| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? Headphones can have bass slam, but it doesn't compare to the sound quality or sensory impact of sound waves interacting with your entire body.My high end headphones and headphone amp don't come close to producing the slam and impact of my Legacy A... | |
| Purchase advice: Old turntable vs. new.... Vintage direct drives can sound really nice. I have a Realistic LAB 440 and just picked up a JVC QL-Y66F, which is a pretty large table. From what I've read, neither are in the same league as the GT-2000, but I can give a comparison of the QL-... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana I'm listening to Mercury Rev's Bobbie Gentry's the Delta Sweete Revisited on Tidal this morning through headphones and it sounds really nice. | |

| Why the facination with integrated amps? I'm not sure if this has been touched on, but there's no reason you can't combine separates with your integrated. I started out with a Peachtree Nova 300 in my computer room which includes a great DAC, phono stage, and headphone amp. You can als... | |

| Which atmos reciever/preamp / integrated has the best room correction built in and atmos? I'm not sure how helpful this is as I have not heard an Anthem surround sound processor.I recently replaced my Marantz AV8801 processor (top of the Marantz line at the time) with the AV7704 (second tier). To my ears, the AV7704 sounds as good as ... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? It's nice to have options. I have separates in my main system. I have more space and am more concerned about sound quality in the main system. I have an integrated in my home office (Audio Research VSi55). I have a tuner, turntable, and DAC co... | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player I would expect the MCD600 to sound different/better than the Oppo at its price point, but haven't heard one. A CD player includes a DAC, a transport does not and requires an external DAC. | |
| Network cabling for BlueSounds' Node 2i Network server I used Cat 6A to connect my wireless repeater to my Node 2. Probably overkill. I used el cheapo Monoprice cable. It's very inexpensive and seems to be well built. I probably should have used megabucks audiophile Ethernet cable, but it's for a ... | |
| Lyle Lovett & John Hiatt, on tour I saw them last Friday here in Olympia, great show! They seemed very relaxed and like they were having a lot of fun. The stage banter added to the performance in my opinion and both were in fine form from a singing and playing perspective. | |
| Intervention... I need help... I know you're serious about your request for help, but you're probably the only one that has heard all those pieces. Which ones sound best to you, and what combinations sound best to you? Which pieces fit best in the space you have? I don't hav... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dire Straits self-titled - Back to Black 180 gram. Sounded heavenly! | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player No experience with the Mac, so I can't say if that specific piece will be "better". I have my Oppo 203 playing through my Auralic Vega and it sounds very good, but my Marantz KI-Pearl sounds much better and it plays SACD. If you want to take a s... | |
