| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. I would go bonkers if I had only one album to listen to. Anybody watch "Groundhog day" where the clock/radio played "I got you babe"every day? Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| What am I missing? I have to give a slight edge to modern CD's over streaming CD quality files. 24/96 is usually a step up, and anything higher rez is overdone, IMO. Most of my older CD's [pre 2000] are OK in the car, but a no-go in my system. | |
| Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers You want a minimum of 150 watts to sound decent. More is better. Like 250. | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point Klipsch is big on volume and sensitivity, more so than a beautiful, accurate sound. Hard for me to recommend a specific brand, there are so many to choose from and too many variables such as room size and amplifier power. But it sure helps to go... | |
| To upgrade, or not to upgrade, that is the question I have a Bel Canto E1 streamer running into Hegel H360 integrated, Maggie 3.7's and Velodyne sub DD12. I am pretty happy the with the SQ, just wondering if screwing around with internet connections would be worth looking into. I see once ag... | |
| The big Gensis are back, but what about Arion? Whichever you choose, Linestage speakers rule, as long as you have the space to let them breathe .Some of the best I heard at Axpona were linestages. They beat some of the megabuck speakers I heard. | |
| Open Baffle Experience #carlsbad. I too was intrigued be the EP features [no box to distort sound]. So at a show I heard them set up in a hotel room. Hmmm. Maybe they were not set up properly, but I was not impressed at all. The sound coming out of the front was OK ... | |
| Dedicated Electrical Use a 20 amp breaker fuse and put nothing else on that line, Hopefully you have an unused slot in the breaker box..... | |
| I keep being reminded of how much power cords mater @millercarbon I see a company offering "upgrade DC power supply wall warts". Would these also make a difference on a turntable or phonostage? | |
| Looking for subwoofer recommendations I recommend a sealed box design. You get better control over the cone [surround] for quicker response and accuracy. | |
| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? AD has passed on, God bless him. MF has retired. | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? Have any of you ever used "stereobuyers"? Full page ad in Stereophile. I am trying to sell My Vincent hybrid 150 Watt integrated which retailed for $2000 when I bought it. I was expecting $800 to $1000 for it as it is in Primo condition. They ... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Some close-miked recordings can fool you into thinking there are musicians in the room. Think Nils Lofgren's Acoustic Live. Or others like that. | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question The right way would be to couple, then uncouple. | |
| Aurender N20 Someone will always say you could have something just as good for less money. You should be happy with the aurender. They have probably sold thousands of these and it is rated very high. Plus there are thousands that love them! |
