| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? Try binaural recordings for headphones, made with two microphones positioned in space as your ears would be... there are some examples on youtube. I think i have seen a few labels that offer such recordings. | |
| Elac B5 and B6??? Just another flash in the pan speaker?? or worth it Me too. I have just pressed the order button. They should arrive by end of next week... 19th maybe. I hope they are ok - i want a bookshelf option as i am tired of the rega rs5. We shall hear. | |
| Budget CD player with USB input 5 years ago, i compared NAD 315, Marantz 5004, and Marantz 8004.I kept the NAD because it is punchy and lively with budget bookshelves (b&w 601 in my case)at low to moderate volumes, and I kept the Marantz 8004 because the midrange is superb, ... | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables I really don't get the logic with heavy gauge on bass and ridiculously small gauge on midrange, and even smaller on tweeter... you're trying to put more resistance on tweeter/midrange to act like an additional crossover? | |
| Budget CD player with USB input second the Yamaha. I have bought a bd-s677 (blu-ray, dsd, usb, wifi, $250) and I was more than impressed. The sound in direct comparison with my msb dac (link iii) was much much better, better imaging, more natural.The Japanese have been back in... | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? I have had the pm8004 driving rega rs5 for the past 6 years... It is the best bang for the buck I have ever had in my house. Great gear. Marantz is solid. | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions wow, thanks for sharing your experiences... you are lucky to have access to all these models. Focal 714 still high on your list when compared to speakers costing 2-3 times more ? | |
| Visit to Magnolia Proves Interesting Magnolia staff does not know how to make speakers and electronics sound good - They simply cannot match the conditions you have at home.I have tried to listen to some b&ws and I was so not impressed that I thought it could not be the fault of ... | |
| Magnepan MMG, 2015 Thx for the comment... I remember when i returned the mmg to receive the mg12s, the frame was made of harder mdf. Can't wait to save enough to place an order for the mmgs again... That would be the third time for me! | |
| Magnepan MMG, 2015 I am sure... The dealer confirmed that they were mmgs, and the mmg pictures on magnepan.com confirm as well that there's been at the very least a trim change, if not the entire frame... Wonder if they have been improved, not just cosmetically but ... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions I have the rs5, along with one sealed sub, the svs sb1000. Yes the rs5 are absolutely awsome... Detailed but never bright, very fluid midrange, decent bass, great imaging. But i have had them for 5 years, and i am always curious to hear what other... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions the closet dealer is 3hrs from my house unfortunately. When i will have cash, i'll order a pair of 714 and see how they compare to my regas. | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions It's quite a surprise that the focal 714 did stand out against the others you've listened to... Such an inexpensive speaker.I am thinking about getting a pair, but there's no dealer around me.what did you like about them? Midrange definition, forw... | |
| cable Do you really need your cable to be that thick? | |
| Spotify sounds compressed I used to have itunes radio delivered by appletv straight into my dac, and it sounded great fo what it was, not to mention free. Since an imbecile removed the service, i stream spotify through roku and my tv dac, and it does not sound near as goo... |
