| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile My journey started when I purchased my 1st vinyl record, Linkin Parks Hybrid Theory. I had no player, no system no nothing. I only bought the album as a way to remember and have something in memory of Chester Benningtons after his passing. I ended... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @roxy54 takes a special kind of person to standout in a discussion like this, but you are a super star | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @lordmelton sorry (not sorry) you found yourself "particularly" offended | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Nothing says old and out of touch like listing all the music you hate. I don’t mean this lightly. No coincidence you see the high end audio industry dying off with its community members and why the youth or women seldom take on the interest. Look ... | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? Ok so no secret digital has lower frequency range. However digital bass is more of a slam, as in instant and quickly gone whereas from a tt your bass freq won't go as low however most interpret it more bass because it will sound fuller, heavier e... | |
| Looking for a new DAC Also have the innuos Halo May Kte combo. It's amazing. I had it narrowed down between Denafrips and Halo May Kte. It's not a matter of which is better but personal preference. However between these two who h have been compared extensively by every... | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? Atc active 50s. Paired with Supratek Cortese LCR phono preamp. Atc impedance is crucial to match with a preamp, most tube preamps aren't neutral enough or able to have low enough impedance to match Atc. And that's defeats the purpose of Atc if you... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just got in SDH Semiotics Department of Heteronyms self titled 2018 vinyl, and La Dispute 2008 Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair. | |
| A life sentence!!! It's not close to the most expensive component in my rig, it's not the second most expensive, it's tied with my 3rd most expensive... it's my Supratek Cortese LCR, and I'd part with everything else before this preamp. In part because the guy who ... | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable I’ve owned Rega, Naim, Linn, Macintosh, Denafrips preamps, and currently a Supratek tubed preamp. None of then sound alike. All vastly different. So yeah it matters. Another thing to consider with speaker cables is trying both copper and silver. T... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. First off anyone who says cables don’t make a difference is because they dont have a system revealing enough to hear it. And if this is true about yours then definitely don’t waste your money. Focals are very revealing but Macintosh and Cambridge ... | |
| My Gray Experience I also ordered S510 from a small dealer in my area. I did some research and Shipping took a few days longer than expected. In a panic I called Rel and Paul Magee returned my call assuring me the speakers had been ordered new, the dealer was an aut... | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» Of all the people I know, work family and friends I'm the only one into hifi and collecting physical media. I have a few theories why more youths haven't taken on this Hobbie. 1) it's wildly overpriced 2) whenever people talk about quality reco... | |
| speaker upgrade fever I'm an ATC active owner and Focals. I run my atc w Tubes. For me it's tbe perfect balance of detail and musicality. The focal paired w Naim is also unique but the speakers can be interpreted as bright. So I mention my setup for refrence... however... | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? I always found it odd and assuming that some people think because others evaluate, compare and analyze gear that means they don't actually listen to or enjoy music. Reminds me of what they say you are when you ASSume. I mean take your favorite sp... |
