| Which amplifier should i buy Sorry, no input, can't relate...for 20k I can almost buy a new compact pick up truck (about 24-26k)😳And I thought spending 6k on my speakers was expensive...what do I know...they sound good to me. | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? None, zero, nada!! There is no difference. A streamer does one thing, it "streams" a signal from ethernet or wifi....that is it. The dac is what takes that signal, turning digital to analog "digital-to-analog-converter". A freakin’ $159 Grace digi... | |
| Tube Dealers 2021 Upscale audio and the tube store, and of course Ebay. Bought some very nice tubes off Ebay over the years. | |
| Is louder better? Low levels late night with big A$$ Tannoy concentric drivers driven by a class A Sugden being fed from a tubed Tavish Design phono preamp and Jensen MC 2rr SUT receiving a signal from a Hana EL mc with Alnico magnets on the end of a Pro-ject 9 inc... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy I’m using custom made atacama stands for my tannoy eatons...the only reason I have spikes installed on the bottom of the stands is to puncture the carpet to make contact with the concrete slab below. The stands are rock steady and filled with atab... | |
| I just finished my new listening room... Are the Tektons behind the curtain? I don't see them.... | |
| Am I crazy? Definitely! Why don’t you just buy Tannoys and be done?...Tannoys were used to monitor many great rock and roll recordings. Heck, even Pete Townsend owns Tannoy. It will be your last speaker.. | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? Most people Cannot hear the difference between 16/44 and so called hi-res. CD’s are good enough. Same with 4k and 1080p....there is not much of a difference really, certainly not enough to spend way more money for a 4k movie. Still using my musica... | |
| Looking for my "last" CD transport Buy a Marantz hd cd1. It is a great cd player/transport. No need to spend more. It also has a very good headphone amp built in. You will have to settle for used as it is discontinued. It is also compact and looks terrific, built in Japan. | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well Why would it not age well? If you bought a cd player 10 years ago of good quality, it also contains a dac inside. If it still works, then what is the issue? Honestly, the only dac you need is the musical fidelity v90 dac. $299 and worth every penn... | |
| Dallas or Texas-based audio companies I'll second Galen Carol audio, bought many things from him and got great deals. | |
| Magnetic levitation feet I believe the feet on the xtension 9 pro-ject turntable work in the same way, two opposing magnets. | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Measurements do not indicate how something will sound in a real world situation, room, associated electronics. There are far too many variables. Just buy what sounds good to you and be happy. No one on here will be listening to it, only you. | |
| Gripped By Upgrade Fever Its no wonder you want to get rid of them after only two months, they are fatiguing to listen to after long periods. You need a Wharfedale or Tannoy speaker. Both are fantastic speakers, although once you hear the Tannoy dual concentric driver you... | |
| Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...? Audioquest type 4 and be done with it. I would have them custom made at Audio Advisor. You can pick from any connector you want for both amp and speaker end and they will perform a high quality termination for you using silver solder. There is a d... |
