| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers normantaylor, you are demonstrating wisdom and tactfulness. Kudos. Don't worry much about deals that slip by; imo far more important to have agreement with the wife. There is gear all over the place and many ways to get an upgrade. :) | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers tweak1, thanks for your nuanced response. ;) You do realize that is what the "YMMV" is for. As I fundamentally disagree with your perspective that his best move is the amp, and you have neither divine guidance, nor scientific certainty on your opi... | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers The solution is quite simple; speakers first. The reason is that should you upgrade the amp you will only see a different flavor of the current speaker's performance. However, should you upgrade the speakers to a different genre, ie. horn hybrid, ... | |
| It’s that time of year- 2019 audio wish list I wish for a nice listening session regularly with the coffee laced with white chocolate bark and peppermint flavored cream. I will sit (God willing) in my listening chair and enjoy tunes ongoing into the winter of 2020 in good health. Perhaps I w... | |
| Cable septic I am currently reviewing another speaker with a full range driver, which like the Voxativ, and as would be expected, reveals both tone and definition changes due to cables. | |
| Cable septic All audiophile speakers, including Voxativ models, readily reveal cable changes. My findings in comparisons of full range speakers such as the Voxativ (I reviewed the PureAudioProject Trio15 Voxativ for Dagogo.com) is that it is easy to build a sy... | |
| Affordable cables Audiozenology, why should you take offense if some have better hearing. Do you take offense at people who have better sight? Sounds like you have an ego problem. Hopefully not. :( | |
| Trying to find an amp that matches my tastes (aka death metal) EQ is a great way to destroy sound quality. Tube buffer, etc. Kiss definition goodbye. You have been warned. For cleanest path I recommend going Integrated DAC direct to amp(s). I use such a setup lots and it is stunning. | |
| Anybody tried solid silver wire as a jumper on Maggies? Magnepan LRS or other models? Read my review of the Maggie .7 at Dagogo.com, and learn about the jumper problem Magenpan has. Their stock jumpers are junk (that is, if they are still using the ones that appear to be steel). They work, but rob the speaker of much beauty. Absolu... | |
| Which way do I lean... Simply because the Heresy has a stand incorporated on bottom does not mean it can’t be turned to its side. C’mon, people, where’s your creativity?! ;) I find it so refreshing, so interesting to turn speakers on their sides to create a Landscape or... | |
| Where should I put a Syn. Orange fuse to try? No one can tell you the answer to that. If you want the answer, buy enough fuses and compare each component. All other answers are speculation. :) | |
| Any tweaks I'm missing? Trepanation | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance cd318, this was a nice exchange of opinion and thought, and I also appreciate your comments. For your enjoyment, Jack is still doing his Audio Beatnik thing on his own now. If you do a search for Audio Beatnik you will find him. | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance cd318, no, I didn't aim the comment at you, it just happened to follow yours. It was meant as commentary on the entire thread. In response, one time as I am trying to learn not to get entangled in extended arguments/debates in regard to cabling - ... | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? I addressed that question in my review of the Legacy Audio Whisper DSW, a speaker that is configurable as either passive or active x-over. You can find that review at Dagogo.com My final conclusion was that with the same speakers in either configu... |
