  1. Anyone had experience with the ONEaudio line of wireless speakers using DECT technology? Looks like an interesting wireless solution assuming the sound delivers on their promise. https://www.oneaudio.cc/ https://www.oneaudio.cc/innovation Be interested in the forums' thoughts. Bill
  2. Has anyone had experience with any of the ONEaudio line of wireless speakers? Interesting fully wireless solution using DECT technology. https://www.oneaudio.cc/ https://www.oneaudio.cc/portable-speaker
  3. funny, I couldn't find it via the search pane...will have to check on that. Try this: Wavelength Audio Cosecant USB Tube DAC An Audiophile Classic | eBay
  4. For anyone that might be interested, there's a mint Wavelength Cosecant DAC with Denominator upgrade (Sabre) now available on eBay. Be nice if it went to someone from the CA community, Cheers, Bill
  5. Much of the joy of playing an instrument (or owning absurdly expensive audio gear) is in realm of psychic value. In the case of an virtuoso violinist, one wonders if there isn't something non-measurable about playing a Stradivarius that is generations old with a sense of history and destiny embeded in the instrument that's on the one hand not measurable quantitatively or qualitatively in blind testing but somehow translates into an internal sense of the joy of touch, feel and other intangibles. My two cents...
  6. Any thoughts out there on a "fair market" used price for my upgraded Cosecant V3?
  7. I'm thinking of the loooong-way step down to something in the $100 -200 range that doesn't seriously screw up my otherwise remarkable rig. Thanks for the quick reply...much appreciated. Cheers, Bill
  8. After years of audio enjoyment I'm thinking of selling my beloved Wavelength Cosecant V3 USB tube DAC (upgraded to the 24/96 board by Gordon) which begs a couple questions I'd like to ask this august forum: 1) What do you think the fair market value of a upgraded WL Cosecant in perfect condition (ebony finish vs the standard cherry...very handsome unit IMHO)? 2) What would be the "best, least cost" USB DAC replacement so I can at least still play files from my mac mini server? Thanks in advance for any input from the group Kind Regards, Bill
  9. ....what? could you repeat the question? speak up, sonny! For critical listening if you...as I do...suffer from moderate to severe hearing impairment, a great pair of headphones are really the best answer. I have a pair of $6K in ear hearing aids that can be set for various environmental conditions...top of the line, micro-computer controlled that are really remarkable using them in general life situation. I had the technician create a separate setting for simple amplification with no computer assisted alteration of the audio information...thinking maybe this might work with my full system. Listening to my system with them makes by $20K plus rig sound like I'm listening to a $6.00 transistor radio. Headphones on the other hand are magical...depending on the cans you have and what's running them. What I do when I want to listen to my full system is take the hearing aids out... turn the up gain to a volume where I hear a full sound and as much nuance/detail as possible ... and hope the neighbors don't have any glassware on their walls. But that's not always possible or neighborly. So I put on the Grados quite often.

    Not that I ever inhaled or anything, but I seem to recall some columbian weed from my college days that made my old KLH portable record player sound every bit as good as my current system. Or at least that's what I remember... I propose a test. A: your current speakers rigged with lamp cord and a bong full of excellent weed. B: your current speakers rigged with $2000 cables and a diet coke. Wonder which set up would win? ;0)
  11. For approx $3K you can get a mint McIntosh MC252...a classic SS amp. Do you buy brand new cars off the lot?
  12. I now wear a hearing aid in both ears. Does this mean I should turn them up...or down?
  13. wow, talk about Capt. Buzzkill...
  14. Just when you thought you have seen 'em all. Introducing the new VibraPortal ! "Voted as product of the year 2011 by customers. Now it's released with a new wavy pattern that also takes care of room reflections. Designed to perfection, both inside and outside. This is the ultimate VibraPortal for a low cost. Together with our introductory price it's an offer you can't miss. Brand NEW from factory! VibraPortal Sahara Forest improves everything in the music without leaving anything behind. The resolution is ultra high but without any smearing, it's textured and natural! The soundstage is bigger and more open with stronger bass. Everything is very calm and clean even though it's warmer." Who would've ever guessed that camel droppings would become the next tube traps! It's clearly not your mother's vibrator...yours for only $249...limited time only. Top that tweak, dudes. Cheers, Bill
  15. This was kinda like the pretty Christmas present that you weren't allowed to open. After 3 attempts to download and install Hifi and getting an error message "this service not available, please try later" when I tried to select the demo option...I gave up.
