| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? Musicality. Anything else is a complete waste of time. Cheers. | |
| If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it… I ask my wife to always remind me why I got into this hobby when I start talking about new components. "You told me to remind you that it's music first and gear second." We all get caught up in the allure of the latest shiny object and wonder if i... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO It appears to me that it was just intended to waste everyone’s time. Typical. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO REL is made in China though. That for me is a big problem It seems that you have your decision already. Buy the JL Audio since being made in America is a priority. Cheers. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Every time someone tells me that I shouldn’t buy a specific product because they don’t like it increases my chances of buying said product. All because you are telling me not to do it. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I know you are inquiring about REL and JL Audio, but you might consider looking at Rythmik Audio subs. They use servo driver technology. I have their FV18 for music and home theater. It's fantastic for both. Regards. | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver My primary speakers for years in my 2.1 channel system were a pair of Voight Towers with Fostex FE-206 full range drivers. I added a Fostex FT17H Horn super tweeter to the speaker just to see if I could expand the soundstage a little more. I had a... | |
| How long is it taking to receive a preamp? I lucked out with the McIntosh C2700 that I picked up back in late July. I only had to wait 4 weeks from the order date with my dealer only because it was ordered for the store and was in the que. He told me amps were taking 8-12 weeks and pre-amp... | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? Social media has turned most people of the world into the crazy prophet standing on his soap box at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park. It has provided everyone the ability to shout at strangers without repercussions. That lack of repercussions has erod... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope I have heard that Weasel Grease has better performance in colder temperatures than Snake Oil. I think that is a good choice with winter approaching.Cheers! | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics @three_easy_payments And now I’d like to hear how people feel those areas (among ALL others) fit into an audiophile’s overall prioritization. I am happy to share my view as someone who just acquired decent components for the first time. I don't... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Monophonics - It's Only Us (instrumental) on Qobuz hi-res. Fantastic album. | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? I really enjoy reading through this kind of discussion. I am new to tube preamp/amp ownership and I honestly had no good information on how to approach the maintenance. I have been turning my system on about 15-20 minutes before I start playing mu... | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics I really appreciate all the feedback. Thanks. This place can be difficult to navigate for new members, but it is worth the effort. Cheers! | |
| McIntosh Tube vs SS w/ Sonus Faber Aida II The McIntosh dealer I recently visited had a pair of Sonus Faber Aidas powered by a C1100 and a pair of MC611s. It sounded effortless to me. The Aida speakers are beautiful. In person they look like they been sculpted. The craftsmanship is fantast... |
