| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? Any serious audiophile understands the basics of room acoustics, has nothing to do with the level/cost of gear one purchases. Another outdated misnomer is HEA is just bling. Dan D’agostino is not the only HEA company, take a look at Convergent Aud... | |
| High quality recordings any genre @ghdprentice +1 @mapman -1 IMO the goal of this hobby(lifestyle) is to enjoy music at the highest sonic level possible. The problem is we are all prisoners with recording quality issues. Many Classical, acoustic Jazz, Jazz vocal and Jazz fusio... | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? Spend the majority of money on the turntable. The Technics SL-1200G is a no brainer for a true entry level HI/End deck. At $4500 for 1200G this leaves $1500 leftover. Allocate the least possible amount for a solid cartridge(Ortofon 2M Blue) then a... | |
| Quad Revela 1 & 2 @sergeee Since you have owned other Quad loudspeakers you probably have a good idea of the Quad box speaker house sound. It has been a long time since I have heard a Quad speaker with drivers. My Revela impression from Youtube is they have a ver... | |
| Preamp Shopping - Parasound, ML, McIntosh IMO it's not a good idea to match different SS product(brands) without listening first due to synergy issues. Vacuum tube preamps(different brands) have a very high rate of successfully enhancing a SS amplifier, provided that the preamps output im... | |

| Do people tire of audio forums? IMO many members take this site and brand loyalty too seriously. ARC//MAC/Magnepan/JBL/Vandersteen and others are viewed by many as sacred cows. We even have a longtime member that worships Ohm loudspeakers and praises them at almost every opportu... | |
