| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? @mahgister, Huh? No boasting or fad on my side….Quit the blanket accusations, relax and try to think this through for a minute. All I did was share the results of a 20 year long exploration of what can be achieved with well made electronics and sp... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Skip trying to perfect a grossly inadequate number of speakers (i.e 2) for the ultimate music listening experience and go to 5.2.2 atmos setup powered by a good surround processor and amp. Some very smart guys declared that you need a lot more tha... | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Jungson (Zhongshen) is a spectacular sounding homegrown Chinese hifi brand that delivers some great class A amplification at very affordable prices. I have it in two of my secondary setups now. It is only getting beat by my reference Luxman gear t... | |

| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? There have been many technical discussions on the "multi channel stereo" setting available in receivers and pre-pros. In essence, this is the same stereo signal sent to your 5.2 or 7.2 surround setup. It is misunderstood as party mode for non-audi... | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! If there was a BEST SPEAKER, I suppose i wouldn't have a timbre matched 5.2.4 multichannel music setup and 6 other pairs of very different types of speakers for stereo (that also cost an arm and a leg). But, you are truly a fortunate soul to have ... | |
| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! @mahgister I am not making an accusation without proof. I'm just speaking about this eerie feeling i get sometimes. For what its worth, it was deduced (with proof) a couple of years ago on either audioholics or stevehoffman that one very enthusias... | |
| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! Some threads give me a very eerie feeling that it's the owner/sales guy for some brand pretending to be a extremely happy customer!! It is prevalent in many forums these days. | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? Big sound.....- Big speakers like the double impact (say no to bookshelf dinkies)- Concentrics if set up right since they can produce deep immersive holographic soundstages- dual subwoofers- Lots of wood diffusion panels on front and back walls- I... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Anything Klipsch and B&W i've tried before...ugh | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? CD is dead. But, i would personally like for multichannel SACDs and blu-ray audio to explode, since i am a big time multichannel music connoisseur. As more mastering engineers get educated on mastering Atmos/3-D soundfields and folks get exposure ... | |
| DAC as a preamp? @flaxxer Trying to find the perfectly unobtrusive high quality volume control/attenuator/etc solution that doesn’t lose resolution, etc can get expensive quickly. There’s a still a good chance that you may be happy with the Topping D90 on its own ... | |
| DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc) Technics ST-C700 streamer = 1100 USDBudget = 3000 to 4000 USDCost Savings = 1900 to 2900 USDhttps://almaaudio.com/products/technics-st-c700-network-audio-player?_pos=1&_sid=14d50c2a2&_ss=r | |
| DAC as a preamp? @flaxxer. I have the Topping D90 in my bedroom. My reference is a R2R Denafrips Venus that i have in my main room. The Topping D90 is touching the peak of diminishing returns as far as DS dacs are concerned (to my ears). | |
| DAC as a preamp? @georgehifi , sorry to confuse you...If you look at my comment again, you would note that i never referred to it as a true preamp. I referred to it as "preamp mode" (a confounding term), which is what the different manufacturers call it these days |
