| Audiophile virtues I still obsess about my sound from time to time but I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel by this simple fact:I no longer solely pull out one of my hundred or so reference LP to test my system because I have heard them so many time... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I believe every home is different power wise and I honestly don't think I would benefit from power conditioning. My house of stereo is on a completely separate power feed from the main house and I experience zero hum, no background noise or interf... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system BTW, The evo 100 integrated is $2,795. I now run the evo 100 preamp hooked to a parasound halo a21+ amp. Upgraded to NOS tubes and it does wonders in my house of stereo. | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system Tk21 is right, many of the amp recommendations here are disproportionate to your speakers price wise. I strongly recommend a tube integrated since you probably will eventually want to tone down the brightness of the raals. Look into prima luna and... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system @Op,I had the exact same Sierra towers with raal and ran them first with a marantz pm-15s2 and later on with a parasound halo a23. I thought I loved the sound of both until I got a pair of PBN speakers which opened my ears to the fact that the raa... | |
| Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging... Speaker placement charts should all be taken with a grain of salt, including Cardas. None of them can take in account what kind of acoustic treatment you got in your room or the type of furniture and any other artifacts you may have including anyt... | |
| How do you listen? In my house of stereo, 80db peak is as much volume as I need even for metal. Maghister is on to something. Volume needs to experience music fully are very room acoustics and system dependent. | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Standard CD system in my Lexus. Nothing great, better than nothing. | |
| To clean or not to clean... I clean EVERY VINYL, OLD OR NEW before ever playing it. | |
| HiFi vs MidFi @mozartfanI concur. Classical is not drastically improved by hi-fi as some other genres. I am not a jazz afficionado so I have to few records of the genre to really speak of that. BUT, I do love any kind of prog music, alt-prog, prog rock, prog me... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi Fidelity's definition is faithfulness to a cause by continued loyalty. No matter what level of fidelity you are at, if you do it for the music, you are on the right track. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Listened to The Hu tonight, vinyl, all 3 sides, amazing music and sound from this Mongolian metal band. | |
| How long do good speakers last? Recently bought a pair of used PBN Montana XPS speakers. From the serial #s, they look to be from 2006. They are near flawless in every way and I don't see why they wouldn't last for a few more decades. Of course all speakers are built to differen... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Well, it has now been 10 days since the Denafrips Ares II has been run continuously on full power as recommended. So time to give you my final impressions as to the Ares II / Marantz CD6005 combo. First off running the Marantz through the Denafrip... | |
