| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Ditto ghosthouse' suggestion of Hegel. Great-sounding SS gear, if you want an integrated amp, rather than just an amp. | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? used Bel Canto. Detail and bass control. No harshness. | |
| Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More I apologize in advance for adding another brand that you didn’t ask about. I have a similar home office, but running ProAc Response 1sc, and a REL sub. I also have a pair of of Response 2d, which are more revealing and “impressive”. Tried bot... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Why don't speaker manufacturer's publish their speakers responses?! What are they hiding? Why can't I tune my speakers to suit my ears? And why won't Magico return my phone calls?oh, wait, wrong thread. You guys are discussing the pleasures of... | |
| Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost? I have one ear that is down 60dB in the middle and high frequencies, and I have horrible tinnitus on that side only. My good ear still demands terribly good equipment. | |
| We spend too much time talking about tweeters Nobody has quoted the immortal lyrics of Meghan Trainor: I’m all ‘bout that bass, ‘bout that bass, no treble...i can shake it like I’m supposed to, cause I got the boom boom that all the boys chase...What is wrong with your people?! | |
| Colapse to Hegel I had a H90 and it sounded surprisingly good with Proac Response D2. I went back to solid state separates, but it WAS a pleasing piece of gear. | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Sevi01 elevates this thread by introducing Dieter Ram, one of the most influential designers in our lifetimes. I don’t really want to own a Braun stereo, but the man is an amazing designer (and team player). So many Braun products are icons, an... | |
| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? From an architect:I don’t know about physically/mechanically buzzing, but if you have not already done so, wire the cans on their own circuit. Especially important not to mix LED and incandescent on the same circuit. Separating the can circuit w... | |
| Small Footprint (compact) amp to power speakers? 3rd Bel Canto. Their integrated amps actually kind of kick ass. No power concerns, and they also serve as great preamps when you have cash to upgrade. Keep your eyes open for a good price on a used C5. | |
| Name the most recent album that has shaped your musical world Puscifer’s ‘Existential Reckoning’. Released last month. Quite a great album. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Pretty sure MC started this, bringing everything down a notch by linking “stop the steal” and freedom of expression. WTF? Audiogon does rhyme with QAnon, but maybe we should resist the politics. | |
| Wish I had put more emphasis on cables earlier I second the suggestion to try Audio Envy. I have had a good experience switching over to their cables from Cardas. I don’t have much to compare their power cables to, but their cords are more flexible than the other two brands I had. In my in... | |
| Audio Envy No-sp9 I have them, but can’t compare them to Rocket. I was running very short Cardas Golden Reference from Bel Canto monoblocks to Audiophysics Tempo 6. I needed to move the monoblocks further away, but couldn’t stomach the $$ for longer runs of the ... | |
| Are there any bookshelf speakers that sound good on a bookshelf? Proac Response 2 or 2R. Great speaker, with a front port. In my experience, anything with a rear port needs a foam plug when located in a bookshelf, and then the bass response rolls off, and then life becomes a little less enjoyable. I’m sure... |
