| Best 1,000 complete system for girlfriend ideas For some that question remains relevant today. Right now (for the non audiophile) a pair of active Bluetooth speakers must be the easiest, quickest, most convenient fuss way of bringing good sound quality into your home. For sure you will need s... | |
| Sennheiser HD 660 S vs HD650 vs HD6XX I've not heard the Sennheiser HD650 or the 660s but I have heard the new HD599s which are supposed to be up there with the long standing legendary HD600. In a straight comparison I found the HiFiMAN 400se to be considerably more life-like than th... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @tonywinga Audio: It is the best of hobbies and it is the worst of hobbies. It starts with a love for music but that quickly leads to obsession. It's this transition from the love of music to the love of gear that separates the true audioph... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @roxy54 I'm glad for that. I'm sure you tried your best, and that's what counts the most, isn't it? Anyway...how about this for a near perfect tune? | |
| Recommendation for Headphones under $250 Another vote for the HiFiMAN Sundara. If you’re sensitive to timing anomalies you really need to give them a listen. I don’t like overpriced, overhyped, so-called ’High End’ products that are simply masquerading as the Emperor’s New Clothes. Th... | |
| Hey, I'm looking for the highest quality recordings from the following Artists: Both Chet Baker Sings and Chet Baker Plays the best of Lerner and Lowe are wonderfully free breathing uncompresed recordings. Alone Together, a Chet Baker / Bill Evans collaboration is pretty good too. In fact I can’t remember hearing a badly re... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @serjio @cd318 You don’t understand - now the sixth scientific revolution is underway ... the fate of mankind directly depends on whose hands the technologies will be - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ALLOW the oligarchs ... otherwise ordinary people wi... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @serjio Don’t let the human condition get you down too much. Most of them having been fighting and killing for resources for hundreds of centuries. There’s nothing any different now, except they’re better at hiding their real intentions if you... | |
| Relative Importance of Analog Components 1 Turntable - nothing further down the chain can fix any speed and resonance issues here. In fact they'll only make them more obvious. 2 Arm - once again structural/resonance issues will make the job of the cartridge much much more difficult. 3 ... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? @mulveling As far as Tannoy tulip vs. pepperpot waveguide: pepperpot (usually paired with a single alnico magnet which is VERY expensive) is capable of a more vibrant, lifelike and gorgeous midrange with very fast transients and "startle" factor... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @asctim I’ll bring up another point that’s similar to me - perfect blacks on OLED TVs. Unless everything else is "perfect" too, tis just another example of chasing the wrong thing. Perhaps the real problem is in our genes? We men especiall... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @roxy54 Just curious; what do those lyrics mean to you? To me they suggest a mind that's struggling to make sense of its new reality. A mind that has now sunk to its lowest possible level. A mind escaping by way of hallucinating an affi... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? @yoyoyaya When later questioned on that decision, enigmatic Naim boss Julian Vereker would just say, we do it because we think it sounds better like that. Naim were once an iconoclastic company, but in this particular case they took it too far.... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? @mulveling Maybe you could be more specific about the sound qualities you ascribe to concentric drivers. @tomcy6 For me: Coherent, natural sound with solid & sharp imaging, because the tweeter and mid/woofer covering the critical midra... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @thespeakerdude I often find it hard to find the time for a healthy ride so my "thing" now is a modified version of HIIT. A couple minutes flat out on the rowing machine several times a day. Consider it 10 minutes a day of a whole body flat ou... |
