| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? If you perceive that it sounds better then it does. Having something from Mom definitely adds to the enjoyment. Trust your ears and as Hans says, enjoy the music. | |
| Moving to separates I went from a top of the line Denon AVR putting out 125 WPC at 8 ohms to Rotel separates. My Rotel RB1582 MKII amp puts out 200 WPC into 8 ohms and 350 into 4 ohms. The bigger Rotel amp was too big for my shelf setup. I noticed better bass cont... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? I just bought a meter. I tried 2 different meters and a couple of apps. The meters were more consistent. 50-70 dBA depending on the music. Some peaks into the low 70s. That’s from my listening chair. I sit about 3 meters away from my speaker... | |
| Sound level listening I was wondering about the same question so searched and found this old thread. Will add to it instead of starting a new thread. I just purchased a dB meter to check how loud it is at my listening position. I found that depending on the music mo... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) It’s a personal preference in my experience. I started with 45s (how old am I), then LPs, reel-to-reel, 8-track, cassettes, CDs and now I mostly stream. Still have a couple of cases of my favorite albums. My wife will get rid of them when I’m g... | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. Good question and Congrats on starting a new thread. I’ve started a couple and the responses have been great. Encourage others to do the same if they haven’t already. Positive and interesting threads are the lifeblood of online chats IMO. | |
| Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound Do you stream music? There is so much great music available online that you can checkout and see if it’s what you’re looking for. I use Qobuz which has a lot of jazz. | |

| Speaker or amplifer Demo the Hegel in your current system and you’ll know if it’s worth it. Then do the same changing put just the new speakers. You might decide you want one or the other, both or no upgrade. Trust your ears. | |
| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 I’ve had a great experience with my Rotel power amp putting out 200 WPC into 8 ohms and 350 into 4. Plenty of control for my Arendal 1723 towers that crave good clean power. Upgraded from a top of the line Denon putting out 140 WPC at 8 ohms in ... | |
| Sold Sold Sold Yeah I just had this conversation with someone local I bought a sub from. We’ve both had similar experiences. Some online are scammers. The others it’s hard to figure out. If I want to sell or buy something I’m straight and to the point. I do... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Grateful Dead - the Music Never Stopped. Songs from their upcoming 60th anniversary box set. | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype I have upgraded my DACs several times. I’ve listened to more than 10 in different systems. Not every one made a difference. Once I got up to about $IK they all sounded pretty good. I also found that it’s about more than the price. I have a $2... | |
| George Kaye RIP | |
| Comparing speakers at home questions I’ve done both. I find having both for an ideally a couple of weeks gives me time to listen and get comfortable with the sound and the decision. A more thorough audition than just A/B certain songs and Less buyers remorse. No better way to buy s... |
