    Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

    It would be interesting to see how the Forte measures up to the Echo Link Amp, which as far as I can tell is a very similar device.

    Don't set your subwoofer on the floor

    Point #2 is often misused. The original states "The customer is always right in matters of taste". In other words, if you think it's trashy or gauche as a salesperson, keep your opinion to yourself. If it's just wrong or bad, the customer is not always right.

    The fact that this and the Hugo are made by the same company is hilarious to me.

    Don't set your subwoofer on the floor

    I mean I can try not to put it on the floor but man it gets heavy to hold when I'm listening to music. Definitely feel it in my chest, though.

    For those of you that are around 50 YO and over - do you think about death?

    Do inexpensive amplifiers age badly over years?

    I have no horse in this race, but if it isn't hottest next to the heat sink that is probably indicative of a design problem by itself. That said, design is all about tradeoffs and I agree that we lack the context regarding this particular tradeoff and assuming it's lazy/bad engineering is...

    Aussie amateur audiophile seeking savvy recommendations for desktop setup

    The Magni 3 does not do speakers. It's a great headphone amp, though. I believe the same is true for Atom. Obv. that isn't an issue if you're using them to feed a powered monitor like the 305s. How much do Adam monitors run in Australia? I bought a pair of the budget line for my son and we've...
