| My stereo 😂I like it @toolbox149! | |
| My stereo Hey there @freediver, First off, I am old😂...old enough to know a bitter audiophile when insulted by one for no good reason.  Second, what's wrong with being a gear head? Even though we older audiophiles/gear heads have slowed down our purchases a... | |
| My stereo I Congratulate you! However, if you're a true audiophile, the journey never ends. Even if you found all the equipment that satisfies you, you'll keep buying music, tweaks, room treatments, and looking in Audiogon for that next special deal😂! | |
| Dealers of High End Equipment I have a Scott Walker Audio near me, Josh is good to deal with. He gave me a good trade for a new MAC C-53 pre. A nice deal on a VPI HW40, cartridge and phono pre. He'll come down a little, help you unpack it and deliver in some cases. Good folks,... | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... Not sure without reading all posts above... but IMHO an audiophile is someone who relentlessly pursues the best sound of their favorite musical genre/s they can attain. | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. Hello Nutty, thanks for the response. I worry about interfering with the original equipment. I recently purchased A Mac C53, so would hate it to "affect" warranty, etc. With the Mac I would have to remove the chassis, donmt want to do that. My dea... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. Arriving late to the discussion! My dealer suggested trying the new SR purple fuses in my preamp. If they are worth it, $200 isn't too bad for a tweak. But has anyone had to remove them or had trouble after installing them? what is the longest per... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I wonder what made him become such a hater🤔. I’ve owned a lot of amps in the past as I worked my way up to the level of McIntosh and the like. When I finally got there, I was NOT disappointed. Especially the versatility and sound of my C-2500 tube... | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? Thanks for the info Mike, those 4435s are classics and awesome! | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? Great info, thanks…maybe I should spend more time reading and less listening? | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? Copy that Erik, guess I was confused, but it was JBLs fault😂, they compared true horns with their compression versions in the write-up. Either way they are excellent sounding, and thanks for the clarity! | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? I have had horn speakers in my life from the very first purchase and now as possibly the last in my systems and loved them. I started as a kid in 1976 with a pair of B.I.C. Venturi. For $79.95 and now have JBL Array 1400s. Super happy with them! T... | |
| How old are you? 56, parents never understood why I felt like I deserved stereo equipment better than them. Couldn't answer that question at 11. Mowed lawns for $$ then. After I sent cash through the mail to Hifi Buys for my first system. Technics SA200 receiver, ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Hi gene3x, I had B&W 802s until I purchased an MC352 with a C2500 pre to match. Several people’s comments are correct about those tweeters, they were too bright and fatiguing for me, so I sold them. They were ok with my Parasound A21 Halo amp,... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I am also at the stage in my gear collecting where I’m trying to tweak everything to it’s maximum performance. So, I recently replaced the XLR interconnects between my CD player and preamp and preamp and amplifier. I had about a $350 budget per se... |
