| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Somehow I cannot believe the majority of musicians really care about the brand of power cord they are using just as the masses of people out there do not care also. With that said audiophiles come from all professional ranks and therefore why not ... | |
| Verastarr One problem of not purchasing through a reputable audio shop is not having a relationship with a person who will interface between you, your issue and the manufacturer. I purchased a cable through the shop I purchase most of my equipment through a... | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. What I always find interesting is people who spend a lot of money on their analog system; turntable, arm, cartridge and phono stage and then spend a bare minimum on setting up a digital system and talk about how analogue sounds so much better than... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! I will bet it sounds like a "live concert" that you could listen to "all day and night long" without fatigue! (just thinking back to an earlier post). | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) If you are after just a streamer then look into what Auralic has to offer. I believe the Aries G2.1 is one of their top tier offerings. If you were interested in possibly abandoning your DAC then I suggest looking into on of the Bricasti units. | |
| What is it I'm failing to grasp? Trying to explain to someone else what one of your senses; sounds, smells, tastes, feels like, is very difficult. That is one reason most strange foods all are explained as "tastes like chicken". Most people have tasted chicken so when you say tha... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey It was about 1960 and my grandfather came over the house and gave me a transistor radio. I was in elementary school. Every night from that moment onward I went to bed listening to music on that little radio. That is when my love of music and this ... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) As mentioned you should decide what type of speaker design your ears and heart love and then begin to narrow that design field down by really focusing on that style speaker. Two other considerations you should be thinking of; tubes or solid state ... | |
| Words and Sound Why hide behind a smoke screen? Just be out front and give your opinion about how you feel towards the sound of these various speakers. Let me guess which ones you like... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? It seems that most people set up as the standard to compare their systems to; "sounds like live music or an instrument they are familiar with. That certainty is a noble aspiration, but in my opinion impossible to meet. An audio system is a series ... | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD For the music you listen to my vote would be Magico. Someone up stream mentioned KEF blades, another good choice. SF would be wonderful if you were a classical / Jazz person but your taste in music lends itself better to Magico, KEF and Wilson. | |
| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase The Bryston DAC I have sounds great and I believe the CD player uses the same chips so that, certainly from my experience with their DAC, would be a great choice. I however agree that a transport and a separate DAC would give great flexibility and... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? In my opinion the type of upgrading you are proposing makes sense for someone who is interested in doing the work themselves (DIY) as a learning experience along with hopefully improving the sound knowing that these changes may or may not improve ... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? In my opinion this is a shifting % which is dependent on a few items. Budget, difficult speakers to drive and speakers that are extremely detailed. These items in my opinion will loosely dictate where the percentages of money should go assuming yo... | |
| B&W 800 D4's, Room size, & general Q's I believe the bigger issue is the room is close to a square (17x18). Can you increase the 18 dimension or is it too late? |
