| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I second, or third, the subwoofer suggestions. It's not just the bass, but the improvement in soundstage (especially depth) and imaging is quite noticeable. One is better than none, and two are better than one. | |
| New to analog I really appreciate the suggestions and well-thought out responses. Reading through the comments I've realized two things. First, getting into analog is even more complicated than I thought, but I was kind of half expecting it anyways. It certainl... | |
| New to analog Thorens, Technics, Nottingham, all sound like great suggestions. Keep 'em coming folks. I've also heard good things about VPI and Rega. I have been buying used equipment for a very long time with great success (knock on wood). But am I to assume t... | |
| Inexpensive CD Transport... I watched Steve's video on Leak. I still can't figure out if he liked it or not. Knowing his mannerisms from watching a ton of his videos, I don't think he is particularly enthusiastic about it. | |
| You Tube sound comparisons I for sure enjoy the process of buying audio equipment, whether used or new. In fact, I get sad once I've bought something. Lol! | |
| Sub matching...REL with Klipsh If you can afford t7i go for it. It will be more future proof if you move your system to a bigger room or upgrade speakers. | |
| Upgrade Hegel H300 to Luxman 590AXii or else What specific improvements are you looking for that you feel the Hegel H300is lacking? | |
| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range If you can buy used, a Luxman 590axii is an amazing value and within your price range. A few months ago, I auditioned a lot of amps. My top picks were Luxman 590axii and Hegel 390. If you’re going with tubes, Raven Osprey or a used Audio Research ... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. I'm beginning to agree with @georgehifi, although not the general tone which is somewhat offensive, that having no equipment between the speakers improves sound quality. Unfortunately, given the layout and other furniture in my room I don't have t... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? ^^ lol that was funny | |
| Parasound Hint 6 or separates? Many moons ago, I used to own A23 and P5 and compared it to the Halo integrated that my dealer was kind enough to let me borrow for a week. There was absolutely no difference in sound quality. It was only when I went up to A21 that the improvement... | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics lol @ triple blind test 😂😂 | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly @dougthebiker ... Haan Beekhuyzen has another video where he talks about the differences between the microRendu, ultraRendu and opticalRendu ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0A0l6keKTgHe feels that the opticalRendu is a step above the ultraRen... | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC Go to Doge website and lookup the Doge 10 page. See who is prominently featured on that page. Impartial reviews... yeah, right!! Like I said, nothing wrong with making it a full time profession, but it’s disingenious to pose as an impartial review... | |
| Help! Buy McIntosh MA252? About three to four months ago, I was looking to purchase an integrated amplifier and went on to audition several amps and speakers. I listened to both the Raven Audio Blackhawk (which is one level above Nighthawk) as well as the McIntosh MA252, a... |
