm sure CJ cou... |
