| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits it is hard to imagine buying a $40,000 pair of cables for $100 and thinking it’s the real thing........................................yes, but do they sound $39,900 TIMES better. Stupidity is what it is. There are miniscule to non-existent gai... | |
| Emphasis on stereo but need a complete solution. @moverton99 , the one higher up from the RX-A2A....i.e., the RX-A4A is what you may need with preouts for all channels. It is on accessories4less for $799, full price is usually around 1400. Fidelity levels will improve depending on how h... | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? I am not going, but, my older daughter who lives in the Chicago area may make it to the show for a day, it appears. She’s interested in a 1 box solution (streamer+dac+amp) upgrade from what she currently has. I suggested that she check out the ne... | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? I’m considering the following speakers: Vandersteen Treo CT, Wharfedale Elysian 4 (perhaps too big for my room), Monitor Audio Gold 300 and the Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII. These all fit within my budget. What are your thought about any of these...o... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits I read about the fakes and since I had a pair of Nordost Odin 2 interconnects for a while I bought a pair of fakes from AliExpress. No, they do not sound like the real thing or are they constructed of the same materials. How did you determine t... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Cables are like my mother in law... They make a difference everywhere in my house. ( she is everywhere anyway near 100 😊) Hifi cable ---> rejects noise well. Mom-in-law ---> spews noise all over the place Big difference between mom-in-l... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! Attention is the currency of social media. When these outlets collide with the world of audio, you have three simplistic approaches to drawing attention. One is the “look what I just found, it’s just the thing you need to be completely satisfied ... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! I recall sitting in that Mofi room with a speaker built to a strict budget in a very suboptimal room. That guy seemed to know enough to beat out 6 figure rooms in that show. The Borresen room (from guys who seem to really know what they’re doing)... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! If an exhibit room sounds good it is. But if it sounds bad you don’t know why. Is it the setup. Is it brand new gear that needs breaking in? I could go on. If you don’t know why then negative comments hurt the equipment and you really don’t know ... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits Well, it is very possible that the Nordost hineymonkey buys it from China for 65 bucks and sells it to some audiogon savants for 65000. As soon as you see Nordost’s 65k price tag, bow down, provide your standing ovations, pay the 65k and..... vis... | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 I’ve found them too "hot" sounding over longer durations in being more forward and incisive in their sonic nature than my own system. To by fair, in many ways the 4367’s are delightful speakers; exhilarating, energetic, honest, clean, extremely i... | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 Dear @deep_333 : My room geometry is not easy to use the Harman calculator, these are more or less the dimensions/shapes: as I posted my apartment has 2 parlors from the entrance door. First parlor where is not seated the system its wall distanc... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! I would much rather the manufacturers themselves came out on YT or Audiogon, disclosed their affiliations and said what’s great about their product. I would be delighted to hear directly from guys like Michael Borresen, Levinson, etc getting into... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! I don’t watch youtube and didn’t watch this. but is is indeed hard to find a negative review. The exception is the measurement site that posts negative reviews of high end equipment as clickbait. I get the fact that most of these YT guys are pr... | |
| Will accidental max volume damage a speaker? Most multichannel equipment will have a "max volume" restrictor and " initial volume" for playback setting built into the software. Set those 2 settings appropriately to safe levels. But, if you are a 2 channel 1 knob and no features kinda guy, l... |
