Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... To be honest, I had a Stratos, a Tempest and a Candela. They were terrible audio components. I had spurious noise, hum and other low level noise. Klaus was very, very slow in communication. It took over a year and he bought the gear back from me a... | |
Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. I had an SVS subwoofer many years ago that needed service. SVS reps just blew me off, stated I needed to buy another sub. They would not look at my sub, and I bought it from them. That really turned me off to SVS. YMMV. | |
New CDP or standalone DAC...? If you have a HDD and a computer with a disc drive you could rip your CDs to a lossless format file. Get a Bluesound Node 2 and with that device you can access all your ripped files and stream hi-rez files like a MQA. You would have a very large l... | |
Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. Look look for used Wilson Audio Duette speakers. Truly exceptional and tight bass. | |
Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? +2 randyhat. I am not sure I understand the analog vs. digital debate. I guess I could if I had to pick one or the other... but I don’t. I mean I can purchase a turntable, tonearm, cartridge, needle and phono preamp AND I can aquire a DAC, streame... | |
PERSONAL GEAR LIST; Your opinion on next best upgrade? Bad, I would like to share another tidbit of info FWIW. I went searching for speakers within 90 miles of my home. I wanted to LISTEN and compare myself. I was advised by a couple of good dealers to bring my own music, to include some music I know ... | |
PERSONAL GEAR LIST; Your opinion on next best upgrade? I think you could get better sounding speakers, not knocking NHT but many, many very good speakers out there...could improve your system. | |
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Glad to hear you found speakers you like. | |
Need feedback on loudspeakers I had mentioned the Magnepan 3.7i and that is a great speaker, but I will add the Vandersteen Treo. Both are truly musical and wonderfully warm but laid back. | |
Oppo Vs Esoteric Sometimes, I think, we succumb to the hype of a product. You may have committed to the Oppo before this post was written and want it to compete with a much more refined system and player ....but still wanted it. I guess, in all fairness, I am not ... | |
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) If I were looking at speakers at the $15k price point, I could make calls to dealers to make appts and listen within a reasonable driving distance. Also Audio shows can be fun, and one can listen to many (not all?) speaker brands. That bit of rese... | |
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) As noted here, one has to "go out" and listen to as many speakers as possible. All speakers introduce coloration to the sound, so it is vital to listen and find out what YOU like in terms of sound and which brand YOU favor. Hype about a speaker or... | |
Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation I have empathy for your situation. I feel many people are victims of scams, lying sales people with nothing but financial gain or theft in mind. Even moreso we all can be led by hype, we can be led to believe what we are susceptable to believe. I ... | |
What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience Take a look at the Bluesound products. They can stream Tidal MQA files. Not starting a war here, some think the sound is tremendous and really hi-res, some hate MQA. But if you really like your system, cannot afford something like the Vandy Quatro... | |
Planar ribbon speaker and Tubes Not working Please help! I had a transformer fail on a tube amp from driving MMGs. At least I suspect that is was the imp load. I would be careful you do not harm your amp! |
