| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I agree with those above who recommended you get rid of them rather than changing your whole system around in hopes of getting them to work. Big mistake. If you insist on keeping them, I think your best hope is an equalizer or an integrated amp wi... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? What you should do is accept the fact that you cannot buy a speaker based on reviews or sometimes even an in-store demo, unless you are prepared to accept the possibility that the speakers just don't work well in your room. In the typical domesti... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Before getting a TT, do you have a stable place to put it? I have springy floors and I couldn't survive without a wall shelf. Personally, if I were buying a tt right now and had some money, I might consider the new Technics 1200. If I didn't ha... | |
| Are you seeing more 9/10s? Buy local. I always try to sell local because I want the person to see and hear the piece before buying because I don’t want to listen to someone’s bullshit later. Even then - year ago I sold a Music Hall Maverick CD player (remember those) to so... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric How much "better" one component is over another is totally dependent on your system, your ears and your sonic priorities. Depending on what the listener values, there may be no advantage to buying a more expensive player. For me, the better play... | |
| How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017? As with anything in this hobby, everything costs as much as your ears say it costs. If one is deaf, reality costs nothing. As one progresses in their hearing acuity and sonic priorities, reality costs progressively more. The only other issues is h... | |
| Marantz TT-15S1 anyone with experience fitting an electronic speed box? Ok - then I suggest you buy one and listen for yourself. | |
| Turntable Upgrade Do you have any dealers in your area where you can bring your Debut and demo it against other tables? Because it doesn't matter if a table is night and day better if it doesn't sound night and day better to you. Certainly, it's a good idea to ge... | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? The old Scotts were nice. Also a fan of the Sansui integrated. Buttons all in the right places. | |
| Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn I loved the wall shelf for my Linn. I had springy floors and the tt would go crazy if you looked at it the wrong way. I knew a wall shelf would be better, buty I was amazed at the degree of isolation. But if you're not having footfall problems,... | |
| The Slow Secret Death of the Guitar Just listen to anything by the Chainsmokers if you want to know everything that's wrong with music. Not wrong, actually, just why things are the way they are. You only have to listen to one song because they're all the same. | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? Personally, I think that too many audiophiles knee jerk into believing they must put something under their components to isolate them from whatever, In the case of my Ear Acute, I preferred the sound of it sitting on it's own feet to any isolatio... | |
| Is it upgrade from SF auditor to Harbeth SHL5 plus? I am familiar with both speakers, which, IMO are both excellent. The SHL 5s do have a "bigger" sound IMO, but unfortunately, without a home demo, there is no way to predict which one will sound better in your listening room. In the right room, t... | |
| Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting.... To me, it doesn’t sound like you know what you are trying to achieve with the amp upgrade, because your only fault with it is "long in the tooth". I would seriously consider bringing it with you to your demo and having the dealer a/b it with whate... | |
| Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn That is exactly what Linn says not to do. Try building a mini-shelf on top of the rack. Use a piece of Corian or whatever and put 3 or 4 cones under the shelf. I guarantee you'll hear a big difference. Better or worse? That's up to you. The ... |
