| Dual mono integrated amps This FAD of putting 2 behemoths on the floor between speakers is just plain stupid. It refelects the spudity of the owners. Pretty strong statement there Mr. Wolfie62. Regards, barts | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? +1 @facten You nailed it. As my subscription runs out (I have maybe 2 or 3 issues left) I find that I blow through it, Stereophile, in about an hour and then recycle. Seems like such a waste. Regards, barts | |
| need amp recommendations for more separation of instruments @ahuvia Take the "flute getting lost" recording to the dealer where you heard your speakers and have them play it on their $100k system. Listen carefully. If it is only marginally better then it is the recording. In that case have the dealer ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @sns Thanks for the sharing all of the information you have accumulated. My system is digital only and I will be taking your advice. Fortunately while my music room was torn apart down to the studs and being rewired I ran coax cable as well as... | |
| diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose? REW? | |
| tweaking audio systems with modifications. I tried to look up maghister to check out his system again and his username comes up as "not found". ???? Any ideas? Regards, barts | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways @hilde45 FL - Focused listening -- sitting at focal point, concentrating on music and/or acoustic qualities. I think your first category is actually two and should be split into FLE (focused listening equipment) and FLM (focus listening music... | |
| Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC My Bryston BDA-3 DAC has ten inputs, selectable buttons on the front panel or the remote. Has balanced and RCA outputs. Stereophile Class A (not that that means a thing!). Not sure how much you're looking to spend...the BDA is $4k. Regards, ba... | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance @chocaholic Thanks. I married a good one also. Music lover and doesn't give a hoot about $$ spent on audio. In fact, she hears things and complains to me "that is not right!". Regards, barts | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance @chocaholic Thanks...Mississippi is quite a drive for me, so that is out, but I am slightly confused due to you saying the 717 "it's in transit as I type this". Does this gentleman sometimes ship and sometimes not? Regards, barts | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance @chocaholic I have a Sansui AU-20000 that will not come out of protection mode. I've been told it is essentially a boat anchor. Used it for many years and really liked it, put it in a closet when the ARC amps appeared out of nowhere (wink). W... | |
| Favourite Guitarists So many names to find on Qobuz! Billy Strings Jorma Kaukonen SRV Don't think there is a best...just different. Enjoy the music. Regards, barts | |
| Heist/ crime songs White Wedding - Billy Idol Casey Jones - Grateful Dead | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! +1 @ronboco Agree completely. I would say (and do believe) that DIFFERENCES can be heard, but to ascribe a value to those said differences is sheer folly. Happy New Year to whole the damn gang! Regards, barts | |
| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home @hilde45 My greatest concern with a home demo is perception. You obviously really like these speakers and I submit that they would have to sound pretty bad in your space for you to return them. As many have stated above, pick up late Saturday ... |
