| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. How can young people think about buying an audio system when they can barely afford rent ? | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Have any of you been to a classical music concert recently? Probably exact same age groups, although definitely more females, but not much in the way of young people. We do need some more outreach for classical music too. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @helomech fair enough, I don't have much to add. As much as I enjoyed my time with you fine, internet audiophiles , I do have an incredible Sonus Faber Mcintosh system in front of me playing Beethovens Violin Concerto and other great works that re... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @helomech I mention the ls3/5 not for the size, but the patent that its based on. Presumably, the larger speakers share or borrow a similar design and technology perspective . The sound signature of that design while different carries a sound sign... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Audiophiles have become the equivalent of a car owner smiling while the mechanic charges him thousands for replacing an electronic module that doesn’t exist . The question is, why ? Have they become so eager to be accepted and part of an imagined ... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @donvito while I may sound like I’m railing against those brands, all I really want is lower prices, actual customer service, and better QC if they’re going to use that business model. It’s basic economics. If "it’s not broken, then don’t fix it" ... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @helomech you make fair points, but my point is slightly nuanced and different. Sure, a ls3/5 is a wonderful speaker, I’ve purchased it myself. Now, I’ve never denied that the sound quality can be great, what my issue is the price and value propos... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq Sources are obvious . are you denying that Harbeths line up is composed mostly of LS3/5 based shoebox designs ? Name one innovation or design feature Harbeth implemented in the last 30 years that is materially different than the shoebox s... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq Sorry to break this to you, but your use of sarcasm is just about as boring as a wooden shoe box with a driver attached. Makes sense why you would prefer such a design. But on a serious note, address the argument, Harbeth has consistently... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions You haven't made any substantive arguments to address my points. If you love your speakers that's your right to do so, but I also have a right to point out the vast shortcoming of Harbeth as a speaker company and as a product . I did consider both... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference I just added a SMSL SU-X to my ma352 today. It was only 1k and measures better than most other DACs so I said why not, if it’s a dud I didn’t risk too much money relatively speaking. Well, using the Node as a streamer, I got amazing performance ou... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference Also, I must sat Mcintosh is a wonderful company to deal with. Actual employees who care will pick up the phone and give you straight answers in my experience. I am concerned about Dcs and their threat of suing a young YouTuber for giving a negati... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @yogiboy It has nothing to do with your subconscious racism against the Chinese. I actually purchased a Sonus Faber, Mcintosh system in place of the Harbeth. If you can’t make real arguments against why the Harbeth is overpriced, lacks innova... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference I have several amps that I play around with. I found that the Mcintosh MA352 is very particular to the source, or the streamer and DAC. For instance, running the wiim pro I almost gave up on the Mcintosh and it sounded as poorly as you described. ... | |
| Considering McIntosh MA352 Yes, this David guy is an insufferable troll. He spams the whole internet talking about how he loved the ma352 and it destroyed his Accuphase, to turning bipolar and defaming the product every chance he gets. His dealer or Mcintosh must have got t... |
