| warmest speaker cables you've heard? You want cables that are neutral. If you have overly bright speakers then maybe buy a warmer sounding speaker such as a British made speaker, wharfedale, tannoy, spendor, harbeth, etc.. | |
| British Integrated Amps Sugden....particularly the Signature A21se. Paired with some Tannoys... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? My class A sugden A21se @ only 30 watts into 8 ohms/ 40 into 4 ohms sounds fantastic to my ears....simply pure, warm, effortless, detailed, full bodied, and natural sound. It has a nice wallop when needed...class D sounds much too dry to my ears..... | |
| Dolby Atmos - is it for Audiophiles? Its for movies....two channel is two channel and should be left that way. | |
| What are some good sources for buying new LPs and CDs Ebay and discogs....Amazon is very limiting and most "new" records are awful. Better off finding mint or sealed older pressings. | |

| Blindfold Speaker testing And once you get any of the 5 speakers home, it will sound different in your room. The test is pointless. The true test is how the speaker will sound in your own room. | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Surprised no one mentions a Border Patrol. The lowest tier model is @ $1075. It's an R2R dac based on a Philips chip with either USB or coax @ the price. I own one and it sounds great. | |
| SLOT LOADING CD MECHANISMS - DO THE DAMAGE CD'S? Slot loading cd players in themselves do not harm a cd. It is the dirt present on either the cd surface and/or the periferal lips located on the cd slot. If all is clean, then no scratches. I’ve not seen any harm caused to my cd’s while using the ... | |
| If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review No, no way am I adding any form of a subwoofer to my two channel hifi. Buy speakers that actually do bass, and avoid having to compensate with a sub. No better way to ruin the tonality, timbre,, and incentric characteristics of a particular speake... | |
| New Topping D90SE DAC First of all, pay no attention to Audioscience review, the guy seldom likes anything...measurements mean crap. Second of all, buy the Border Patrol dac R2R. It measures poorly, according to stereophile’s John Atkinson. However, according to Herb R... | |
| Townshend Seismic Podiums Personally, I think the pods are crazy and a total waste of money. The speakers should be mounted on quality heavy speaker stands filled with shot or atabites and spiked to a solid concrete slab floor. Blue tac should be added between stand and sp... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I have some pretty nice digital stuff, Marantz hd cd-1, Marantz sa8005, audiolab cdt6000, v90 dac, border patrol dac, grace digital streamer, etc. I like the convenience of it all...however, I have way more vinyl and cassettes than anything digita... | |
| Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays?? Maybe not as good as R2R, but I regularly still use my two Aiwa 3 head cassette decks. I use them to listen to my many pre recorded cassettes, as well as taping from Fm radio or from lp's. I use them not only because they sound great, but because ... | |
| Average Price Spent for Speakers I own speakers from $449 to $5500. I like them all. Walnut and rosewood appeal to me. |
