| Audiophilism is a hobby I only enjoy my rig if I love the music being played. I mostly stream Qobuz and every week I cruise the new selections. I try new artists I haven't even heard of and new hi-rez selections that I know. Hit or miss on the unknowns, maybe one in t... | |
| Music first or sound first? @Larsman +1. Looking at the other side, what good is a great stereo if you don't play music that you like? | |
| Listening position/speaker position I also had a friend who is in the stereo retail business come by to listen to my system [Maggie 3.7's, Hegel int.] After 10 minutes he said 'try this for a while'' and moved the speakers another 20 inches apart. I left them there for a week and ... | |
| Think I ruined stylus Next time, just put one of Qobuz's playlists on. Lasts hours. | |
| Suggestions for power amps If you haven't tried adding a sub, I would recommend it. A good one should expand the soundstage and fill the room with sound. | |
| Mcintosh customer support They are not the only ones doing this. My BelCanto streamer is 4 yrs old and one year ago it stopped playing 24/192 files. So my answer from them was that I had to send it in and they would update it. It has a service USB but nope. | |
| T+A PA 3100 HV owners question Everybody seems to get different results from upgraded power cables. What I noticed is most of the changes come in the higher frequencies. Much more open and transparent on the treble side, not so much difference elsewhere. | |
| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... Never liked seeing a long running business go down. I ran my family business which started in 1913 until retirement in 2019. Passed it on to the next generation successfully on hope it works out for them. By the way, my first speakers were from... | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? I went to Axpona a couple years ago. The best sounding speakers there had minimal room interaction. Hotel rooms are too small for most speakers. | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! I have read an editors comment saying if he didn't like or wouldn't recommend it, they wouldn't print the review. [For whatever that is worth]. | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? 1975 Kenwood, 45 wpc, wood veneer sides. Great tuner. Used it 20 years. My son has it now. | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp Maybe it only looked like it was in "pristine" condition. | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? It's both. Some pieces hardly need break in time. Meaning I can't tell it sounds better after 100 or more hours. But, I have some interconnects that sounded horrible for about 200 hours and then BOOM! Everything changed in one day. | |
| Streamer only @gkelly. +2. Someone running Levinson electronics should buy something better grade. Lumin, Innuous or comparable or you will be upgrading soon. | |
| Sota Sapphire and Isolation? Thorens makes an isolation pad made with layers of some kind of foam. Check it out, it's only a couple hundred bucks. |
