| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... #psyop, have you seen a show "Suits"? One of the lawyers has an office with a wall of LP's, McIntosh amp, turntable, etc. It's all decoration. Never gets played. Here's your sign. | |
| How long should speaker cables be? Start with 12 feet. Cut off one foot at a time until they are just right. | |
| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? I have one great rig [I think] in one dedicated room and do not need anything else beside a tabletop Echo at all. It makes it special to me. Just sayin. | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? I see Joe Cocker mentioned and I think of A Little Help from my Friends. Better than the Beatles? Possibly. | |
| MoFi controversy jasonbourne is exactly like my brother. Why would you spend hundreds or thousands for a cable when this $12 cable already sounds good? | |
| Regular interconnect or digital? Icherepkai, I had to compare different cables and the most revealing sounds came from a medium priced Audioquest digital coax cable 1.5 meters. Not just a small difference and now I am re-visiting all my old favorites [again]. Fun. | |
| Paper cone drivers/natural materials Cones? I don't need no stinking cones. I have had Magnepans for 25 years and there is no going back. | |
| Phono Stage Amp Lots of phono stages do not put out the same level as other components. So you have to turn up your amp to get the same loudness. Which is taxing on the amp. Sounds like you should try a more powerful amp. | |
| The Best Speakers in the World! I am pretty sure it was the 901's only that had an equalizer. And what a soundstage, even if it had a manufactured sound. Without the equalizer, they sounded horrible. | |
| Regular interconnect or digital? Thanks, people, for your help. I am checking them out. | |
| Regular interconnect or digital? So I need 1m cable to DAC. Any recommendations? | |
| How Audiphiles are Different It would be a really droll industry if everyone liked the same speakers, amp, room treatment etc etc. No need for going to audio shows. Or visiting showrooms. We are individuals with vastly differing tastes and viewpoints. And it changes with a... | |
| Analog vs. digital Vinyl CAN sound superior to anything digital but you'll have to spend a lot more to get to that level. Then, a 180 gm record is about 3 or 4 times the price of one month of Qobuz. | |
| Upgrade path direction I can't recommend these but the articles I have read on the new JBL's and KLH are really interesting and thought provoking. I want to audition them myself. | |
| Why do hipsters prefer analog? Hipsters do not do it because of the way it sounds. They like the cool brand of athletic clothing, they like vinyl or cassettes because retro is cool, they need to do cool stuff, so everyone can see how cool they are. Cool! |
