    Would you Pay $250 to Hear Specific Equipment at a Dealer?

    Same here. Everything I own now I bought online based on reviews and user comments.

    Celebrate Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"

    I loved that album and listened to it constantly when it was released. I'm pretty sure I have a digital version, so I need to find it and listen again.

    Breaking in gear. Does one really notice/remember a change?

    For me there have been occasions in the past where I realize that after some period of time the system really sounds better with new gear.

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    Can't be any worse than FM radio.

    Attenuation should be clarified as different to pre-amplification

    How do you increase/decrease the volume without a pre-amp? How do you switch sources?

    Cow Dung Speakers

    Interesting cabinet. Anyone actually hear this speaker?

    Do you use cables to 'tune' the sonics of your system?

    I just want cables that move an electrical signal between two points without adding to, or subtracting from, the signal.

    The Music or the Gear?

    Both. I want the music I enjoy to sound it's best.

    High Performance DC cable for MSB DAC by Angus Leung and Westminster Lab Takes My System to Another Level

    As a side note, I have the Westminster Labs cable for the Lumin X1, and I was just amazed at the sonic improvement it provided. Without a doubt it was one of my better cable purchases.

    Pass Labs X600.8s

    I love my Pass 600.5 amps. Whether playing classical in the 70db range or metal in the 80-90db range they sound great. Plus they never get out of Class A.

    The Rise of the Uber-High End Integrated Amp

    Maybe the issue is what defines an Uber high-end integrated amp. Price? Performance? Cosmetics? Manufacturer? All four?

    Done with digital

    Not really sure if file format really matters anymore. My Lumin playlists are a combination of ripped CDs, downloaded DSD, and high res tracks from HD Tracks. Maybe I’m going deaf, but I love all of them.

    In-wall cable question

    When I had my three 20 amp lines installed I asked that they be 10 gauge lines. The electrician installed solid gauge wire from whatever wire they used. Anyway, they sound great and I haven’t had any issue with them.

    Natural Sound

    It would seem that any sound made by an instrument, whether live or recorded, is unnatural.

    Yes, he also spammed AudioShark.

    When do speakers start to wear out?

    I have had my Magico S5 Mark II speakers for at least five years now, and while they sound great, maybe even better than originally, I am curious how long that will be the case. Speakers are mechanical devices, and we all know mechanical devices wear out over time. So, being 72, I was...

    Pass XP-22 broke last night

    While looking for another thread, I found this one. Three years later and the XP-22 is working fine. Listening to it now, and the system sounds great. I have to admit time flies. Where did the years go?

    Worst Movie of All Time?

    I loved Avatar, and must have watched it 10 times. Now I’m waiting for the upcoming sequel.

    Top Gun Maverick

    That’s quite a compliment. Can’t wait for it to be released on high res Blue Ray.

    Michael Fremer Joins The Absolute Sound

    I subscribe to both the absolute sound and stereophile. Love them both, and read everything, even the ads.

    Addressing harmful effects of sunlight on my gear

    I doubt if sunlight will hurt your gear. At least as long as the temperature doesn’t go above 100 degrees. Maybe after 10-20 years the paint might fade.

    UltraAnalogue's Superlative Tatsuki Narita tape

    Why? It will only sound as good as your computer speaker.

    Re-imagining The Cable Connection

    Not to hijack this thread, but I have to comment again on the cable. Today, a week later, I have to say this cable is amazing. It has been installed and burning in for a week, and I am just amazed at how good the system now sounds. It is hard to believe that a 0.6 meter cable with premium...

    Re-imagining The Cable Connection

    A quick note on Friday. I am just amazed at the sonic improvement from the cable. The music has just improved, has become more apparent.

    Re-imagining The Cable Connection

    The Westminster Labs cable arrived tonight (Tuesday) about 6:30 PM, which was perfect since Tuesday and Friday night are music and beer nights. Since this power cable is so short compared to the stock X1 power cable I had to move the X1 to the center of the rack, and put the power supply on the...

    What does any of this have to do with working from home "destroying society from the inside out"?

    best thing i have read in a very long time....

    Some people having the ability to work from home, and the past remote school exercises are two entirely different and unrelated activities. I retired in 2019 as a Software Engineer, and had worked from home for years, usually on Friday.

    Do Tubes Homogenize the Sound of Our Music?

    I am in the process of ordering an upgraded cable between my Lumin X1 and it’s power supply. I hope that one thing makes an audible improvement.
