| have you ever bought stereo without listening first I have purchased everything unheard. I used to rely on specs and now, as millercarbon stated, I rely on sound impressions from multiple sources, if they are available. I would love to have a pair of Tyler Acoustics Halo speakers, but there isn’t e... | |
| The Forest for the Trees @ rvpianoEven though I’ve been happy for a few months now, I just saw a pair of Revel Performa F208s that are making me twitchy. It’s still a hobby...lol. I think it may be the audio nervosa that geoffkait mentioned above...and it ain’t asymptomat... | |
| Soundstage Width and Depth @erik_squires My listening area is my living room and I had to balance aesthetics with functionality when it comes to room treatments. They have been my best investment to date. GIK was great to work with and my sound stage, imaging and tonality ... | |
| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post You might want to try the new Hegel H390 ( 250 wpc @ $6k) Same electronics as the H590 (300 wpc @ $15k). Many reviews favorably compare these integrated amps to reference separates. I have the H390 and I want to be buried with it. | |
| Soundstage Width and Depth - can I ask about your system? What pre-amp and amp and speakers and source are you using? I have a relatively modest system.Hegel H390 integrated ampCambridge Audio Azur 651C CDKLH Kendall speakersGIK room treatmentsI have tried to run digital fr... | |

| The Forest for the Trees Millercarbon, I read a post on here today from yesterday I believe, that had you describing your experience listening to Run Like Hell. It’s those experiences that make this hobby worth it. | |
| How good are $2 DACs? Interesting read. I read an article a few months ago about a blind test on streaming services at different levels of quality. Professional studio engineers were assembled since it was assumed their job was listening to music and determining its qu... | |

| When Did Your System Disappear? Fixing my room was when my system disappeared. Thanks to GIK Acoustics! | |
| What do you think of Q-sound recordings? @millercarbon I agree, but I want to see if others feel the same way. I have recordings that were very well recorded with very wide and deep sound stages that don’t use this technology. There was a very good engineer at the board. I personally li... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? The trouble with stereo equipment reviews is that they are not blind reviews. The reviewer knows the brand and price before they sit down to listen. I would like to see a blind review from one of the Stereophile reviewers of several amps, speakers... | |
| The Orb......Metallic Spheres @tuberist I had not tried Shpongle until now. I listened to a couple of cuts on Youtube. Very similar style to The Orb. Thanks for mentioning them! | |
| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions. I will definitely refer to the above postings when this pandemic eases a bit and we can all travel freely again. I do want to hear what's out there!Stay healthy! |
