| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming A cutting lathe and a turntable serve entirely different masters. Kind of like the speaker designers that claim that using the same wood on their speakers as were used on the instruments is a good idea. Also if mass production were the final arbit... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming Some people have a significant amount of knowledge about high end D.D. turntables. The table you suggested is NOT a high end table. I fact if you need to buy a commercial version of the Technics table that was the predecessor to their current 20K ... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming You should be able to get analog to sound better than streaming very easily. I think that a modest investment in analog pays much bigger dividends than the same investment in digital. Do not buy an inexpensive direct drive turntable rather go with... | |
| Sota or Technics If I had to choose between these t.t.s I would go with the SOTA. In fact I would avoid the Technics. However my first choice would another brand. | |
| Help me tame my out of control bass You are dealing with a number of immutable issues as things stand. The dimensions of your room and the actual output of your speakers. I think you can change your speakers, add mass to your room or add helmholtz resonators. If you are able to add ... | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else Another vote for Atma-sphere. I would also think that the problem lies more with the speaker than the electronics. I owned a XA 30.8 for a short time and could never warm to the sound. Perhaps it was attempting to serve too many masters and was go... | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp I love it when a member says that something is the best with no competition as if they have heard every product available. | |
| AC outlets Cruze First Maestro. Cheaper than the Synergistic Research and I think a better outlet. | |
| Which speakers, if any, combine the strengths of Harbeth and ProAc ? Rockport similar to either of these? Not in my experience. In fact if Harbeth dreams it has anything in common with Rockport, it would need to wake up and apologize. ProAc to a lesser degree but I simply think we are talking about speakers on an e... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? All but 1 of the Thiel speakers I have heard. Wilson with the older tweeter. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? The question is what would you pay if you made as many of these treatments yourself as is possible. Without question most enthusiasts dont spend what they should on their room.For this amount of money I would take my room down to studs and rebuild... | |
| Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner Well you will never experienced listening fatigue with Harbeths but you also may get tired of the homogenization of the sound. Dont know Sonner so would suggest Vandersteens over Harbeth. Harbeth speaker to my ears are very colored and not in the ... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! I totally disagree with the entire premise of the OP. System neutrality is critical. To chase a system that makes poor recordings sound good is a serious mistake I think. A system should faithfully reproduce what it is fed. | |
| Dedicated power Second the suggestion for a Torus or similar transformer. Expensive but the best solution whose installation makes some of these other concerns moot. | |
| Should Box speakers be banned from the marketplace... I hate the word tune and voice as they relate to our hobby. These words have no place in any serious audio discussion. |
