| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction Your audio system sounds amazing. I don’t think I had much choice as a young boy. I was fascinated by my grandfather’s vacuum tubes laying around everywhere. Is it any wonder I have an integrated vacuum tube amp with NOS RCA tubes in one audio sys... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? I don't like Magico as a brand. I had heard the speakers don't come with grills and if they are serviced, Magico will not ship them back to the customer. After one pays $75k for speakers... and the company can't foot the bill to ship repaired spea... | |
| Turned back into a music lover Good observation. I had spoke to a non-audiophile friend of mine and he asked me about listening to music on my audio system. I call it my High Fidelity rig. I told him that sometimes when one listens to a song one can hear sounds that would not n... | |
| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig ronboco Are those Rockports? I heard those are amazing speakers. I can't really imagine those speakers to sound anything but stellar! | |
| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig prentice Wow retired and all that you mentioned. That is wonderful. Not quite to the retirement age, but I think my idea of an ideal situation might be very close to yours. Although my wife and I would like to travel around for some months.... if... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present Glad you got the sub you wanted and the sound you wanted. This HIFI and audio game has its ups and downs, but it's really fun when it sounds good. Sometimes it takes a little while, a small adjustment or struggle ... then the plan comes together. | |
| Narrowing down the field (DAC wise) I was in the same boat as you about 1 year ago. I think the Terminator would be a great choice (It gets stellar reviews online). My choice came down to the Ares II and the Schiit Bifrost II since my budget was not really high. I settled on the Bif... | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? Just to throw another different stick into the fire.... on youtube Danny at GR Research often takes apart big name speakers to show audiophiles and really anyone else what you get for the money you spend on high dollar speakers. He has done this w... | |
| For you Odyssey Audio Stratos amp owners I tried the Tempest and Candela with that amp. Unfortunately those three pieces of audio gear were the worst I had ever owned... period. I had hum issues from the transformers and that was a common problem with Odyssey audio equipment. Klaus has a... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers audiorusty- Good analysis and I agree. Although my favorite subs are Rythmik, Vandersteen and JL Audio | |
| Those that upgraded from Tekton I have had the Tekton DI SE for about a month now. So far I like the speakers alot. I can run them with my smaller tube amp. I would say they go deep and agree with others the sound signature is different, although not necessarily better. Mine are... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Bluesound Node can be gotten used, so I will join in with others on that option. The best thing (less aggravation) is to run a hard wire Cat5 cable to your router or USB to a computer if you are playing files from your computer. After owning the ... | |
| Best power cord for a preamp? Running a Pangea AC14SE on my preamp now. It's a quality budget cable. | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY The Decware website is interesting. They have a speaker that resembles the Ohm design and also have a speaker that resembles the Vandersteen 2 and 3 models?!??? | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? "One does not see what is in front of their eyes, one sees what is behind their eyes" ...or the more common truism "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" |
