AudioShark Forums Forum

Hi all, While surfing the net looking for audio-related forums, I stumbled upon AudioShark and could hardly believe it — an actual friendly place for audio people to hang out. Well done! A little about me. My background is in TV broadcasting, production and voice-overs. These days I spend most of my time developing software, and I am fortunate enough not to need to work for money anymore. That led me to start what I call a B-ME project — a Beyond Money Endeavour. That... Read more

This is going to sound weird but we had an electrical storm a few days ago. My system was off and had not been on for a few days. We live in a neighborhood with underground wiring so rarely lose power unless they turn us off to fix another location. The storm the other night caused us to lose power for a minute, then several on and off surges before coming back to normal. Last night I fired up the system and dropped a disk in the player that I have listened to hundreds of times and a few... Read more

Was going to buy some McIntosh teeshirts. Looks like they quit selling them too. Looks like they're thinning the herd.. Wonder if Bose is making them do that ?

I am thrilled today to announce that Bending Wave in Boca Raton Florida will be representing Von Schweikert Audio here in Florida. OUr first products have been ordered and we will be receiving the VR-30's sometime next month.

Hi guys — I wanted to share an update. Someone commented on my YouTube channel that because I haven’t produced a review video on a piece of gear fast enough, that must mean "I don’t like it and I decided to not review it". First, I’m not paid to review gear, and I don’t have corporate sponsors writing me checks as a forum co-owner while I pretend to be neutral (note: I am NOT talking about AS as it is sponsor-free). I have no “masters” to please and no reason to hide whether I like... Read more

I didn't realize it at the time - but the series of videos I produced on experimenting with digital audio & tweaks when my channel was just starting helped launch it. The premise was simple: rather than deal with the forum nitwits arguing endlessly on topics they'd never actually tried themselves (in this case digital audio), I bought 16 network switches with my own money off Amazon and spent 60+ hours experimenting and reporting on my findings. Yes - I decided to actually TRY vs. simply... Read more

Aric Audio is selling the exact one I used as a review unit that I sent back after spending time with it to get to know it and film my video. It's a two-chassis tube pre-amp. I'm a big fan of his stuff. Him and Alan Eaton are among my most favorite.

I recently sold my Pass Labs 100.5 amps and purchased some well cared for Audionet Max amps. I am very happy with them and am rediscovering my favorite songs, as there is even more realism and "realness" with them in the system. Big thanks to my friend, Steve B.
