| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd You don't mention where you live. But, have you looked at Zu speakers?They are very efficient and they have models in your price range.Also, they have a trial period, which is a nice option to try them out. | |
| Structural beam in middle of listening room I am no sound specialist, but I suggest trying any combination that is possible.I, too, have an unusual listening situation and found my speaker placement to be 'unconventional', but it works.The structural beam may be a problem, but I would start... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? 57,20,?I had to abandon my hifi addiction when I turned 30 or so, and was stereo-less until last year. It was fun getting back to speed.I think my days of chasing the 'perfect system' have passed, but when I see a good deal and there's money in th... | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? Well, I hate to be an old poop, but I think you could do better than Monster Cables. In fact, if you can swing it ( and I know being a college student equals limited funding- I had student loans, too), I would convert everything to the Bluejeans-W... | |
| If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good? I like to try 'giant killers' in my system. I never had the financial means to afford pricey equipment, so I gravitate to smaller, lower priced manufacturers- though the internet now allow me greater access, thanks Audiogon.I agree with mofimadne... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! jzzmusician, you must be a really nice guy. I think your kids probably had a better childhood because of her-nothing like the continuity of generations in a household. In any case, now you can stream music through the internet and listen to anythi... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce russmaleartist, I don't think this post should be part of this discussion. If you feel the need to express your opinions regarding the transient nature of 'the best', you should create a new thread.Sinewave asked for our opinions regarding the Wil... | |
| Power cords everywhere! Will steel braid help protect audio signal? Are you experiencing any signal degradation or hum?I, too, have a rat's nest of wire, but, thankfully, haven't noticed anything that is degrading to the sound. | |
| Feniks ESSENCE - the world's best computer speaker system The 6 moons review doesn't seem to work.Your speakers look interesting, Any way to audition them in the USA? | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! jzz, I can entirely relate to you. I have been without a real stereo for almost 20 years, too.-Mostly related to starting my own business as opposed to a MIL.I, too, remembered my experience hearing Vandersteen's in my youth.Fast forward to 2016, ... | |
| Dual Purpose Dac? I think Schiit has a model that does what you want. | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! I have the Schiit Bifrost and am loving it. I think think price wise it is a better move than the PS (which I have heard great things about). As mentioned before, they have a return policy. The nice thing about the Bifrost is that it is upgradable... | |
| Tidal streaming needle-drops? It makes me wonder why people are going back to vinyl. Even if it 'sounds' better, those damn pops, and scratches were the devil's work.-Let alone having to get up and cue a new record... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Nice to hear you are liking the Sophia's. Have almost the same gear as you did, and was thinking about a Wilson upgrade route. |
