| Question about speaker angle Vandersteen says to place my speakers (Model 5) facing straight ahead, but I like to toe them in. After experimenting with scores, maybe hundreds, of possible orientations (ask my wife!) I wound up with the speakers facing straight ahead. But now ... | |
| Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup? The PLX-1000 is a really solid performer and you have a great cartridge. If you're not completely happy, try to zero in on where the sound signature of the TT is lacking, and look toward specifically addressing that without throwing the baby out w... | |
| I am so happy..... Good for you! It's all about finding something that makes you happy and allows you to enjoy your own music. You go and be happy! It's so counter-cultural. | |
| Aurender Conductor latest fail… @jl1ny My apologies. Sure glad I dialed back the snark! Petards are everywhere ready to hoist us all. | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? chaletclub Agreed! | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Yes, they do. Well, I do. Jotunheim for my Sennheiser HD800s. Very satisfied. Freya because I wanted remote volume control and source selection and nothing else. I find it transparent in passive mode, and a little more lively in the active modes. ... | |
| Aurender Conductor latest fail… My takeaway: Aurender was responsive and fixed the issue. Quickly, too. It's only been a few days. Can't really ask for much more than that. Apple makes brilliant devices, which I don't use. PC and Android everything. But I'm okay with other kid... | |
| Is system synergy worth having matched components? They sure look really great when they match. All McIntosh, all ARC, all BAT, all Schiit... looks great, and almost certainly compatible. And if that relieves the stress of wondering what if? then it’s a good choice. I was using an SP8 with a VT10... | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? In the end, it depends on who you are. https://www.psychologistworld.com/cognitive/maximizers-satisficers-decision-making And I certainly agree with the advice about treating the room before buying anything else. It's your biggest compone... | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Martin-Logan Monolith IIIx. Ultimately, my bad. Magnificent speakers that could never integrate into my room. Broke my heart. Sent them to Japan to an eager buyer, who paid the shipping! I got off easy, money-wise. | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air Consider a used pair of Revel M106. Musical but not "cool" like the LS50s. I've heard the M106 well presented at a dealer, and have a pair of LS50s in my second system. The Revels have a wide open feeling, like the Heresy, but, to my ear, more pr... | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes H: I did hear a difference and I will get back to you in a few weeks about whether it was an improvement or not. | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided I learned far too late in life that a few weeks spent repositioning our speakers is the most important upgrade you can make. And if you haven’t done that, a new DAC or TT or power cord is really just going to be the answer to an unasked question. ... | |
