| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) The enclosures are a custom balanced force design. ? Never heard of ’force balancing’ with just the enclosure...unless you meant something else. You will need a dual opposed driver config. Examples Rythmik G22: Dual opposed 12 inch Rythmik G... | |
| speakers and cables No budget sub or expensive sub i’ve torn into has ever had anything for ’bass management’. If your sub has both speaker level in and speaker level out terminals, it is just a straight passthrough. In a hi-fi application, you don’t want to use tha... | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina In some ways, the listening position<->back wall is a more important distance than the front wall <-> speaker to create envelopment, immersion etc, which is where your 14ft is very restrictive. But, you are not alone, there are guys wi... | |
| Borreson X2 I have a X6 Pros: super resolving, clarity, quickness, dynamics, bang 4 buck Cons (relative, compared to a couple of other speakers in a similar price bracket): Instruments sound more like instruments on my Yamaha (NS5000). It doesn’t image ... | |

| dac recommendations for turntable listener? @palutena, what you needed from day 1 was a dac or streamer with a parametric eq (PEQ) feature. Fo example, the Wiim pro plus is a 200 dollar streamer with a 10 band PEQ feature. Use it to bump up the mids, lower the highs, etc all with very wide... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming While some parts of the frequency range sound really good (bass, mid-bass, lower mids, e.g.), when we get to the range where vocals live and above, the sound loses fidelity and definition. Things sound fuzzy and muddled, especially if the music i... | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Budget is $10k. See if some TAD dealer will come down a bit in price and give you a TAD d1000tx for 10k. It can also be used as a standalone end-game dac with streaming gear, i.e. try and hit additional birds with one stone. Esoteric and Luxma... | |
| Time to change Try the Sony Bravia Theater Quad with Sony’s 360 reality audio. They also sell a matching sub with it...no clutter. Andrew Robinson YT Review | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? For all those saying that you need at least 10K as an entrance fee to good sound, just keep saving and you’ll get to this range. https://futureaudiophile.com/how-many-audiophile-whales-are-there-really/ @simao, there are lot more 'unawakened' ... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @deep_333 So sorry you can’t enjoy music in you car anymore. When I’m mowing the lawn, music through the earbuds does make the time go by. Or when I’m in my car, I still tap my toe and slap my thigh to the beat, but I definitely prefer listen... | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax A stock Forte 4 and AR i50 is not resolving enough to easily reveal differences in digital coaxes. But, you could try an Ansuz cable, which could sound a bit more detailed (after pulling teeth) and maybe offer a slightly different tonal balance i... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? Don't get me too wrong, I can sometimes kind of enjoy listening to iphone when I have nothing better at the moment. Yes, this is audiophile forum and standards should be high enough. $10k is not much really. @inna ...This is more along the lin... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? Let us presume that this is an enthusiast forum and a lot of us have some ’over the top’ gear. On the topic of speakers, my observation has been that one needs a huge room and has to be listening at rocketship level spls to truly "get their money... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? Let’s not be ridiculous. Good sound has a cost and it should. I don’t think there is anything under $10k-$15k that would qualify. Assuming one source. @inna I totally understand that..., but, frankly or somehow, i either managed to lower my exp... |
