| Sonus Faber Il Cremonese Amp Pairing suggestions OP +1 details forward. I recently spent time with a Burmeister 218 and SF Lilium. But with dry detailed dcs front end. Sonic spectacular but it did not sound like music. | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical @awise1961 +1 | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical I certain;y don’t think DACs under $3K sound the same. They tend to sound more like the technology used in them, but still different. They do tend not to sound as natural as higher priced DACs. Typically not as full sounding with highs hardene... | |
| Integrated all in one for a second system I'd have a look at Linn DSMs. The combination with focal may not be very warm. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes TCPIP does a great job of transporting bits and checking that they are correct. Your router receives them (or they are caught coming off a CD transport in the case of a CD Player) and adds a bunch of electrical noise... they are processed in a qui... | |
| Have You Seen - 10 Characteristics of Great Audiophile Sound @toddalin +1 exactly. In any venue I have ever been the bass arrival times are differentially delayed causing a wave of bass to wash over you, it is nuanced with different frequencies blended together. Never slam as is often desired and delivere... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Tight, accurate… nuanced… which requires tight… no overhang. Woofers have changed from big to small with greater throwawthey. An be much faster. | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? @abd1 +1 The folks at Echo are also very knowledge as well. | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 I can’t help but think it has to do with the amplifier. It is very old 1990’s and is know as a high voltage amp. I do not know or pay much attention to design... but that sounds like an unusual claim... and if I remember correctly... that is diffe... | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? @ejr1953 +1... 52 for me. I used to attend a conference that had a big name band every year... Sheryl Crow, Steve Miller... etc. I would also occasionally go to concerts... for instance Pat Metheny. Not only too loud, but the equalization typic... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? While it doesn't happen often. Get on my bike and go for a long ride. Some exercise gets any angst out of my system and lets me enjoy the moment. | |
| Tube rolling signal tubes on Audio Research I/50 I don’t roll tubes on my ARC stuff, because the sound is crafted to be, well, that sound with those tubes (carefully tested to meet specs). Having said that, I look forward to hearing what you find, I did try NOS 6550 on my ARC preamp... the dif... | |
| Integrated that blew you away For me it was the Audio Research I-50... and it is inexpensive. It is so musically rich. Every time I listen to one, my eyes close and I am whisked away with the music. I wish I had somewhere to put it. My equipment is "better"... more powerful, d... | |
| "Good" Music I peruse the Quboz Latest Releases, Acclaimed by the press, selected by Quboz, also Quboz playlists. and the back of Stereophile and the Absolute Sound. Audio buddies send me recommendations, and there are thousands of internet radio stations on Q... | |
| I think I have an amp problem It does sound most probably the integrated amp needs service or replacement. As @newbee pointed out. I would try and verify it happens with the CD as well. |
