Does the smearing get worse with increased volume? If the smearing still occurs in a larger room(with i... | |
| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? North Star Design-Sapphire. Price/Performance ratio is off the charts! | |
| Audiophile newbie Have not heard anyone describe themselves as a Yuppie in 20+ years(lol)! I smell troll house cookies. | |
| The State of Jazz Current jazz performers are just not promoted by the media in the good ole USA! They would rather debate if "Kind of Blue" is the greatest jazz recording(lol)! Even the acclaimed Ken Burns jazz series had very little to say after Miles or Coltrane... | |
| Stopped looking for the best system Jmcgrogan2-We all know that we are slaves to the recording quality. The possible solution mentioned in your post is not applicable to a majority of us. IMO we should focus on issues we can control. Clearly modifying and properly conditioning elect... | |
| Stopped looking for the best system IMO the quality/consistency of your incoming electricity sets the benchmark for your system. Cables, room acoustics and vibration control are also very important but if the power issue is not addressed these become band-aid corrections at best. Yo... | |
| OPINIONS NEEDED 100 trade-in chance FOCAL I would clearly go with the Diablo. The Diablo is an iconic speaker which will always be in demand creating a high resale value. If you go with a new Diablo you should also expect a minimum 10% courtesy discount! | |

| Sadly missed manufacturers Mrschret-I don't think most of us are reminiscing. Many of the companies mentioned were top performers at there price points. Not sure if Acoustat was mentioned but they were a top player in planar speakers, and also made a great power amp. Need t... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers VSP Labs-Relatively affordable amps that were a big improvement over Adcom and most other entry level amps. Was planning to replace my Amber Series 70 with a Trans Mos 150. Has it been 25 years? Yikes! | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia I have stated several times on "Agon" that the Yamaha MX1(92-97) is the best sounding budget amp i've heard! | |
| Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000 Dynaudio C1 is known to have synergy with Simaudio. Also look into the Lenehan Audio ML 1 Reference. | |
| Which usual suspect TT in $1500 range. IMO the best sound for $1500 would be a used Rega P7. Of the new tables mentioned I would go with the Clearaudio Concept. | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Budburma-I'm just enjoying the banter! The 2 HiDiamond P3's I just purchased have made substantial improvements. When I upgrade my electronics/speakers a HiDiamond P4 will be at the top of my list. |
