| "Good" Music @baylinor Please don’t spare us French-speaking music :) La Femme Christophe Hante. / Minuit Machine Cortex Limousine Mandy Indiana (though technically a British band) Rue Oberkampf (though technically a German band) Éric Lapointe (I kn... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? @dman777 Your speakers+amps pairing should be able to reproduce the quality of bass that’s on the recording. @gdaddy1 and @audition__audio +1 on sealed LF enclosures | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? @g2the2nd Wish all records had the quality of the Sheffield Labs Drums Record. | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? As I write this I a₼ listening to Day of Atonement by Uniform and The Body, on their Everything That Dies Someday Comes Back collab album. Truly impressive bass. For you David Lynch fans, the trash gangsters cruising the Las Vegas subdivision in ... | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? @jafant I could swear I saw posts on one of those "What are you playing tonite?" threads in which you listened to Chopin one minute and Cannibal Corpse the next. If that was in fact you, the breadth of your musical tastes is impressive. | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? @rockadanny Great suggestions, thanks. In my mind How To Destroy Angels has always been the Coil album. Didn't know there was a band by that name. Great bass in How Long?, though. My favorite Nine Inch Nails album is the one everyone else hate... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 This is like the 6th thread OP had started on this subject. He's been told countless times to go audition speakers in person but no, he can't be bothered to drive to the big city and properly audition speakers. Instead he buys speakers based on Yo... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Boring is when everybody looks the same and says the same thing. One of the elephants in the room is that English isn’t @mahgister ’s native language. But that doesn’t stop me from finding value in some of his posts. Yes, some. At the end of the... | |
| Krell CD player replacement @knight7m As far as I know the Krell KPS 20I used a Philips CDM9 Pro transport. Those were quite robust actually. I assume you’ve done the simple stuff like cleaning the laser lens. A company called Enco Systems bought out the remaining supply ... | |

| Sound quality differences in streamers @sns Which mods exactly were you unable to perform in order to make your Mikrotek switch into a Switch X? As an aside, the Mikrotek retails for $270, not $900. https://multilink.us/mikrotik-crs309-1g-8s-in/ Thank you in advance. | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? @mahgister Which Bach work are you specifically referring to? Thanks! | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers the objective is just accuracy. There are no “musical” streamers. @mdalton Allow me to play devil’s advocate 🙂 Lots of people claim to hear sound quality differences between streamers: Some are straight-up legit - either they upgraded a bu... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers In any case, i hope you leave yourself open to the possibility that the digital source of a server or a streamer is as vital and primary to a sound system, as a pre, an amp and speakers are. @kevn Sadly, I am going to have to disappoint you. ... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound @phusis Thank you for your response. Your point about "hifi" bass and what it is / should be about is well taken. I do agree in principle, but I do like some slam too, and I'm not resigned to the two being mutually exclusive. I suspect that lis... |
