| Floorstanding speakers vs. Standmount speakers&sub One of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten from a dealer was not to think of speakers in terms of monitor or floorstanding. Just find a speaker you enjoy listening to and don't worry about the design. Sounds simple, but very few people thin... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Well, at least you've learned there's very little of value here. Most people take a long time to figure that out. | |
| NEW CA DACMagic+ The advert states that "The world's best DAC just got even better!". So I guess it must be good. Better than the world's best. And for $649. Jeeez. | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? The difference between a Subaru Forester (a great car, BTW) and an BMW X-3 can best be appreciated by driving them both. What more can one do with 4 wheels and a motor?To me, the difference in the driving experience was well worth the extra money,... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows That's funny - I've heard audiophiles go on forever about how their system is so resolving they can hear a cough in the audience or someone drop something in the studio. The cough becomes more important than the music. Or the squeak of Art Blakey'... | |
| Tannoy Glenair 15? You go to a dealer to audition knowing you are not going to buy? Is that fair? | |
| First Rebecca Pidgeon Album? Spanish Harlem does sound very good. But she becomes tedious real fast. | |
| New Tweek - Has anyone ever tried this? No, Mr. Lebowski. That had not occurred to me. That had not occurred to us dude. | |
| So, what's your audio resolution for 2012? Paying for what I bought in 2011 | |
| What's likely to happen when an 845 tube fails? I'm not sure, but I've heard it from reliable sources that a bad 845 will explode, showering the room with glass and poison gas and killing everyone within a 3 mile radius. But that's a risk I'm willing to take. | |
| Mat recommendations for a Rega RP1 I like Herbie's mat as well, but why don't you just listen to the table for a few months while everything breaks in. Then you'll know if the new mat is an improvement or not. Don't assume that changing the mat will improve the sound to your liking. | |
| Loss of inner detail No way to really tell, but I'll take an uneducated guess, as long as you're asking. I've owned the Sony and while I think it's nice for the money, it's not what I would call "full" or "harmonically rich". In a system that is somewhat bass-heavy, t... | |
| Good power conditioner for non dedicated line Get an Audience AR1p and a Wiremold strip. There's an AR1p up for about $300 now and it's an excellent piece of gear. The Wiremold is up to about $90+, but it's a great product and this combo will give you 9 outlets of good-sounding filtered power... | |
| Any Caviar Fans Here? There are threads here about cars, watches and other stuff. I thought caviar might be a nice break from reading about latest and greatest $1000 DAC that trounces $10K players. | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl The most important thing you said was the YOU do not see (hear) the value of analog. In that case, dump it. That said, I really think that too many audiophiles obsess too much over their analog and it begins to be a source of stress rather than a ... |
