| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to Her album "New York City" with the Peter Malick group is a must have for any audiophile, one of my favorites... Also she did a track called "More than this" on the excellent Charlie Hunter album Songs from the Analog Playground which is great, get... | |
| The Right Speaker Cables Hey havocman , I go by my ears, not OFC vs OCC or by measurements , and for low level Acoustic Zen has been my favorite for a very long time, running Absolutes between my DAC and preamp and Matrix Reference preamp to amp... also Krakatoa power co... | |
| The Right Speaker Cables My vote is Anti Cables, they are hands down the best affordable speaker cables. I just upgraded to the new Level 4.2 flex model and it was about $500, and they are very noticeabley better then the level 3.1 anti-cables I’ve had the last couple yea... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC I recently upgraded to a Aurender N150, I'd go with them, thing is built beautifully, and sound is phenomenal, dead quiet and I put 500 CDs on the internal SSD in .wav and they sound better than ever. I used to have a Sonos Connect mod wright and... | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear I’m all about lighter weight gear, I’ve had 120lb Sonic Frontier tube amp, big heavy Brystons, Odyssey... Then I found Channel Islands Audio, my current setup is a E-200 stereo amp that weighs about 15-20 pounds and it’s great I changed all the f... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I have used and installed many Genelec's, I've always thought they are great sounding, low distortion, play very loud cleanly and are boring. They are pretty flat response and I guess they work well in a dedicated theater application which is wher... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna Prima Luna is nice, but it’s still made in China.. personally I try to keep Chinese stuff out of my Golf bag, out of my HiFi, and definitely not on my wrist... I was at the Long Beach audio show and one of the best amps and most beautiful I heard... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Cande Y Paulo ... self titled album, its just amazing, one of the best things I’ve heard in a long time... It's a Argentinian Duo, the singer is this girl Cande that also plays the stand up bass.... everyone with a good system needs to play this a... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... One of the most insanely badass albums I've been listening to lately is Cande y Paulo, it's mind blowing... She is amazing... Honorable female vocal albums mention goes to London Grammar, Lake Street Dive, This is the Kit... All incredible female... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement I heard the Aavik systems at the Long Beach audio show a couple months ago... It was fantastic, but the amp alone is $30k+, it better sound incredible ... A little too "clean" and sterile maybe, but very powerful, tight, clear... Was it the most ... | |
| IsoAcoustics Gaia w/MAGICO I ended up returning them, they did tighten up the bass, but the treble was harsher and more fatiguing... Didn’t work for me, difficult to set up too, the design is funky and it can be tricky to get them tight, level, and facing the direction they... | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? My vote is Anti-Cables speaker wires .. they blew away way more expensive cables I had like Audience AU24, and the 3.1’s only cost like $300 or so. I’ve never tried their interconnects. I use Acoustic Zen Absolute RCA's which are amazing but price... | |
| Is this a scam? It’s 1000% a scam, they do this on craigslist all the time. They want your item and they will have their people arrange shipping or pickup or whatever, it’s a fraud scam to rip you off for sure... They run these operations out of India and other p... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- The Oscar Peterson Christmas album... That’s it... Mariah Carey??? Are you joking | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? That's easy, I need a Aurender N100SC streamer, the one with the digital coax output and on board SSD for your library.. That thing is nice, problem is I just picked up a Schiit Yggdrasil and a bunch of Synergistic Research Orange fuses (which are... |
