| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? Appreciate the creative replies! I'm not knocking working people, and all these guys are working it. Just trying to state the obvious. There is much more to audiophilia than piling a bunch of gear into the corner of an apartment, or a three seaso... | |
| Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III? The QX4 QB8/4 combo is really nice. I had this with Frey 2 cables all around in a Devore/Leben system. My family would experiment turning the QX4 off and we could all tell. Agree with Steakster on the transparency. | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Again??? Spoken like a simpleton....over and over What’s your real story here dude? LOL I think Atmosphere is a very talented amplifier designer. I don't know about his taste in speakers, although I'm sure he'd argue high efficiency for his ... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I’ve tried for slightly below market but never lowballed anyone. I also won’t inquire if someone has has a ridiculously high priced item. There’s one guy with an amp on here that’s been for sale for 3 years lol. | |
| Who to trust when buying vintage ss ? I sold and old McIntosh C28 and MC2125 because every time I hooked it up I asked myself why I was listening to this gear with a lack of focus and clarity. I loved the tone, so that saved it for a few rotations. When I do have that nostalgia, and ... | |
| Totem Mani-2 vs Devialet Phantoms Gold I try to have a little coffee before trying to find the keys :) Always been impressed with the bass from Totem. Is it their drivers or attention to driver/box dimensions? | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? Dad had a pair of ADS 910's (still has them) paired with a McIntosh 2125 and C28. Yamaha Turntable, Nakamichi Deck. He had lots of friends into audio too. I remember Stuarts Audio in Westfield NJ had talks and I would go run around with the other ... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? It depends on the design quality, but for me in general a larger speaker has made the performers and scale image larger. If that's what he means I agree. If he's using the term to mean "in the room presence" as in singer in the room, which can be ... | |
| Stupid class A question More like what it draws in heat. Probably 250-watt light bulb or so. Most of the heat in class A is wasted but worth it to me. | |
| Is there a list of full-range speakers (20-20kHz) somewhere on the internet? IME full range speakers that sound good start at around $8K. That's being generous. What's your budget? | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated Hard to know. I had a pair of Cornwalls and preferred my Coda CSIB to the Leben CS600. Never would have thought that if I didn't have them both in my living room. I have a 550AXII it's a great amp but haven't heard it with the CW4's. Should be fu... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @Mahgister what if you are like tubebuffer and have a $400k system in your tool shed? Classy but not hifi? | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? It takes exposure to "quality" "properly set up" systems to be able to build a point of reference. If someone doesn't have the practice or trained ear it kind of becomes a series of judgements on top of marketing hype (or always is). After exper... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k I'll toss in the usual Verity Audio plug. Nice pair for sale on the Mart right now. | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? I've never heard the Cary of the Circle Labs amps so it wouldn't be right to answer, just saying they do better with more power behind them, especially if you want scale or great imaging when you start to push higher volumes especially with tubes ... |
