| At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections? OK folks, we can cease and desist on this post. Save your time. | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube This is like asking is MQA good or not. Re. @curtdr and @pedroeb comments... anyone who thinks Mr. Amir isn't "... irrelevant opinionated egotistical jackass garbage." (and there's no need for this kind of commentary in the audiophile world imo)... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Forgive me, one more suggestion. Go XLR balanced cables for every component. Game changer. | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Exciting process! I began this audio journey in earnest late 2019. Lots of points already stated that I would concur, Robert Hurley's book is a must. I still refer to it from time to time. 1. Enjoy the learning. This isn't a "one and done" thing... | |
| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? 1. Loved @nonoise reply. @aewarren is a clear 2nd place winner. I was thinking a discarded barber chair design competition for high school art class. 2. Why? 3. Who cares? 4. Technically, is gold a current in interior design trend? FYI the bro... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? As always, the forum community is like the "Eye of Sauron" or if there was such a thing, the "Ear of Sauron": omniscient and never wrong in their opinions. Some comments are helpful and kind but it can be interesting. Discussions re. vinyl v. CD v... | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? Dear @desktopguy my comments re. V1 Leap - having owned them as well - is due to my experience only. I had several of the V1 and a) they are very bulky and heavy, b) the v2 not only lightened the chair, but it enhanced some of the ergonomic comfor... | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? Aesthetics aside, I've found the Steel Case Leap V2 (version 2. The V1 is no good) is a remarkably comfortable and offers the most adjustable chair I've used. I have purchased them for home office / listening, personal office, etc. I like the clot... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects This topic will never be "resolved." Endless opinions, "research", (YouTube posts), and user experiences... lend to a bottomless pit. I've owned Audioquest, World's Best (I have World's Best on my headphone amp / DAC balanced set up) but my curren... | |
| Speaker Questions Jamo S 809 I’ve had Polk (a few different models) and they are fine but I think you’ll find a more dynamic range / soundstage if you shop around a bit. Polk has very good midrange, but their bass can be mushy/boomy, not crisp. I was a skeptic but ... | |
| Room help You may (or may not) find this helpful. Since Audiogon won't allow links... search "Wilson Speaker Placement" in your preferred browser. Additionally, search "The Four Secrets of Speaker Placement" by Robert Harley, printed in "the abso!ute sound"... | |
| Boutique or Big Brand? 1. That's a great range for a set of speakers. 2. I won't mentions brands I have purchased, owned... because there are so many variables. 3. To your question, I'd add, check on customer service. I've had some products that needed service - good... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. At the end of the day I fall back on Hans Beekhuyzen's closing remark on all his YouTube reviews, "And whatever you do, enjoy the music". If you have a small circle of audiophiles (by which I mean folks who love music, love to actively listen, enj... | |
| Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality? Lots of smart folks offering opinions. I'm in the same throes debating whether to add something other than the Furman ELITE15 PF i Linear Filtering AC Power Conditioner that I own. Before I dive into a more expensive component, I'm having a dedica... | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 Have you considered the McIntosh MA352? I'm extraordinarily happy with mine. https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/brand/news/MA352-Hi-Fi-World |
