| 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 ... | |
| Moderately priced audio I have put together at least a dozen inexpensive ($1000) to moderate priced (under $2500) audio systems for friends over the years. I purchase used equipment in almost all instances, with turntables and cartridges often being purchased new. The ... | |

| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I don't listen to my audio systems at low levels, but a minimum of 70 db to a max about 100 db on rare peaks. Sometimes I have friends and want to have music as background levels but retaining the tonal richness and dynamic contrasts. I hope to ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I waited 3 years until I decided to purchase a new TV, a 75" Sony 940C over the LG OLED, both top of the line. The Sony gives me at least 30 degree excellent picture quality and combined with the size, five people can easily have a great picture ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 markalarsen Narrow sweet spot is number one reason I stopped having stats 25 years ago. Number two was bass. Number three was dynamics. Three strikes and you're out (not mentioning the power/current needed to drive them). I like the sound of ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I only read up to page 5, but I have to chime in. I spent a week in Newport NJ which is adjacent to Jersey City. Jersey City was okay, Newport was superior. I felt relatively safe in Jersey City downtown at night. I'm from Los Angeles and was ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Enjoyable, yes. Audiophile quality, no. There's more than loving and enjoying music to being an audiophile. There's a lot of music you are missing at the near bottom end (pricewise) of music reproduction equipment, you either don't know it or ... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers I prefer partially self-powered speakers, for built in bass power only. I'm looking at Von Schweikert Aktive series and have heard their Ultra series. Great speakers. Legacy audio offers similar type speakers with DSP as well. Full active spea... | |
| What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1? The lower powered Sherwood 7100 & 7100A beat the pants off Sherwood 7200 and 7300. The Yamaha CR 620 is also easily better sounding than the CR 1020 and 2020. I know, I tried several of each model. Sure they're older receivers, but the low... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? I've played some LPs 100s of times (well at lest 100-200) and they are close to or about the same sounding as when I purchased them for use on higher end equipment. The quality of the vinyl is very important if the equipment is correctly aligned.... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 On 1080 versus 4K TVs, I specifically waited to move up to a high end TV ($6K) when the color greatly improved from 1080P LCDs to 4K LCDs (my Sony 940D). Resolution improved where I can sit further away by a few feet but it was the superior color... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? Ralph, that's is exactly what happened when I upgraded my phono/pre-amps. The solid state 70's and 80's phono/pre-amps illuminated the pops and clicks. I couldn't believe how quiet my LPs got after switching to a high end subminiature tube set ... |
