| Non-Audiophile Audiophile question! Nobody thought of open back headphones? Listening to speakers in back of you seems, well, backwards. | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it Look at the BelCanto E.stream at about $2000. Small but hefty, outplayed Innuous Pulse at $3800, No DAC. Small difference to CD's. | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? I have had Maggies for over 25 years. Lots of tinkering with placement and room interactions. For me, the best way to fix what I call a "hissy top end" was to put a sound absorbing panel directly behind the speaker more toward the top of the spe... | |
| colibrie "Long haired country boy" by Charlie Daniels needs to be played. | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? I love line source speakers. Keep in mind you must have a room they will work well with. Expansive sound means a larger room. | |
| Clipping with Separates with change of Power Conditioner[?] @carlsbad2 +1. I get no distortion or haze from high quality wall receptacle. No conditioner in my future. | |
| Help needed with new integrated amp. @willywonka I goofed, but it was only my 3rd mistake this year. HAHA. It is worth it to get Maggies with the true ribbon tweeter. I have the 3.7's. Maybe more important to get one that is right for the size room you have. | |

| Time For a CD Player Upgrade I had the Hegel Mohican and I would guess the Viking has the Hegel house sound as well. It is quite articulate with CD's less than 25 yrs old. It will not sugarcoat your older ones, they will sound the same. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma bdp has it right. Less sensitive speakers need a little more volume to reach their potential. Wilsons Magnepans etc. | |
| When I listen to my system....... Guys, we a different brains. We put different values on different things. I have a get-together once a month with about 8-10 friends at anybodys house. Some guys have mediocre stereos at best. Bose, 70's receivers etc. One out of ten is interes... | |
| Need suggestions on preamp I have owned Adcom amps and preamps. They were my first separates. I recommend buying better as soon as you can afford it. | |
| McIntosh MC312 vs. ARC Reference 150 I admit I haven't listened to any Mac equipment lately but the older amps did have a darker presentation than ARC. | |
| JD Souther has passed away John Mayall had a song "All of my Heroes". Good to hear that now. | |
