| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers I listen to a lot of mono LPs and electrical 78s. Despite 78s inadequacies in frequency range and flat recording response, their dynamics and tonality often are mesmerizing (along with the performances). The sound in my almost high end system, ... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Audiotroy-Are the Vimbergs as easy to drive as a Lumenwhite Kyara or the powered Von Schweikert VR55K? Those are two speakers which I think could replace my Legacy Focus. My room size has decreased to 19’ X 15’ X 10’ net listening area with 17" th... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I own a Tandberg 9000X and Technics 1500, both fine decks. However, I rarely use them anymore other than playback. The Tandberg was used until the mid-80s to make very fine recordings. However, LPs and CDs are just too convenient and only the L... | |
| Used vs New vs Vintage vs Floorstanding vs Bookshelf vs ..... OMG! I think you should start with an easy to enjoy speaker, not necessarily a high end speaker. I use Legacy speakers in a high end system but in your smaller size room, you could be satisfied with Harbeths. They're easy to drive with amps and have ... | |
| How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables? Two other items I found needed break-in: my Sony 940C 75" TV and my KitchenAid 29 cuft. frig. The TV had a overly sharp looking picture. After 30 days, the image smoothed out. Then I calibrated it. The frig was worse as it made many noises, sh... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? I listen to live music, perform and record with several choirs, a chamber group and a full orchestra. If I don't like the music, it doesn't matter to me how good it sounds. | |
| Music lover or audiophile? I am a music lover first. I have 7,000 78s and listen to acoustical recordings as well. My preference for sound extends back to hot sounding 78s from 1925 on. The performance is everything. I've sold 18,000 records in the past 35 years because... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I always believed that the hourly fluctuations in sound quality were the result of the power conditions. That's why most people prefer the sound after midnight. I just love what the Omega E-Mats did to up the sound quality at peak power usage ho... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent I want to make sure that my prior comment was read correctly that the High Fidelity cables sound BAD, not GroverHuffman cables which in the Pharoah generation of the past several years, are tremendous values and high end cabling for speakers, A/C ... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent The High Fidelity cables are the WORST I have ever heard. I am a beta tester for GroverHuffman cables and have found that in multiple systems, they sound BAD. Not good and not just mediocre. I've heard Nordost, Cardas, Shuyata, Transparent, Syn... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Okay, as to the Omega E-Mats which are 1% as powerful as The Gate, I have good news that I didn't realize. I use 12 E-Mats in my system/power panels which resulted in a "night" quality listening 24/7. I didn't realize until now how good my syste... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 When it comes to speakers and electronics, JA measurements correlate to what he hears. The Revel Salon2 speakers review indicated that the speaker is ruler flat (compared to other speakers) and sounds that way. His review of two amps (I think on... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Tidal's Vimberg Tonda speakers at $38K are a lower cost version of Tidal speakers with limited superlative reviews (one who bought a pair). | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? I still have 4,000 LPs and 2,000 78s in storage which I haven't auditioned yet. I have sold 18,000 LPs & 78s over the last 35 years. I made up my own criteria for keeping a recording-I have to want to play it 3 times annually (cannot be done... | |
| Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality I would like to hear the Von Schweikert "affordable" speakers such as the VR55. My wife and I love the Ultra 11 in a $1.4 million setup but we have neither the money nor the space for it. I would like to also hear the Vimberg to compare.From my ... |
