| GIK Acoustic Treatments Next to cables and tweaks, room treatment devices are some of the most ridiculously marked up products in our hobby.As they seemed reasonable, I used GIK and also had a great experience.Even my wife thinks they look great. (Photos in system link.) | |
| Best iPods for AUDIOphiles All very interesting and thanks. I already have Sennheiser HD580's and a Grado headphone amp, as well as a vintagey Headroom amp. I have Shure headphones, Etymotics headphones and Bose noise cancellation headphones.For the iPod, my main concern is... | |
| God this is overkill Please add me to the not laughing crowd.In fact, I would say not only is this not overkill, but I might even argue that you have only just begun.Since first building the desktop PC system you can see in my system link, I have added an Audio Resear... | |
| Received my Wadia i170 transport today. Can anyone please explain if or why this configuration should outperform Foobar or iTunes on a laptop exported through USB to an external DAC?I care about sound quality, but I don't care about playlists and I don't care about consolidating my musi... | |

| Rethinking Listening Fatigue This thread is getting very sad.It sounds like I should just chuck all of my gear, go back to analogue and spend my weekends listening to the Sheffield Drum Record. | |
| Rethinking Listening Fatigue KijankiRather, not pointing fingers at Behringer...Thank you for your interesting point on negative feedback.cwlondon | |
| Rethinking Listening Fatigue This is great - thanks for answers so far!Re recording quality, yes I would agree nothing is more fatiguing than a bad, overly compressed recording.But no, I would say these observations apply even while listening to old audiophile favorites, albe... | |
| SME series III As a kid in high school, my SME III tonearm was my most prized audiophile possession next to my Magneplanar MG-Is.I thought it was hypnotically beautiful and very well made. At that time, my audio mentor suggested a Grado Signature cartridge which... | |
| What is your favorite recording with a quirck One all time favourite test for this would be Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky. There are several barely audible items - a psychedelic change of pitch in one of the last lingering piano notes...the voice of the pub philosopher...the breath of the... | |
| behringer reference? Parts Express has been my supplier for these amps and also for a DEQ24/96 which also continues to work perfectly. Unlike many audio dealers I have met, they have been 100% customer service focused with a liberal, absolutely no questions asked retu... |
