| Being grateful for what we have Yes, when it is gone you will miss it. I think the biggest upgrade is the room it self. When all is said and done, it is the key factor in your listening experience. Twenty years ago I built my 'room', from the ground up. I was never so pleased. D... | |
| your impression on esoteric sa-50 Overpriced for the sound it produces, at least in my rig. OPPO 83SE beats it hands down. | |
| Any vintage tuners with a small footprint? Hi hifi hit it right on the head. I paid $60 including shipping, and it blows away some of the hi end tuners I have. Things do get better and cheaper. | |
| what makes a good CD player As 'knownothing' indicated, the ears rule, no matter what the tech or mechanical means are. As I have posted before, be bold. Try the Sony 595 for $60 at SonyStyle to see if it will satisfy you 'ears'. Many have said it does. | |
| How low can we go with JITTER now? Until you can not hear it. That is you, not some reviewer of dealer. The 'ears' rule. | |
| ProAc 1 SC vs. ProAc D1 I own the 1SC. I auditioned the DI in my listening room. In comparing the SC to the D1, I liked the SC better. However, I also auditioned the D2 in my listening room. I like the D2 better then the SC. My advice is get a dealer to let you audition ... | |
| Computer Do Over Please consider the Dell Zino (Insprion 400), it is a better value then the mac mini. I recently got a scratch and dent one for $220 (windows 7, wireless card) and it works great. If you want to go Mac, I second the idea of others that the iMac is... | |
| An Experiment in Speaker Placement As mentioned by others, the room is everything. If you have not read Floyd Toole's book 'Sound reproduction' please do so. It will help you 'see' what your are hearing and offer some solutions. Also, take some measurements using some of the free s... | |
| Advice on going from mid level to high end Don't, until you can actually hear new speakers demo'd in your present room. Your room may be the limiting factor. Once you find a set of speakers that sound much, much better with your present electronics, then move on to the other components. I ... | |
| Review: Realistic Minimus 7 Monitor I also think they sound great. I've had a pair which I purchased thirty years ago. I use them as computer speakers now, but did use them as rear surrounds for a while. When I purchased them I had not idea how I would use them but they sounded so g... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Five vs. Seven vs. MC 275? Please look into and listen to the Cayin knockoffs of the MC 275. Great sound and value. Cayin and Primaluna are made by the same firm in China. | |
| clearaudio emotion cmb vs. VPI classic Classic is much better not only in sound but value. | |
| How high end must your system be... Don't be suckered into the 'high price better system'. Read some of the 'audio critic' stuff as putting sanity into the hobby. | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Klipsch, used K-Horns or Belles is the way to go. Your room needs a 'gig' sound and nothing does it better then Klipsch. Buying them used and they are in your price range. Easy to sell off if you don't like the sound. Yes, I have had the K-Horns a... | |
| Opinions on these amps? Please add the Cayin and VAS line of amps. Better sound, better value. |
