Sounds like this little Receiver has got the twenty-something crowd stumped! They can't fathom who would be interested in this particular unit (no 5.0, no phono, no USB, no optic, etc..). I'll bet it would be fine for a guy who already has a set of speakers he was happy with, but wants to update an older Receiver. He lives in a house (his own), doesn't have to wear headphones (has no parents telling him to "turn it down"). Can play his stuff loud as he likes, but doesn't like it crazy-loud. Outgrew the novelty of "vinyl" years ago, has plenty of music on his laptop, doesn't really buy-into the Hi-Rez bull shit and is happy with the way his Mp3s and FLAC files sound as-is (and already owns a couple thousand of them), and gets whatever else he needs from Spotify or Amazon Music. Also isn't into the Fast and Furious franchise and has no interest in trying to recreate Movie Theatre sound in his living room. In other words, doesn't see audio equipment as a pecker contest.

RayFexcept for the fact that vinyl still sounds better than any other format, (and there's no "novelty" in better sound), you may not be too far off.

doug_s I understand that’s the Party Line, but I was there (when that was the only there, there was) so I recommend you try peddling that particular fable to someone more sympathetic—and much, much younger. I prefer my Snap, Crackle, and Pop in my cereal bowl, not my speakers ;- )

RayFi was there as well - no fable, just the facts. my records sound fine; most have no noise. (except the music, of course). and hardly any noise on those that do - it's hardly a distraction. peddle the snap/crackle/pop fable to someone more sympathetic - regardless of age. ;~) and, the music just sounds better. of course, there's no denying the convenience of digital.

RayFSpotify has quite good quality music. I've tried to download Spotify to MP3 and played them on my receiver offline, it's pretty hard to tell the difference from FLAC.

VincentLeclerc Agreed!

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?

Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x

Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
