| Which Dynaudio or Wilson Speakers for My Room Size? Never heard any Wilson speakers so can't comment but have heard Dynaudio Excite X34's driven by a vintage CJ Solid State amp & tube PreAmp along with the Special 25's driven by several different SS & Tube amp combinations.I can not imagine... | |
| High quality headphone cables - HiFiMAN HE-400i The HE400i is a SUPERB can!They were my first high end headphone & I have compared several cables on them & also direct comparison with several more costly headphones from Quad,Audeze & Sennheiser.I found that cables didn’t really make... | |
| What are the best bang for the buck on higher end headphones? I too like the HiFiMan house sound.I found the Audeze slow & slightly plodding compared to HFM,the Focal too much like the original Senn HD800 on top & not as sweet in the middle.I settled in on the HE6 reissue driven off the 4ohm taps on ... | |
| Computer for home audio USB out to an external DAC.Check out the PC Audio sub forum.. | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone There is a point when listening to music becomes "more"than simply an auditory experience.When you can see the event as well as hear it,suspension of disbelief becomes easy & we are transported into the event..For example a live Rush recording... | |
| A Few Thoughts on The Wonderful Quad VA-One Hi,just good & warm,not hot enough to cause damage to the underside of a close shelf just above it..As good as the amp sounded I had to sell it because I couldn't deal with Biasing new tubes.An upside down,open bottom & powered up amp isn'... | |
| Favorite music list in order This is almost impossible!First thing in the mourning or very late at night I prefer Chamber music,really soft Jazz or even Sounds of Nature.Later in the day it might be Classic Rock from the 60's-80's or Classic Alternative from the 80's.Around d... | |
| Cayin 9084d owners - Help! Most Cayin have Bias Test Points & Adjustment pots on the top plate.I believe yours uses the meter for adjustment,simply turn the screw until the meter is in the sweet spot.Is you model the Mk.I or Mk.II version? | |
| Dynaudio Special 40 or OLD Dynaudio Focus 160? ^^^And I completely disagree!I have lived with the Harbeth Monitor 30.1 driven by KT88/12AX7/12AU7 tubes long enough now to know they can ROCK out with the best!UFO,Thin Lizzy,Zepp you name it,NOTHING is lacking to my hearing.I don’t understand ho... | |
| Terrible Booms I have had great success with Auralex Acoustics isolation pads & they are cheap compared to what you've already tried..Good luck. | |
| Robb Report ^^^ Truly memorable replies! | |
| This is good. First off I NEVER ever allow ANY influence from what mainstream listeners enjoy to dictate what "styles"music I enjoy so trying to attach a "why" based on ANY outside influence is like a dog chasing it's tail..Second this crap ONLY applies to "sh... | |
| Robb Report THIS is EXACTLY the mentality in audio that needs to DIE!!! So what some magazine that tries to con buyers into drinking the PRICE=Sound Quality coolaid that keeps mans.of so called HEA components & the B&M dealers,who rely on overpriced/o... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth ^^^ 1.Demo'd Orchestra in 2012 & I stand by my assessment of build quality!Thin top plate flexed with minimal pressure,tube sockets were crooked & don't get me started about having to take the amp,turn it upside down & remove back plat... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth I just have to LMAO at EVERY reply that states how whatever SS amp "sounds like tubes" "stages or images like tubes","does what tubes do" blah blah blah! I demo'd Jadis years ago & IMO build quality was a JOKE,thin,flimsy top plate,cheap tube ... |
