| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig Let’s put it this way. I am enjoying my system. I like my system when I purchased it. Since then as I learned more, tried different components and tweaks and each time, it sounded better. OK I was hooked. My latest change was taking out a tube bu... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy I was in a similar situation when I retired and yes it was overwhelming. Hadn't kept up for 20 years. bought a Node 2i. The interface is the easiest to use. I didn't like Roon. And you pay for it. I put a better power supply in it. $132. ... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Adele: enough already. Stop smoking. Stop writing about old boyfriends Heavy metal: screaming unintelligible lyrics Rap:Ticking on a cymbal and electronic bass while they talk about drug dealing and killing cops. Mumble rap, c'mon Jazz: can't... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? Lots of advise. I would add a couple subs. That takes a load off speaker and amp. Amps from Coda and Pass will do the job. I go by how heavy they are but Class D broke that rule. The tube recommendations are good also. I have an Xa25 with ... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Brian Eno Before and after Science, Another Green World Tool Laturalus Camel Moonmadness Phil Manzanera Diamond Head Peter Gabriel So Agree with many others Zappa, King Crimson, Pink Floyd | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers I paid very low prices for the sub setup. If I bought it all new now it would cost double what my speakers cost. As we used to say at work, run to failure. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I put the subs between my speakers pointing them toward the wall. Sat there for 20 yrs. Then I retired and started revisiting my music setup. Bought some bass traps and put springs under subs. Before this the bass was boomier with standing w... | |
| A first Yeah, I'm also a lonely audiophile banished to the basement. That's OK. I have it set up in the right place. People come over and are in shock. I didn't know there was so many sounds in the music. My son wants to hear it loud. Imagine an X... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Klipsch Heritage with those two subs. Speakers and subs isolated from the floor. Crossover 80-100 Hz. Room treated. Nice bass | |
| Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song? #fsonicsmith I need to update my system page. I updated the streamer. It has a new power supply which helped a lot. I am under the impression that the Topping is very quiet and detailed. It has the AKM chip. I suppose a better analog section ... | |
| Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song? I tried Qobuz. I stayed with Amazon. Sound was the same. For electronic: Yello "Point" Progressive: Peter Gabriel "So" Blues: Mighty Sam McClain Keep on Moving Eclectic: David Byrne/Brian Eno: Everything that happens Classical: refe... | |
| Large speaker recommendation Bigger, newer Sonus Fabor. I liked them better than Sasha Daw. IThey were powered by 1kW Macs. Don't know if they are that hard to drive. | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers Volti, Classic Audio, Viking Acoustics, Klipsch Jubilee. These are all efficient and won't take monster sized amps. | |
| No frills speaker manufacturers I purchased the Crites Type B. You can order parts only or completely assembled. Cost assembled is about $2000. I think inflation raised that a little. They are made from Baltic birch. I clearcoated them. I have the grills but play them with... | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience The Bluesound app works well. I personally didn't want another subscription service so Roon is out for me. I upgraded the power supply on the Node 2i. Huge bang for the buck. Lower noise floor with space and better transients. Most streamers th... |
