| "Can You Lift Yours?" @stringreen Ouch. | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections @michaelalan If you do your research and buy best of class then Streamer ~= DAC ~= Preamp ~= amp. Over time for me again and again my end system after an upgrade ends there. Typically my speakers will be the more expensive than my components. I’... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @laoman No I have not heard AM. It is always hard to address these outlandish claims, because I would have to be a professional reviewer… and with an enormous amount of time on my hands. But I do have fifty years of experience in pursuing high ... | |
| POWER AMPLIFIER FOR LOW TO MODERATE LISTENING My system consists of 90db efficient speakers (Sonus Faber Amati) and a 70wpc (ARC REF 160s in triode mode)… it sounds fantastic at the 65db range. I used to run planars of different kinds, and I don’t remembering them sounding great at that leve... | |
| "Can You Lift Yours?" I now have the lightest amp I have owned since the late 1970’s: 100 pounds. Can I lift it? Well no. But I can move it, put it in a box, or what ever I want to do. I use my problem solving skills, sliders, levers, a hand cart and can do what ever I... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @1extreme +1. I love those meters and the look. About once every five years I have gone in to buy a Mac component, sat down and listened to it for thirty seconds and gave up. The sound quality is not what I am looking for… they are like muscle c... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @mc1969 That is not how it normally works. Maybe there is a temporary glitch, but while the menus are a bit tricky to navigate to the right place it is simple to create one or more systems, attach photos, and identify components. | |
| Tube amp and correct speaker connections. OP, 👍 | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections I have owned and streamed using PC, MAC, IPad, $2K, $3.5K, $5K, $10K, $13K, and $22K streamers. In each case absolutely worth the increased sound quality supplied by that level of investment / performance assuming you have a system.. DAC, Preamp, ... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @mbmi That is very definitely true for some folks. Definitely worth a listen. But for many their sound quality is not for us. | |
| Room divider OP, Yes, just add photos to your virtual system. It is easy to add photos there. | |
| My history with treble. @jjss49 Thanks for your comments. I think you were observant as well. I listened to music, probably a lot more than most. I was a geologist and drove for over 8 hours a day, I had a very high end portable system in my motel room (think bad tre... | |
| Turntable Thrumming What is the frequency of the noise? Is it 33.3 one per turn of the table? | |
| Tube amp and correct speaker connections. OP, Good question. The first time I was presented with this situation I was stumped as well. @rodman99999 +1 Absolutely, try and decide is the answer. Which ever sounds better. It is not an electrically question, but a sound quality question. ... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? OP… “With the insane prices now being asked for audio equipment from manufacturers around the globe”. I am puzzled at the question. I don’t think insane prices (so, say high ticket, Boulder, and dCS… etc) are even remotely being competed in produ... |
