| what speakers to buy I’m not much of a Wilson fan myself, but used Wilsons are a great buy, IMO. Wilson is constantly coming out with Mark 2, Mark 3 and other versions, causing the owners to dump their speakers at very good prices. Personally, If I had the room, I wou... | |
| OPPO vs Marantz SA-14 audio wise First of all, whether the Marantz has better audio or not is only dependent on whether you can hear it. You may or may not. Not everyone appreciates the values of the better players, which are often more realistic-sounding than their cheaper cou... | |
| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... Some say they hear a difference, some say they can't. The ones who hear a difference claim the ones who can't are deaf, and the ones who can't say the ones who can are just trying to justify their purchase. I don't recall if anyone ever tried to... | |
| 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... |
