Welcome, S! I can recommend a -would have to be used- Nakamichi SoundSpace 8 as excellent . I have a Bluetooth receiver connected through its RCA aux-in input. It comes in black or silver. I have the nice silver, but today I'd pay a premium for a premium black issue. Availability is probably...

I have six devices connected to my integrated. I believe only the two analogue devices can be powered off "completely" of "fully". The four digital ones are each moved to a "standby" state regardless of the labeling on the units or the remotes, whether it's "power", "standby", "on", "off", etc...

Depending on your level or breath of interest, and if you would especially appreciate a musician/producer's perspective, I can recommend two CDs by Bob James: Rameau, and The Scarlatti Dialogues. I specifically recommend the liner notes in the CDs in which the Rhodes Scholar describes and...

Here's a link to a review of the pretty TEAC. Personally, I'd hold out for a fully-automatic version. |wink| http://www.audiophile.no/en/articles-tests-reviews/item/2539-test-teac-tn-4d-en

You say it as if it's a meaningless or inferior tactic against "pops and farts". I have a decades-old Deema Carbotex Antistatic carbon fiber brush that still keeps my newer and older records sufficiently clean and quite quiet. I also keep a nice little also-old brush next to it to stroke my...

Welcome to the forum, A. Excuse the delay, and I hope it is an appropriate place for an idea, because otherwise this will probably be deleted. I've used digit audio players (or DAPs), for years. My current and maybe forever device is a HiBy M300. It is super light and compact, and reproduces my...

Note that this is a JadeAudio -a Fiio subsidiary- DAP, rather than one from Fiio proper. Indeed Fiio has just followed up with its own M21. The JM21 has a lot of very mixed -lots worst- postings at its head-fi.org device pages. I have no experience with it.

I tried to spin a yellow Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard, that I borrowed yesterday, but my Technics SL-L3 could not "see" it evidently today, which I had not experienced before. I have no other colored discs to test currently, though black discs are still playing nicely. (I only own...

Listened to Miles of Aisles yesterday, which I had neglected.

No we have not -still, and I don't expect it. I have 3 excellent dissimilar CD players and no "transports". I also stopped preferring Spotify, by the way, because it stayed inferior to newer music-streaming options, including the HD and Ultra HD Amazon Music offerings to which I switched...

Welcome, bluenite. The Beyerdynamic DT900 Pro comes in both 250 and 80 ohm impedance: you may find a comparison test interesting if you can arrange it.

Another welcome from another Mission fan here: I purchased a pair of 700s in 1985 -perhaps the model referenced here more recently: https://www.whathifi.com/news/mission-700-speakers-are-a-blast-from-the-past I did/had still run them in a secondary setup for ~10 years, UNTIL a few months ago...

On exaggeration: Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught. Nothing makes an audio story longer than almost being understood. There are no substitutes for your own tastes, experiences, and judgment. Learn and trust them.

It was never a factor for me either. I bought the original Cyrus One in 1985 as my first adult, "separate", post-receiver unit because it was so remarkable visually and sonically. It was recommended by the owner of a shop I respected, and for what I knew at the time, I probably liked that my...

I'm surprised it has taken this long. Aside from wide vs. narrow, I've expected integrated amps to routinely integrate streaming (and to end the continuous supply of stand-alone units). Either way, it's a cheap implementation with licensing fees probably exceeding the cost of chips, tiny screens...
