| Pleasurably better, not measurably better Pleasurably better sound makes me pleasure myself. | |
| CD player suggestions... @ampus , "Not sure why the Emotiva hate from some of the posters." Well, since you asked, I will tell you my experience with the ERC-4. Purchased new/direct from Emotiva. Unit arrived with the metal faceplate for the drive tray bouncing around ... | |
| What's It All About? It's all about getting laid. | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? "What should make you upset is folks paying orders of magnitude more, only to get a less performant audio device." I think this about sums it up. Got to save the world from itself. I feel sorry for the people who blindly believe the BS you're th... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @amir_asr , Funny how you regress to passive/aggressive mannerisms when you get called out. Put the multimeter down and try listening with your ears. You might be amazed at what you discover. Go ahead and tell me that my "boutique" audio setup ... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? Hard pass on that one, Captain. | |
| CD player suggestions... Got to disagree with the Emotiva recommendation. That one that got sent back. Looks nice, cool remote, but non-gapless playback is a huge problem. I opened that CD player up, and it’s a $10 plastic OEM computer drive. Complete junk packaged in... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? ASR is a joke for people who want to think that their $500 (insert source piece of equipment here) is just as good, if not better than a $15000 (insert source piece of equipment). ASR's "measurements" PROVE it's better! They lost me for good aft... | |
| What is Your End Game System? I'm pretty happy with where I'm currently sitting, thanks. Not sure there is an end-game, if simply because gear gets old or breaks and needs to be replaced. Sometimes it's cheaper just to replace something, or if parts are no longer available, ... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options I've used SKW products before (interconnects). They're pretty good for what they are. I've not used their speaker cables, though. Can't go wrong with Amazon. If you don't like them, return them. | |
| Considering Towers in the $3000 range "My listening preferences are eclectic." Not sure what that means, but I'm going to assume you want a "general purpose" loud speaker. With a budget of $3K, I'd second the DI from Tekton. May also want to look at the used market.....there are ... | |
| Cables to settle brightness For your application, I would choose something that's pure copper (as opposed to silver, or a mix/alloy). I like Synergistic Research cables. There are always some available on usedcable . com | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube @langelo68 I watch Tarun more often than not when his videos come out. I’m not into everything he auditions, but I do like his calm, decaffeinated demeanor, lol. I like Thomas, too. Zero Fidelity reviewed what I consider to be a "Holy Grail" piece... | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. @dadork , I hadn't thought about it like that, but I do see your point. @hilde45 , I regularly use this site, hifishark, usaudiomart, etc....I do have my eye out for a specific piece of gear, and the price is all over the place. To all, thank... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube FWIW, I just checked out his Cheap Watch Guy channel. LOL. JC, and I thought some of the stuff he reviewed on his audio channel was junk. Just...wow. More power to you, Randy, but again, not for me. |
