    Help with HRT Music Streamer Pro

    I have no idea what might have happened to your dac but you might have better results emailing HRT's support directly. I'm working with them in trying to get mine to play nicely with my computers.

    Attention Chicago/Detroit/Grand Rapids/Northern Indiana Head-fiers

    Of those days the 13th would be the best, but maybe it would be best to hold it in September to give more time for promotion of the event?

    Attention Chicago/Detroit/Grand Rapids/Northern Indiana Head-fiers

    Long time lurker here and I never have been to a meetup like this before but after seeing impressions of the Detroit one in June the hi-fi nerd in me is most excited to attend. I live a transient life between the lower East and West side of Michigan and would love to meet up in my old Alma...

    DAC suggestions for $100-150?

    I've heard nothing but good reviews for the HRT Music Streamer II. It lists at $150. But it doesn't have optical support.   But I'm in the same position as you, I'm looking to buy an entry level DAC for my fledgling computer/system combo so I can ditch the 3.5mm headphone to RCA cord I'm...

    Best vintage Marantz receivers?

    I picked up a 2238B many months back on ebay for about $115 shipped. The receiver was in nearly perfect condition, well above what the seller described it to be. Needless to say the Marantz has been powering my paradigm atom bookshelf speakers to put out blissful sound waves caressing my inner...

    What Thorens table should I be looking for?

    Thanks for the information! My budget really is just arbitrary at the moment for I am now simply in the planning stage of this purchase. I really have no knowledge on these kinds of high end tables, especially the mix and match table and tonearm type setup. I'm looking around the Analog Dept...

    I came to the conclusion that this Dual 1241 is just not worth my time to fix up into great condition, thus being the audio enthusiast that I am, I was somewhat swayed into thinking about getting a Thorens table. First, are there any other turntables that I should be looking at that could be...

    I'm Craving a well recorded cd with amazing vocal harmonies

    I just put in Sting's latest album 'Songs from the Labyrinth' on to test my new Paradigm Atom monitor v5 bookshelf speakers. He really is a great vocalist but I wish they would have given Edin Karamazov more credit then just small text on the CD cover and a couple of mentions on the back on the...

    I got a Dual 1241, need new cart

    I picked up a Dual 1241 on ebay for under $50 shipped and it came with a Shure M91ED cart with a rather worn out stylus. Now I would have no qualms with keeping this cart save that it seems that it is already difficult to find replacement styli for it and it seems that it would only get worse...
