| Speakers or amp to be upgrade? "Speakers are the one and only thing that will make a major change for your system! Everything else is of secondary importance!"Completely untrue statement. A system can be shaped in many ways. It comes down to what you are hearing and what you ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? "but finding a quality balanced preamp under $4K is damn near impossible" TO build a really good, really good balanced preamp for $4K would be a challenge IMO. I would have to use customer transformers and they alone cost me about $800. Happy L... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers IMO it comers down to a few things. I have not had a cable "transform" the sound in my system. I do hear differences and have preferences though. But in my reality, the equipment I use typically has a dedicated overbuilt power supply so I think ... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense My opinion is very different than most. My buddy has all of the best streaming stuff and he has tried a bunch of stuff to get to where he is today. That being said, many on Audiogon mention price like $5000 preamps, $10K amps, etc. Price has no... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! It is only expensive if it does not do what it is supposed to do which is Sound Better than what you own. Yesterday a friend of mine called me to say he was comparing something and going back and forth to see what differences he heard. I remembe... | |
| Speaker design customer feedback You would have to build a speaker that has a price performance value. IMO you have to have a speaker that when someone compares it to what they already own they go WOW right away, not a back and forth thing where they go I think the bass was bett... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers I've never ever been moved though. For whatever reason, every ceramic speaker I've heard sounded cold, clinical, pure without power. Funny we purchased the Auccuton drivers and just plugged them into an old pair on Infinity Kappa speakers and then... | |
| single driver speakers I cannot answer for the speakers above but I have built field coil speakers that will take your breath away. The need a fast sub to integrate with them but you cannot find or hear any other speaker that has the speed, clarity and musicality of th... | |
| Which is better - Hi end CD transport or Music server into DAC? Since I build a "high end DAC" with a 35lbs power supply I have used both CD transport (too many to mention) and server into the DAC using HDMI cable as I felt with was the best sound. IMO only, the two offered excellent sound but different. The... | |
| Most musical, enjoyable affordable amplifier I will keep my Lafayette KT-550 amp. Sweetest amp I own or have heard.Happy Listening. | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... Do not get your hopes up. Plenty of gear cloned does not mean anything. Parts are not the same and I have seen a few clones that are made where the power supplies are just junk.But it is your bucks not mine. | |
| AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? As astewart8944 already stated, there is no correlation between price and sound. I have a Lafayette KT-550 power amp and it competes with new amps today and in some ways is much better. Just because an item has a high price tag also does not mean ... | |
| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? Yes. | |
