| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers @russ69 i would think he needs something decent sounding for the 5 channels of his bed layer (fronts/center/surrounds), i.e., a 5 channel amp. Some compromise could be made on height channels and so on for sure. I personally don't know of a 5 chan... | |
| Good or Best Surge Protector No, don’t even bother with Furman junk. Try this...Keep your things safe and thank me later for the sonic benefit as well (an added bonus). https://power-holdings-inc.com/Keces-IQRP-1500-Balanced-Isolated-Power-Conditioner-p137036186 | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Get the Yamaha A-S1200 integrated. The looks and sound of it are unmatched for 3k. If you want to tinker around with a separate preamp on a future budget, you can run it directly to it’s poweramp section. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/15... | |
| Will this isolation transformer limit power draw? @sean , at normal listening levels he would probably never hit 720Watts. So why would you suggest a minimum of 1000 watts with a very heavy core? | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k @jjss49 I have seen that video before and went with it anyways based on many positive experiences on head-fi.org. I have the Pegasus in my secondary bedroom setup now and couldn’t have asked for something more perfect at a steal of a price.This is... | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k Musician Pegasus R2RORDenafrips Pontus R2RThese 2 DACs are many many notches above all the other crap out there that is priced the same. P.S. if these 2 Chinese DACs are crap, every other Euro/American DAC out there at this pricepoint is absolute ... | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K Considering your requirements (especially tonal/timbre accuracy, dynamics, air, etc) and for your budget, you may find it hard to beat the following two speakers:Technics SB-R1 (16k USD MSRP, you could possibly whittle it down to 13k)Yamaha NS5000... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Oh wait!!! LOL, ROFL, LMFAO Our Klipschieflipshie ruffrider ruffriding (Heeee Hawwww) with a 100 dollar receiver all the way to the Ted Nugent/Kid Rock hall of fame doesn’t sound like he’s heard or had the Adante. I guess he also doesn’t quite und... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? @mofojo , If you’ve got the S-1EX, you should try to get your hands on his Elac Adante as well. It is God like when you pair it with some Pass, Luxman, etc. It retailed for 5k and can be had for much cheaper (steal of the century). The S-1EX was m... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? @inna , Kharma eh? LOL, i rest my case. Why don’t slap your Klipsch instead? Hee Haw LOL | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? First and foremost, Wilsons are a ugly Godforsaken eyesore. I have had them when i didn't know any better and have been glad to be rid of them. If you can get over the hospital machine look/ butt ugliness of them, they are really not that special ... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. Electronics and speakers are at most 50% or less and the other 50% or more is easily the room. But, we seem to have ’know it alls’ like the OP who seem to think the room doesn’t matter. It is kinda funny when guys spend thousands of dollars on pow... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Here's a technical discussion that touches on how many speakers you really need, psychoaoustics and a few different things.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cWPjvBx4H8 | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? @ieales Every recording you ever listened to in life went through a whole lotta "processing" before you bought it. Any DAC you've got is "processing". Your turntable setup is immensely colored. If you don't like processing, forget multichannel g... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? @rauliruegas As far the mastering apparatus is concerned, atmos/dts X/auro mastering suites offer the ability to accurately place all musicians in a 3D soundfield and get away from this 2 channel gimmickery. Unfortunately, as it is fairly new, not... |
