Hi All, I'm looking to upgrade my Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. I have a Schiit Jotunheim 2 Headphone Amp on the way. My budget is $1,500 but would like to keep it around $1,200. The below is what is currently in the running with MSRP and not what is currently on sale. Hifiman Arya Organic...

Here’s my Tandberg TD 20A that I had from 1983 to 2020. I wish I still had it to make tape dubs.

Here's mine! Otari MX5050B 2II

I see pictures of the Audioquest Firebird 48 HDMI cable with the 72v DBS sometimes attached to the side of the cable with the arrow pointing away (Transport side) and sometimes pointing in ( Towards the DAC) Mine is on the transport side. My question is does it matter? The cable is directional...

So I was never really satisfied with Mobile Fidelity SACD's but really like their Ultra Disc One-Step Vinyl even though they use the analog master to DSD. Then I'm thinking both are essentially using the DSD format so why so different? Is my analog setup far superior to my digital setup? I...

Looking for a digital AES/EBU XLR interconnect to go from my Pro-Ject CD transport to my Bryston DAC. I have a full loom or Wireworld cables so wondering if I should stick with Wireworld. For Wireworld I was looking at the Micro-Silver Eclipse 8 Balanced Digital Audio Cable but might stretch it...

So I’m looking to start digitizing my LP’s to flac or possibly DSD files. The obvious is to get an analog to digital converter and software for my MAC. Anything else and also how? For an ADC I was looking at the BEHRINGER U-Phoria UMC202HD. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ref_=pd_gw_unk...

I’m looking for a display case for my 2nd VPI 12.7 tonearm. Just basically want to keep it out of harms way. One tonearm has a stereo cartridge and the other a mono cartridge so I go back and forth frequently. Any recommendations?

So for 2021 I'll be looking to upgrade my Marantz AV8801. My TV and Oppo UDP-205 are 4K and would like to finish it off with a new AV Pre/Pro. I very happy with my Marantz AV8801 so I'm leaning on sticking with the Marantz brand but I could be swayed. The small list of contenders are the...

Aurender APP and software updates are both available.

So I'm thinking about getting some Aperture II Panels. My dedicated listening room is about 5 or 6 weeks from being completed. The room will be 18.6' x 14.1' x 8'. I of course would like to treat the room with some diffusion and absorption. I would like to include the Stillpoints Aperture II...

I currently have a VPI Typhoon HW-27 RCM and looking to go Ultrasonic. Looking for some recommendations.

My dedicated room build will finally start next week. Currently my listening room is on the 1st floor and will be moving to the second floor. I’m in pretty good shape but no way am I carrying my Von Schweikert speakers and JL Audio f113 subwoofer up a flight of stairs. :D

Are sound pressure levels higher behind the speakers and sub woofers (Front wall) or in front of the speakers (Rear wall) (Side wall)?

Any differences between the two in sound quality? Which one do you prefer and why?
