| A blowing session???? @charles1dad I totally agree that each musician has their own interpretation and style. No question. Not really what I was getting at in my OP though. More along the lines of the overall impression that one gets with listening to the genre. So, i... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? 1st, no audio reproduction is perfect. I know my system is not perfect but my system is closest anyone can get in reproduction audio. @mihorn Your statement is a little presumptive, don’t you think? I heard your system at the last THE show; l... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @mihorn You would not be hijacking my thread if your speakers are to be compared to much larger speakers. I do think videos on Youtube tells us next to nothing about the SQ of a system, although many folk seem to believe the opposite. | |
| Audio Research D-115 MkII OR pair of M-100s? OP, The question you ask is exactly what i looked into when I owned a D70Mk2. I was so impressed with this amp, that i was seriously interested in what the larger models would deliver. The M100's, and I think if in good shape ( which applies to ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I will compare to any audio system in the world. Please you show me any audio system’s live recording video sounds better than mine. Alex/Wavetouch audio Like phusis stated above, based on a video?? Even in a ’live room experience’, you cannot ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @unreceivedogma Your proviso makes sense. Room size and room tuning are important regardless of the size of the speaker. But it is indeed all relative. Which brings me to @phusis The point you seem to be making is that a big speaker can be made... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @phusis I thought you did not care about speaker-room interaction because upstream you posted this:"brought on as the BS rationale of "fitting your speakers to the listening room size-wise." IMO, if you want to run too large a speaker into too ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Alex, while I agree that @phusis point about small speakers sounding small. strained and much less natural in a variety of listening spaces is a very wide and somewhat incorrect statement, I do think we have to be fair to him. Your speakers, and ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs IMO, some of the best DAC's from 10-15 years back can still be very worth while acquiring. I think the price asked is the general decider, since some of the DAC's like you mention can now be had for a fraction of their original price, making them ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @phusis Personally, I would much rather hear a small speaker hampered by a large room and consequently sounding small; than a large speaker in too small a space- that totally overloads the room. YMMV. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @phusis If you don't believe in fitting your speakers to your listening room, size-wise, you clearly have never heard a speaker that is too large for said space. There are numerous examples of less experienced a'philes trying to shoe horn a too ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? "Big speakers, Big problems" is probably true 90+% of the time; but not always. If one has the room, the ancillary gear and the set up expertise, then they will provide a sense of scale, which IME, small speakers cannot. BUT the question is what ... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing I recently added a stand alone DAC to my Esoteric DV60 Universal player. Before, I could play back SACD’s...through the DV-60. Now I cannot play these discs as SACD's. BUT, and here’s the thing, the improvement that the DAC made to the whole SQ is... | |
| Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts? @soix Thanks. Looks like a good option. I suspected the Aurender would be brand specific. | |
| Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts? @treynolds155 Thanks again. This is really good to know. It could open up a much larger number of potential streamers for me. I was leaning towards a Aurender, but was only considering their N200 and up as they have a coax output. Now the lower mo... |
