| What do audiophiles do in their cars? @jjss49 great point. So many memories of building “systems” in cars when the concept of “separates” started to happen. I had the back seat of a VW Bug filled with 2-12’s and 2-10’s in a fully custom box I built. My dad is a custom cabinet, woodwor... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I’ve got an Alpine/JL Audio/MB Quart system in my Jeep. It’s ok but the Jeep speaker placement is challenging at best. In the P-car I’ve got a Kenwood system, but the flat 6 sounds way better so the car stereo is mostly background noise. The other... | |
| How do you listen? 75-85db is comfortable. At times I push it, but usually there. | |
| New Node User - Help me understand the signal chain with various sources Anything Apple will be airplay, but will be more stable with the hardwired connection. As mentioned, music services need to be “added” to the Node through subscription services. Most of the big players are supported, with Pandora being the excepti... | |
| What do you think is the best integrated amplifier under 1000 Parasound newclassic…https://www.crutchfield.com/S-5B8o6HEwZQN/p_313NC200PR/Parasound-NewClassic-200-Pre.html?awcr=773782...= | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? A kick ass system (whatever the cost) doesn’t care what is played through it… a somewhat insulting question assuming heavy metal is too low brow to deserve a great system. | |
| If you had $2500 to spend on a new TT and cart.....what would you buy? Brainless, nearly plug and play, I would agree with the Rega Planar 6. Sounds excellent overall especially for the $$. You can play with cartridges if you want, but the out of the box package is very good. | |
| Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k Used…Pass Labs Int-30aPass Labs Int 25 (pushes the 5k mark even used)Hegel H390 and H190Simaudio Moon i7New but slightly less overall…Parasound Hint 6 or Halo, Hint is a tad betterPeachtree Ints are good to, but geared a bit more toward digital IMO | |
| unkonw WILSON speaker That would be the R2R4 model. | |
| To clean or not to clean... Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. I usually wait till I have a “batch” to do, so to speak. Then I clean them. For me, the biggest thing is how much static a new pressing can have. Some do, some don’t. I don’t think it is the end of the world for ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @big_greg… wow, balls of steel admitting you are listening to a lowly MP3. Dang! :-) | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Radio Paradise, Bluesound Node MQA… really fun way to randomly discover music! | |
| How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music? Here’s the thing… if an instrument or voice is recorded, it’s processed. Period. There will always be some sort of EQ, effects or otherwise present on any recording. The only exceptions are recordings done in halls with open room mics. Even then, ... | |
| Looking for new speakers for large audio room @shawarma, you said you run A, as in singular, XA 60.8? Or a pair? Those are monoblock amps. So your post is slightly confusing. They should have plenty of power to drive maggies, or most anything really. Run the REL line array setup… try it. You’... | |
| Budget 15' interconnect recommendation @hifi28 you could coaster the table and isolate the TT in other ways if need be. All sorts of options for that. Frankly, carpet on concrete won’t be an issue IMO. As long as you use a solid table/stand setup, putting it on coasters would be fine. ... |
