| Headphone for multi-use What do you mean by using the headphones for entertaining? You mean just listening? And why would they sound different when using them for working? I think you need to be a little more clear about this. Also need a budget and what you intend t... | |
| Esoteric K03XD That’s very nice of him. And I agree shipping is expensive and also very risky. I don’t know - I have something against Esoteric since I had my X-05, which I absolutely hated. Nobody ever says anything bad about Esoteric until the next generation ... | |
| Esoteric K03XD If he is a good friend, he will let you send it back if you don't care for it. Won't he? | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system A friend of mine, whose ears I trust, bought the LFD NCSE (~$7500) and thinks it is fabulous. And he was sold on tubes before that. I haven't heard it yet myself. No remote, if that matters. BTW, he bought it from Gene Rubin, who is great to de... | |
| Transports: Simaudio, Pro-ject, Jays Personally, if I were buying an expensive transport right now, between the 3, I would buy a Jays with 2 extra transports. The Pro-ject may be great, but they are a new company with a new product and who knows where they’ll be in a year or 2 in the... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. Actually, I would add to the list that if someone is the type of person that would constantly be worried about alignment, VTF, VTA, antiskate and record cleaning, they are much better off with digital. I’ve seen more than one person who cannot enj... | |
| Careless Neglect in Hi-Fi. These go to 11. | |
| CD Player/Transport Quandary Honestly - it could be any of the items you mentioned. Your equipment seems decent enough. What did you use to feed the dac before the Denon? Could be the recording. If I were doing your test, I would probably start with a well-recorded piano ... | |
| What are ways to fix speaker dips in my speaker or audio room "You are worrying about a non existent problem"I see a lot of that going on. | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? I think you pose an interesting question and I've always felt that people who listen primarily to rock and metal would be better served by systems more closely related to the better sound reinforcement products. This assumes you have the space an... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Not the answer you are looking for, but IMO, if you are looking for an endgame speaker, of which I've had several :) you should buy something you can audition in your home country. Everything else is a guess, no matter how well-reviewed. Auditio... | |
| Cost Effective System Improvement? Sometimes, not always, speaker cables can make a huge difference. I have been on both sides of this and can say from first-hand experience, Belden/Canare work absolutely fine and sometimes they can suck depending on your amp/speaker interface. I ... | |
| Underwood Hifi Cables I think if you're shopping in the price range you're in, just get yourself some Cullens and be done with it. Very good quality, fair pricing and good brand recognition if you want to sell and move up to the high-priced stuff. | |
| Underwood Hifi Cables Sorry to say, but buying anything without listening is always a crapshoot. Does Underwood give a trial period? If not, maybe you are better off going with a used name brand in case you want to flip it later. Then again, Wally does have an excelle... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... @avitacom - Actually I found my Audience power conditioner made a very positive improvement in my system. But I've had it plugged in for years and I am going to try going back to a straight power strip with no filtering, fuses or switches just t... |
