| Rega Apollo I have the original Apollo not the Apollo-R. I have liked the Apollo very much, mostly the buffer which checks the signal to correct potential errors on the CD. The Rega has a digital out which gives the user the ability to upgrade to the continuo... | |
| Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile? My grandfather pieced together a synthesizer that worked with tubes and he waved his hand over it to change sounds. He kept tubes, wires, capacitors, diodes, flux, soldering irons and many interesting things in two large flat metal boxes under the... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Interesting comments from all. I see that a carefully chosen low frequency subwoofer can be potentially helpful. I have some Vandersteen speakers and I could supplement them with Vandersteen sub(s) as an experiment to see if I am missing something... | |
| I wan't the best in this price range You stated you wanted the best in a price range but did not state the range. That notwithstanding, the best is very subjective based on many, many factors. It is highly unlikely that you will get a consensus here. The first answer here is the most... | |
| Full range vs monitors with sub I think full range speakers work better if you have the room and acoustics. My take is predicated on picking from a manufacturer/engineer and designer brand that can integrate the subwoofer or low freq driver into the overall design well. Think Va... | |
| What in your mind represents real technological advancement. +1 markalarsonI would add that the 5g networks and ever increasing bandwidth/ data transfer of digital information will allow easy streaming of large volumes of information/data. MQA gets around this a bit, but once this happens full uncompressed ... | |
| What in your mind represents real technological advancement. Modern hearing aids combined with testing and the ability to help 5-15% of the human population with hearing deficiency. Of course, most audiophiles here might not want to admit they have this dreaded physical impairment. | |
| Tidal digital hi-fi vs records These kind of comparisons seem pointless and tiring to me. I think people play the audio medium or media they like...and enjoy. The more ways to play audio, the better. Give me a transistor radio, give me headphones, give me an IPod, give me a str... | |

| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash HemoncdocHad the same problem with a 55 inch Samsung HDTV. Got the extended warranty with the store and after many months of problems and many attempted repairs the extended warranty company stated they would no longer attempt to fix it and give m... | |
| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash The expression is “I couldn’t care less”. The way you are using it means roughly that the manufacturers care a lot and could care less, but don’t. I get your point though and I lost a lot of money to a smaller audio outfit that made crappy gear, a... | |
| Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades I think some sales people think they have better ears than all the lesser people in the audio world, the consumers. If I wanted to listen to Legacy speakers, and I have, I would visit a dealer and listen to them. If I wanted to listen to Vanderste... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Go Bo Go. Nobody here know trufi like Bo. You are all inferior mortals with little mouse ears... admit it. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Well, I came upon a child of GodHe was walking along the roadAnd I asked him, "tell me, where are you going?”This he told meSaid, "I’m going down to Yasgur’s FarmGonna join in a rock and roll bandGot to get back to the landAnd set my soul free”We... | |
| Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades Speakers are like ice cream. So many flavors to pick from and ya know something.. they ALL taste good. I never get the same flavor twice in a row and really can’t tell you which one is best. Additionally, as pointed out by a couple posters the OP,... |
