| Music Server Advice I had a Grimm in my system a couple weeks ago. While it is a good sounding unit it was not competitive with mid and upper tier Aurrender. I thought the Grimm had a very good midrange but came up short on the upper end… not being as refined and had... | |
| Returns I’m afraid $60 would not be making money for Crutchfield. They have to have someone process your return, refund your money, receiving processes the physical return, inspects it, it, someone puts it into inventory, then it must be advertise an open... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Reviewing this string it dawned on me, if I was to do over from scratch I would actively find a Shindo system and see if that would inspire my choice of direction. I have never heard one, but always have wanted to. | |
| How do I know if my systems any good? Is your system engaging and satisfying? I am retired and listen about three hours a day and have to tear myself away each night. My system is the result of 50 years of research, effort, and investment. A generality. Regardless of how good your... | |
| What is "immersiveness" in audio experience ? I understand what you are going for here. From my experience I would go at it from a different direction. To me poor rhythm and pace is the major factor that prevents immersion. You can have incredibly holography without immersion. So, for me, the... | |
| New Custom Turntable Wow. | |
| ROOM TREATMENTS Wow. That is an amazing system. Like all of high end audio there is theory and practice. Experimentation is probably the best way. Looking at your venue. I would look to dampen behind your system… heavy wool rugs behind. Tube traps in the corn... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? Yes, retirement can be seminal in enjoying your system. It has been for me… five years retired and fifty years of being an audiophile. I had started on moving from a very resolving system to a musical one about ten years ago after having season ti... | |
| Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices. No, they are not that bad. You must compare the value of the sound created using tubes compared to temporary market changes. Tubes are not going away. All my equipment is tubed. I purchased a replacement tube set for each. This means that ... | |
| I need Hign compliance cartridges Koetsu makes outstanding cartridges. I have a Rosewood Signature… outstanding. I don’t know about compliance, I let my dealer deal make sure what I buy is compatible with my system. It is. | |
| Analog vs Digital on albums from the 60's and 90's What vinyl or digital sounds like completely depends on your system. What the recording sound like on an excellent system vary greatly. The late 1950’s and ‘60s have the most incredible recordings ever made. 1956 - 1963ish. If you have not heard ... | |
| Bought A Set of Martin Logan CLX ART Its Going To Be An Adventure Congradulations! I am sure you are in for a great treat. I was really into planar speakers for about thirty years. There is an incredible magic to them. During that time, I came so close to buying Martin Logan’s on so many occasions. Enjoy. | |
| Dumb Question I see you named your system but put no info under it. To respond helpfully we will need to know your system and venue. That would be really helpful. But I’ll try and say a few things. A SACD or CD player is a physical transport, streamer and D... | |
| Best Amplifier & Speakers combo? Just out of interest, have you hear this equipment? There are different flavors at every price point ($1K - $100K). Choosing the one that really connects with you is what is important. There is not an absolute better… like maybe which car accelera... |
