| Speaker upgrade Listen to more speakers and listen to your three favorite songs, one from each genre. The advice above from @ghdprentice @doyle3433 Doyle is solid. It’s going to be hard to find the perfect speaker for all three genre’s in my experience. | |
| Speaker placement in a room with the best performance if it is close to a wall? I have the same problem, I also suggest “bookshelves” size speakers and a sub(s), which is the way I went. Also, either sealed cabinets or ones with the port in the front. | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @jasonbourne52 Your mention of having DCM Time Windows and the Ohm made my day. I use to sell them way back when. Great speakers. The Time Windows blew my mind. Haven't heard them in too many years to count, but they would give many speakers today... | |
| Odd subwoofer question. All good suggestions, I went with JL Audio due to their DSP built in. Really helps match the sub to your room and other speakers. The size of the room is critical. I had to go with their ten inch as my room was just too a bit too small for the 12 ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Finally listening to Bruce Cockburn's Bone on Bone, from 2017, so guess I'm still catching up on the 'teens! Just sooooo much good music out there. Great album. Great music. Well recorded. | |
| JBL model L150 woofer cone color question I sold these JBL’s a long while back and never saw JBL black woofers. We also saw a lot of blown JBL speakers, usually someone who had a lower powered amp they turned up to high. I would say they were replaced. If they are JBL replacements, no rea... | |
| What was the last CD you bought (Name, and year issued)? @jgfergus thanks!! I’ll search for it. | |
| Vintage vs. New, Risk vs. Reward @jasonbourne52 I agree with you, there is some old equipment that still sounds as good, if not better then some of the new stuff. Restore an old Dynaco or Marantz Tube amp and you'll have some great sound. My AR turntable sounded great until it ... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment This was a very educational thread. Thanks to all! | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs My apologies for misunderstanding the question. | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs I went with an Aurender N200 without the built in DAC. The Aurender’s with the built in DAC sounded fine, but I wanted to be able to change/upgrade DACs over the years as I have done in the past. I have the current PS Audio direct stream DAC, but ... | |
| Vintage vs. New, Risk vs. Reward I love the looks of “old” equipment, such as the old Marantz receivers. I also love the look of McIntosh, although for the most part they still look the same…but even they have changed the electronics inside. Anyway, I did not buy “old” equipment... | |
| Sublima Chakra tt mat He didn’t ask for an opinion, he asked for help. Can you help him find one or not? I’ve been looking to replace my mat, I’d be interested in this also. | |
| Mofi Controversy So you would be OK if a gas station told you it was high octane gas, charged you the high octane price and it was really low octane? I’d bet you’d be really angry. It’s fraud. It doesn’t matter that you could not tell the difference, it’s fraud. I... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Those are two great sounding amps. I went with Luxman, but only because the Luxman had some added features I liked that the Hegel did not have. Sound-wise? The Hegel might have an edge on controlling/powering full range floor standers, due to the ... |
