| Is Spotify as good of quality as the HD-Tracks? I have Spotify Premium, and I'm very happy with the sound quality. I have downloaded some songs from HD Tracks, and there is a difference between the HD Tracks songs and the sound quality on Spotify, the HD Tracks stuff that I downloaded sounds am... | |
| PEACHTREE GRAND X-1 INTEGRATED DEFECT PROBLEMS The response delay with these forums is awful - seems like it can take up to a day for a response to post. There's another thread on here where it took 4 days for my post to show up. Maybe it's time to upgrade the Pentium 60? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I can't say I've ever heard any super-duper expensive speakers, but the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in an audio shop was a pair of Proac D15 connected to a tube amp that I don't even remember...that was heaven. The room was treated, place... | |
| PEACHTREE GRAND X-1 INTEGRATED DEFECT PROBLEMS I have two pairs, Proac D2 and Wilson Benesch ARC, that I mix and match between my living room and my office. Speaker swapping I do for fun, but I swap amps in my office out of necessity - during summer I move the ARC tube integrated into the livi... | |

| Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S? I still remember how excited I was to find a used pair of L570s buried under a shelf at a Boston pawn shop, covered in dust. This was back in '95 I think, before my income allowed me to spend more time with better equipment. I couldn't throw my mo... | |
| PEACHTREE GRAND X-1 INTEGRATED DEFECT PROBLEMS Actually if you go to the Peachtree website you can read about the existence of the large quantity (relatively speaking) of refurbs of the X-1. It's unrelated to a defect - it's a matter of a new feature being added after units had been released t... | |
| Speaker decision $3000-3500...help >>Class D amps have come a long way. Listen with your own ears, before you take someone's advice. THIS is good advice from Ricred1. Blindly ruling out Class D amps is myopic and dumb. Try one first. I made the mistake of giving too much cred... | |
| audiphile power cords Mitch4t asked if any component manufacturer has gotten on board with recommending aftermarket power cords...When shopping for an integrated amp last year ($4500 piece of equipment) I spent some time with a tech from the company discussing my speak... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Just think about what it means for someone to say that others shouldn't use a piece of equipment in their home system that they enjoy, and that improves the overall presentation to THEIR ears. I personally don't think people should put hot fudge o... | |
| Quad 22L2 >>Don't get any answers from companies using Chinese factories because they don't have any. Not always true. I needed help with a new base for a set of B&W PM1, which are built in China (something fell and damaged the original) and calle... | |
| What to use in polishing high quality wood speaker My dealer guy (place I bought my Proacs) told me to use Daddy Van's Unscented Beeswax Polish. It's not silicon based, no alcohol. | |
| Best Hi-end speakers? Paraneer and Davt nailed it - there is absolutely no way anybody can give you a recommendation that will be very helpful, because there's too much information missing from the equation, AND speakers are very much a personal taste. The best way to ... | |
