| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Ennio Morricone. - Once Upon A Time In America Shaft, because I like to break the rules. | |
| After the thrill is gone Martin Logan loyalist for life. I’ve owned nearly every ML speakers under the sun. Retired now, Spires and a Deph i, my journey is over. Tube integrated’s, turntables, I’m good. And hat’s off to under $10k systems! | |
| Jazz for aficionados There is zero comparison between jazz and classical. They are worlds away from each other. Start a Classical for Afficianado’s thread. The birth of jazz is rooted in the blues, which was rooted in slavery. That’s not Classical. When you’re imm... | |
| Analog vs. digital If you’re not hearing the high fidelity in your system, then something is wrong with your system. | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) Pass and Plinius, tops of the field in Class A. | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark You observed that the dealers pair were made in Denmark. So you naturally thought you were purchasing a made in Denmark pair of speakers. It’s not your responsibility to know that Dynaudio had switched their production to China. Dealers should rec... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Stick with tubes. It’s always a challenge in a small room because you’re forced to put your gear exactly where it shouldn’t be placed. I agree with the consensus suggestions that you should address your room and maximize its possibilities. Is it p... | |
| Is a separate phono pre really necessary? Depends on your gear. I had a SS phono stage in a Carver Ultimate receiver that sold for $5k that sounded pretty good! My PS Audio phono pre was a bit better but not that much better. To spend $2k for a separate phono pre I’d say only if your budg... | |
| Dust cover up or down? Goes without saying. Off! | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? I have an R8. I’ve been in audio for 30 years. I’ve never had better sound. I’m driving Martin Logan Spires. I have all the headroom I need. Do I feel the need to sample anything else? Absolutely not. I’m very content. Vinyl is sublime. I have the... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? Plinius! For sure. | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? Sony XA7ES, twenty five year old CD players still in use today! Former Stereophile A player that sold for $3k is still going strong with the greatest sound. And no flimsy Phillips based drive system, but Sony’s proprietary drawer featuring the bes... | |
| Upgrade path question with $2k to spend I’d not spend $2k for a phono stage. Heck you can find the PS Audio phono stage used for less than $500, which provides excellent results. i’d upgrade the Turntable. $2k goes along way on the used market. I just bought a new MMF9.3 for $1800. ... | |
| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day Great. Another fed up with FedEx article. Yawn. | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines In an empty house we were moving to I had two outlets, of 4 plugs each, installed of 20 amp wire. The room had a common wall with the garage, and the wire went to a breaker box in the garage far wall. So the wire only ran to the ceiling and down a... |
