| Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge I have the 30.2s, although I cannot compare them with the Falcons, I can say I compared them with speakers up to $14k and still brought them. I listen to a lot of vocal, acoustic, blues and jazz, plus a very small amount of classical. I have poste... | |
| TECHNICS 1700 MK II or AR -XA or Reco kut - N 33H One vote here for keeping the Technics. | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? I live in a big city and three out of the four places are just horrible, incompetent sales people mainly. One charges for his 'advice' and claims his advice is on the order of a Medical Doctor. Yeah, right. The other won't let you listen to any mu... | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? I had a similar problem, although it only totaled about 100 CD's. After I made sure I had two compete HD backups, including one in fireproof file cabinet, best bet is to give them away locally. I gave mine away to folks who were more interested in... | |
| PS Audio Nuwave DSD DAC They are still around. Try going through their website support ticket, I have their DAC and never had a problem contacting them and getting an answer to any questions. Hope this helps s bit. | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? When I sold stereo equipment in the 1980's, we had a Cerwin Vega knock off (5 inch woofer, ported, etc) that was all boom and highs. Sounded great to the teenagers who came in for their first stereo and played the latest Alice Cooper, AC/DC or Le... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? You don't need to spend a lot to get soundstage or depth. First time I heard it was with in the1980's Marantz 2035, Pioneer turntable/Shure cartridge and Advent speakers. Of course the more money you spend the better it is. My Harbeth 30.2 and Lux... | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions No mention of Pat Metheny, his first album was the first Jazz Album that really got me to listen to Jazz. I still think it's his best, but they are all enjoyable. In fact, I think I'll give his first album a spin right now. | |
| What's all the fuss about late 70s and earl 80s run of the mill midfi turntables? Wow, I had a Philips 212 - I loved that table. Not that it sounded amazing, it was fine with the AT cartridge I had, but my friends were just so jealous. It was cool looking overall, then with the strobe, and the best, it also had those touch lit ... | |
| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? I do believe exercise improves my audio system. I can relax more knowing I am taking care of myself, and also less worry about sitting too long listening. No sports drinks, a good blended scotch. Otherwise, I hear Sour Diesel is really good. My w... | |
| Women Who Rock I saw Wendy O. back in the 80's - I haven't been the same since. I still have at least one 45 record of hers that is stashed someplace. The jacket is amazing. Some great artists listed here, even if the OP didn't mean for anyone to create a list.... | |
| Lend me your ears... I own the Aurender N200, and love it. But although the Aurender DAC is very good, I went with their N series so I could upgrade my outboard DAC whenever I wanted. just something to think about, especially as you mention outboard DACs with your oth... | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there +1 on trying Luxman, I have the 590AXii which is their class A integrated and the sound is just lovely. Nothing to complain about. I don’t have room right now for their model 900 amp, but I would if I could. | |
| Amapiano Music Thanks @kota1 Fun Music, the video's are fun too! | |
| Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers! I had a Velodyne that was at least 15 years old, it was great for surround sound with movies, but even though room filling, it didn't seem to do 2 channel very well. I turned the movie room into just a music room about 2 years ago and replaced the... |
