| I am so happy..... SNS expressed some of what I think about regarding this: Each of us hears differently and have different preferences. While I like bass, some of my younger friends go overboard, in my opinion. They think my systems lack Ooomp! that their systems... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Everything in my life is a compromise and “good enough”. I don’t have the house with the room to do justice to outrageously good equipment, and I don’t have the income to afford outrageous equipment. It doesn’t make sense to me to pay $10,000 for ... | |
| American Made Audio Products @dinov Nice resource to have and I saved the site for future reference. 👍🏻 | |
| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? Same here — no problems with my Freya+ | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Sorry to hear about Mr. Clapton. He isn’t one of my favorite artists . . his music is played so much all over and everyone lauds him like a God. His voice irks me somehow. I wish him all the best regardless. | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Never heard of Quested — I wonder what the chances are that anyone near me carries them? I would especially like to hear the Harbeth 40.2. But at $20,000 for a pair, there is next to no chance I would ever own them — not unless I win the Lotto! | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? My own tastes run more to mellow music that Harbeth’s are noted to excel at. I rock out in my car or via headphones while working out at the gym. Gotta give these things a listen. | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Thanks again for the responses. Obviously, there are differing opinions on the Harbeth “sound”. I see repeated comments that the pairing of Harbeth’s with the right electronics is key. Hegel in particular was recommended. I wonder how Harbeth’s wo... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. I’m rather old-fashioned in my ways, but one of the things that introduced me to different kinds of music is my library. They have an extensive collection of CD’s to take out for free. I just go and look through the bins of CD’s and come across ... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? @goofyfoot That is a good point — the cost of manufacture in England versus a low-wage country, and the impact that has on price. As for listening to Harbeth, the only local high-end audio retailer specializes in big projects, like wiring house... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. I don’t think I will be purchasing any Harbeth until after I have had a chance to hear them. I was just wondering what all the fuss is about — won’t know until I listen! | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? I don’t listen to $20,000 loudspeakers, so I don’t know what I am talking about. But as that never stopped me before . . . . When I gave away my pedestrian 30+ year old stereo system to get something better, that meant giving up two ‘80’s vintage... | |
| GO CHIEFS !! Go Bengals! I’m happy for the city of Cincinnati and all the long-suffering Bengals fans that have had to endure many lean years. Who Dey! | |
| It’s all a matter of degree I’d say I’m in the first camp. My idea is to balance the quality of components within the budget I set. To me, it makes less sense to go all-out on one piece of equipment and then play it through the rest of the system that is much more compromi... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? For years, I was totally into guitar rock, including concerts. Some were pretty good, but for the most part the bands sounded better on record or CD rather than live. The vocals were often drowned out by the instruments, decreasing the fun of hear... |
