I have no problem with what Huff said. Many reviewers feel like him but they also risk not getting gear to review if they have negative reviews. I watch Steve Guttenberg reviews from time to time and you can definitely read between the lines when he does not think too highly of a piece of...

Welcome. We used to live in KC, MO and go to the Lake of the Ozarks and Table Rock lake. Fun times.

Danny has a lot of happy customers especially on the Audio Circles forum. He also makes speaker kits and sells fully made speakers. My issue with Danny is that on one of his videos he claimed that one of his new speakers would sound better than any speaker at any price point. What a bunch of...

I have been in a discussion on the SHF about amps sounding different and the nonsense some people there are spouting about its all in my head is just crazy. They ignore the fact that my Pass X250 amp had thunderous bass and the Parasound A21s bass does not come close. I pointed out that the...

I have heard the Atma-Sphere class D monos at a friend's house and in my system. My friend also owns a pair of his tube monos that sell for over $20k. It is not even close, the tube amps sound so much better. He sold the class d amps and kept the tube amps. I also much preferred my Pass X250...

Dali seems to have a lot of redundant speakers below $3k and it can be confusing. Their higher end lines are very good sounding

A few years ago at one of the last RMAF's there were at least 5 Dali rooms and they were all fabulous. Some of the best rooms at the show. My son and I came away with great respect for the brand. The rooms sounded great from their budget speakers all the way up to a pair costing $25K. They...

I am using a Topping E50 DAC and its digital volume is done by the DAC chip and it does not affect Bit rate or resolution. It is not supposed to affect the sound quality. I tried it and it works well. Here is what AI has to say- No, you do not lose audible bit depth or signal resolution...

I would like to get one in Rosewood or Tiger Ebony with a high gloss finish

I think that I may buy this- https://atoaudio.com/products/unassembled-oem-pioneer-sx-780-880-custom-case-without-metal-vent

Thanks. The question is, do I do a full veneer replacement, build another cover or buy one made out of real wood. I built a beautiful new plinth out of cocobolo wood for my Thorens TD-145 TT that came out great. 6 coats of hand rubbed shellac. That wood is a bitch to work with, it is so...

An acquaintance at the dog park I take my dog to gave me a Pioneer SX-780 is good condition. It sounds fabulous. Much better than the old Marantz SR-4023 receiver I was using in my bedroom system. The Marantz is a bit more clear but I suspect with some deoxit and replacing any marginal caps...
