| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. The truth is that any audio and music lover, who even briefly experiences the state of the art bass from a DBA, would obviously do whatever it legally or illegally takes to get the money and find the space. The concept works that well an... | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? uberwaltz - Several have told me that those speakers do amazing with cap upgrades. Even with relatively inexpensive caps like Mundorf MKP or Clarity CSA.Best,E | |
| Auto Room Equalization? EQ alone is crap. EQ + Room acoustics can be magical. Best,E | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II I've never heard a Magico I didn't hear significant coloration in, one way or another. I don't mean distortion, I mean choices in the voicing which are unique to them. Mind you, I'm not attacking them, at all. But if you like that particular sound... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. I understand your points but think they’re only partially valid:"Sure, swarms are nice, but not everyone can afford or has the space for them." Unless you happen to not be able to afford the money or the space, in which case they are 100% vali... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Sure, swarms are nice, but not everyone can afford or has the space for them. Also, most people have never heard a great single sub integrated well. The difference in sound quality between a poor sub set up and a great set up is astounding. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @cubmanI'd suggest GIK Acoustics. Great advice, and extremely high value products. | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Room acoustics and EQ matter a huge deal. More so than the sub hardware itself in a lot of cases. | |
| Harbeth vs. Focal - Apples and Oranges... For stand mounts, the Fritz line offers not just an incredible value, but better sound quality. The latest Be tweeter based models will give you the incisiveness you are looking for, with much better mid/bass response than Focal. Also, his tweets ... | |
| Audio output for a non-HDMI pre-amp It will probably be about the same. Do what is most convenient. Of course, the analog out is only 2 channel on the BD player. AFAIK Oppo was the only one to offer a full 7.1 out. Best,E | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Hey 'E' : " ..You can totally see that" ?It's astonishingly amateurish, unprofessional, wrong and insulting.Here was my question: " ..Can you please tell me if the woofer/tweeter are 'bolted-in' (or wood-screwed-in) " It raises alarm bells ? Th... | |
| Preamp caps Jupiter copper foil or Jupiter HT worth double the money? Can some one please send me a pair of 10uF caps to test ??? :D :D :D | |
| Which new amp to get? I'm a real fan of Luxman. Any ARC you buy now will sound pretty different than what you have. Considered an ARC integrated?? | |
| Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s This tip comes out regularly here, and it’s a good one. Q-tips don’t work except to get wax that's already out of the way out of the ear. I suggest body wash, and using the shower head or a syringe to use gentle, constant water pressure against th... | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? Several comments in this thread seem to lament a supposed decline in high end audio but nothing could be further from the truth. The irony here is that in spite of a declining dealer base the luxury stereo business is booming. This is actually... |
