| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 Good point onhwy61.When I heard the Wilsons and GoldenEar, the set up was not the best, but I have to say the Wilson's were in a class above the GoldenEar, so much so, that I wondered why they are so highly esteemed. The dealer kept saying how the... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Phew, what a discourse...I have to say I am on the side of Oregonpapa, I have no electrical engineering experience either, but I have to say switching to the Hifi Tuning fuses made a difference to the sound my stereo produce. I only bought the fus... | |
| Old-school, and the quest for musical nirvana Okay, I'll bite...What equipment are we talking about? - As in, what equipment do you love vs. what new equipment you find 'amusical'? | |
| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 I have listened to the Golden Ears and the Wilson Sabrina. The Wilson's were hands-down better in my opinion. (I haven't heard the Sophias, but I would buy a pair if the price was right).As mlsstl said, opinions are a dime a dozen, so YMMV. If you... | |
| Holiday Today Finally got it.Guess I'm a bit too old fer you yungters with all yer dang silly talk....B | |
| Buying Without Audition I guess I am ’old school’ now.The internet has opened things up for audiophiles. ’Back in the olden’ days’, you had to visit shops and spend hours listening (which was fun), now you can review the experiences of others and make an educated guess w... | |

| UPS and FedEx freight shipping reliable? For what it is worth, I haven't had any bad experiences with either UPS or Fedex, even USPS.If you do pack the item, pack it well. I was told by SMc, to account for a 5 foot drop, should the shipping container be empty. With that said, pack your i... | |

| Power Cord Length As a relative newcomer, I may be out of line, but I really hate it when the original question gets lost and rancor and animosity lead us down the slippery slope to nowhere.Either agree to disagree or just let it go....Please. | |
| Power Cord Length dbtom2- not bad...Hopefully, almarg will post on this. He usually has the ability to answer these questions with scientific acumen.In my humble opinion, I would use a power cord that is long enough to reach the outlet and component, yet provide en... | |
| Buying Without Audition Great post ejr, I agree.That is why I think the OP should try to visit a high end salon or two, in order to get a feel for what he likes. Reviews and praises from others only go so far when it comes to speakers. | |
| Unconventional speaker setups tboooe, isn't that the fun part of this hobby?In my opinion, even if you do get a dedicated music room, you'll still be tweaking! | |
| New amp for Vandersteen 2CE I just got a Schiit Bifrost Multibit for my PC, and am very impressed with it.-Especially, the price-about $600 bucks. They also have a return period.I also use the McCormack DAC-1 and recommend it highly. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Thanks Almarg, your recommendations are always appreciated.Power in NYS is pretty stable, so there is less difference than folks on the West Coast where I have been told line voltage varies considerably during the day (actually, it was told to me ... |
