| Sound is better when I stand up? SIMAO. When you stand, you are changing the distance your ears are from the speakers, (less) the back wall (more) and the ceiling. Yet sound wise, you like that position better. Experiment with duplicating each of those new dimensions while sitt... | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Years ago, worked my way up B&W’s speakers to Nautilus 800s. Mistake, they never sounded right in a 9X15 living room. Traded the B&Ws in on Wilson Watt-Puppy 7s. Perfect. Then went to Wilson Sashas, wonderful. Traded my Wilson Sasha’s on t... | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC While I'm an MSB and dCS fan, what about those cool little USB thingys from Audioquest? California. | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? Ekorness Stressless Recliner.... need to comfortable for four hours and sleep anytime | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism A great deal depends on how your speakers are designed. My 180lb Wilsons and their rock dead cabinets are meant to be on spikes, not suspended to vibrate. Spent some cash on Stillpoints (more expensive than GAIA) and found I didn't care for the ... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables There's a big performance difference between Venom and the Storm cables. But, it's system dependent. I did a personal shoot-out with about a dozen expensive power cables on my top of the line conrad-johnson mono-block power amplifiers. I now us... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Also, want a cool running amp? Try PS Audio's Class D mono blocks. My Wilson dealer tells me he's got some customers with big Wilson's running them and they sold pretty good. A reasonable endorsement. | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Definitely get the speakers farther apart and toed in more. It costs nothing. Move your listening seat forward to create an equilateral triangle, you can move it back a bit, =10%, later. Don't know how the PL sounds with your speakers, you coul... | |
| American Made Audio Products Nothing against Transparent, many love them. With Wilson speakers, always wanted to try their cables. I use Nordost Valhalla and the Transparent dealers seem reluctant to send me anything for comparison. I see Nordost is on the list. As is Conr... | |
| American Made Audio Products Not a fan but what about Transparent audio, the cable folks. | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) At your local dSC dealer you should be able to trade your Paganini and clock for a new Bartok. The Bartok has an updated dCS ring DAC and streamer. You can use their Mosaic streaming program to access Tidal/Qobuz or subscribe to Roon. Top quali... | |
| Bob Carver Going Direct. My first "good" amplifier probably 35 years or more ago was a Carver, A big black box that sat on an included thick piece of smoked glass. Special order from Washington State. When I plugged it in, It was DOA. I called the dealer and they of co... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Why would anybody listen to this guy? Physically disgusting and doesn't know what he's talking about. | |
| Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers The issue with this and some other forums for me is folks posting with opinions about Equipment that they haven't owned or even heard. They will parrot what's been written by reviewers or posters similarly inexperienced. Sorry folks, but if you ... |
