    Re: Too Much Music

    I am coming up on 1919 LPs. And still purchasing what catches my fancy. Many get played once or twice tops because 95% of my listening time is Roon/Tidal where I constantly

    Re: All these DACs makes my head spin - Please

    I am pretty happy with my Mytek Brooklyn DAC+. However, the Lampizatior Baltic 4 looks appealing. But a bit more than I'd want to spend.
    Even the Holo May KTE is a tad pricey for me (well not...

    I'm 60 and yes starting to develop a few "issues" --uncomplicated belly hernia, way overweight, swollen feet w/bad leg veins, but none that are slowing me down significantly work or go wise---may a...

    Re: Darko's podcast about audiophile switches

    So did anyone listen to what Darko said? I dont want to take time to listen.
  5. Re: We Are Living in the Golden Age of Affordable High-End Audio

    Yeah I like uber boxes on racks rather than some slimmed down "system". I am all for say something like an SACD transport to plug into the i2s port in the back of an enthusiast DAC.

    Re: McIntosh MI502

    This is Ncore---and of course carris the Mc price tag.

    For an e-purify Class D, try Audiophonics out of France...or to spend at an higher price, NAD.
  7. Re: Tubed Power Amplifiers. Are the disadvantages too great ?

    My Oly 1s have those specs and I ended up not being satisfied at all with the MC75 monoblocks driving them. I got a beefy solid state 400 watt Class D e-purify amp, and now the fabers sing,
    Now I am...

    Re: Are they going to destroy audio?

    I recently got a purifi based Audiophonics Class D from around 1100 bucks shipped from France. It easily blows away my tubed MC75 monoblocks. But perhaps the MC75s were just not
    a good match for...

    My one listener room is approx 10X12 and is full of records, gear and treatment and sounds very good. At one point it was stuffed with unneeded clutter to even include a 4 nonitor set up. Needless...

    Hmmm I should try with my MC75s and C2500.
    Is Sophia good I wonder?
  21. Re: At what dB level do you begin to have hearing damage?

    Nearly all my listening is done between 78 and 83-85 db. My room is only 10x12 and anything louder would run me out.
    I agree the goose bump factor is decidedly better around 82 versus 75.
