| Julien Baker - Vocal-centered Music. I put on some of her music using my Grados, the low end SR80 and then my 1000, I enjoyed her in both. I also have Audeze cans which to me made her sound a little dark. However, if you check around many people dislike Grados, so try them or get a r... | |
| New Gear I can only tell you my experience with HT. When I went to HT, I got rid of some very nice 2 channel equipment. Although the HT was high-end (McIntosh) and sounded great in 5.1, I never thought it sounded good in 2 channel. I do not think it was du... | |
| Denon Flat sounding & Lifeless compared to Yamaha Yes, I had a Denon for years, it had very positive reviews and was highly recommended, but always sounded “lifeless”, thin is a good word for it. Went through three different speakers in that time also and it made no difference. Switched to a Luxm... | |
| What kind of listening chair Millercarbon is spot on. And it fits well with his philosophy that “everything matters”. In this case, comfort. | |
| Analog Lp I have found the new 180 gram records sound much better then older pressings. Quieter, more dynamic. I have compared them to my 30 year old records (kept mint) and also brought some replacement ones still sealed after 30 years and compared them to... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I’ve had a Vault 2 for well over a year now and love it. They were quick to answer my questions, I hope they take care of you too, as I’d hate to think their product or company is slipping. | |
| 4 speakers/2 channels I had a surround sound (Mcintosh AVR) with Totem Rainmakers in the front, and KEF 'eggs' for the center and back. When I went back to just stereo, I had for a while the Rainmakers in the front, no center and the rear were the KEFs. Although the so... | |
| Substantial Upgrade @bruinuclafan - it was the price/quality equilibrium as you so well state. For instance, I only stream for background music and finding new music, if I listened more 'seriously' I would invest in a better streamer. Same with the choice of TT. It s... | |
| Late Night Jazz Just listened to Ben Webster’s Soulville 5 times in a row. Don’t know how I never heard it before. Might go for a sixth. Thanks for that recommendation. Thanks to the OP of course. | |
| Substantial Upgrade I just got the P6 with their MC for $2300. No set up issues at all and sounds great out of the box. If I listened to more vinyl, like it sounds you do, I would have gone one step up, such as say the P8 or 10 or the Doctor with the higher priced H... | |
| A DAC to help overcome compressed music? Thanks all, some good suggestions that I will look into. Mahler123, you nailed it. I was wondering if others found that happening to them and it wasn’t just me - or if there was, perhaps a magic bullet. | |
| A DAC to help overcome compressed music? I was not specifically looking for a DAC. I was overall looking to improve sound of some favorite music that, as another poster mentioned, was purposely recorded a certain way to sound “good”for lower quality sound systems. Which ends up sounding ... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i deleting or changing an album I have that issue sometimes. I just responded to another thread that when it happens, I used a media tag editor (Mediamonkey) to fix any missing covers or info after loading it onto the bluesound. Luckily it's rare that it happens, but the softwar... |
