| Architectural Digest finally shows audio gear! Great post. I know from experience in owning the O/93 that when people place speakers in this way they are sacrificing a good portion of the performance they are paying for. Then I walk in to my house after work to find my wife dancing and singing... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I think it’s important to discover the kind of presentation you are looking for. In my experience wide baffle speakers throw a very different presentation than narrow tower style speakers. Obviously horns give a different presentation than others ... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer I tried to get him to sell me one of these two Rel S/3's 4 years ago and he wouldn't break up the pair. I've always wondered what the heck was going on to have them years later, but maybe he does, maybe not. The mystery is getting free advertisin... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer Most of the threads you have started are complaining about others. This may be legit, but maybe your style of communication is challenging for some? Just a thought, but I also know that dealers are busy and needing to sort real buyers from tire ki... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? @ Nickatnoon61, are you tube or solid state vegan, anti satanic, possibly conservative hockey player audiophile? Great 1st post btw. Another thread on track! | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? I've found speakers > amps > source > isolation > cables.. Within all this the poorest performing link will place limitations on the best. For example, a great interconnect will get murdered going through poor speaker cables. Trying t... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer The defense to the bait and switch is always a killer sob story. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Easy to drive 8 ohm impedance and 95 db sensitivity is a very desirable combination. @charles1dad re Fyne- Can you point to the easy to drive 8 Ohm impedance? I can’t find any curve info except for the 501, which says 3 to 30 ohm with nominal 8... | |
| When to Amp it Up? Did you hear the speakers prior to purchasing them? Just asking because it can be difficult to assess a system without an anchor component that you have had some time with. For instance maybe it's not the amp but the speaker... The current crop ... | |
| Santa didnt bring me a $20k linestage Santa was last seen in a swimming pool with tubebuffer's wife. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses After 3 days and a swap back to the old fuse, I agree, something there. Better musical flow, image is cleaner, I feel like the overall sound is more satisfying. | |
| OK-- I think I get it, now... Nice. That magic can be a new cable or a different tube. You might choose to document your changes mentally or in notes somewhere. You don’t want to chase away the magic you have for the magic you don’t. Enjoy! | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses First impression very positive. Used Under African Skies by Paul Simon to A/B. No contest against the stock fuse in my tube integrated. I don’t have any experience with prior versions of fuses or other brands. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. I have a Roon Nucleus powered by Mojo Audio Illuminati power supply. Very happy with it. I stream via Tidal and Qobuz. | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? Good definitions. I would add that when speakers have detail and refinement they can be played louder than you would normally find acceptable, as long as the room doesn't present challenges. |
