| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? KNGhifi- you should call me sometime -. We can talk about TAD's and 911's, which we see to both have a penchant for. | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? Pehaps I can add some perspective. I currently own the CR1’s and was a TAD dealer around 2010 (which was a dismal time in the economy). I would be happy to demo them in our large sound room here in Mahattan for anyone thinking of buying TAD’s. I h... | |
| PS Audio BHK Signature preamplifier I'll mention I'm in NYC and a PS Audio dealer as well. I have bhk 300 Mono blocks and DS dac in for people to hear and will have the preamp in as well. Triodepicturesound. The latest PS gear is a massive bargain. Never heard my TAD CR1'S sounds... | |
| Just wondering... I loved the story of the loaned CD player where the friend couldn’t hear the difference, but the owner could. I think that’s what often involved with tests to see whether or not high res makes a difference. (Of course it could be the system itself... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? While I have found that herb (vaporized) can be a nice enhancement while listening, I feel that natural endorphins are the best. Case in point, last night I was at a jazz club in the west Village here in NYC with a new Tinder date, a lovely Japane... | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? I hope MQA never gets off the ground. It's not that the format is flawed, just the people who created it. The original plan was to also allow streamers to unpack it and send high res to the DAC of your choice. Since they now chosen to remove ... | |
| NY Audio Show For me there were several things at the show I was excited to hear . First was the Kii all in one speaker system, which I thought was a knockout. Perfect for the audiophile who doesn’t want a complicated system or for a steller bedroom system. The... | |
| Why warm amps sound better. To add my 2 cents. When I was a kid we left my friend’s Fender Champ guitar amp in the trunk of my hot car for a few hours.when we plugged it in it sounded better than it ever had. The BHK 300 amps (dealer alert) have a solid state section meant t... | |
| Sanity test before you start this hobby I think maintaining sanity is as long as the hobby leads you closer to music and allowing you to enjoy it fully rather than detract. | |
| Outer Platter Rings I have noticed benefits using an external vaccum mat in the past and now with the TTweights brass center weight and periphery ring.the ring has weights which add a flywheel effect as well. Perrazi pointed out that the label is thicker and isn't t... | |
| Does the magnetic levitating platter make all other designs superfluous.No bearings! Funny,. I was just reading this desciption of the top VPI table, which included this ..."The bottom bearing is an oil bath, the PEEK thrust disc on the bottom bearing takes the full 30 pounds total of both platters. We tried levitating the drive p... | |
| Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ? I have found having a sub helps to find that Magic volume where things sound real, even if not that loud. Funny someone mentioned pioneer hpm series. I used to own the hpm100 as a teenager also. I eventually rewired that speaker bypassing the t... | |
| Let's see or discuss your desktop speakers! I actually have 2 desktop type speaker systems. The one I use for my non linear video edit suite is the Genelec 8020 self powered bi amp speakers that I use with a sub and sometimes without. The other is a blue sky EXO-2 (also self powered and com... | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? Well I'm partial to hybrids now that have to BHK 300 mono's. (Dealer alert!)But JoInid who has owned many of the top amps both tube and SS just posted on ps audio's site - something to the effect that it's the best amp he has heard. | |
| Tinnitus remedy? Perhaps we can do our own little study with oxytocin to see how well it works. Anyone else up for it ?of course to do it for real we'd need a control group... I.e someone would have to buy the pills and find a placebo that looked the same and sen... |
