| Why not? Good question. I have pondered it off and on. But, do not know of any companies doing it. A number of speaker manufacturers use wire internally made by high end manufacturers. But I haven’t seen it go further. Maybe the “best” varies so much fr... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ddafoe …”I find the monos offer a maybe slightly less 'meat-on-the bones', but a wider soundstage, good depth but maybe not quite as deep, but offer a blacker background and ultimately allow me to hear in and around the instruments just as much... | |
| Amplifier recommendation Audio Research… go back as far as required to get a price you can afford. | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? OP, Wow. Ok. You really have no excuses. Get your butt out there and use some people skills and find a great dealer, if you lived in central Louisiana or Northern Oklahoma… but New York? You should be ashamed of yourself. I spent lots of time out... | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances @jjss49 Yes. Goes back to the seemingly silly assertion that the heavier the amp, the better it sounds (well actually all audiophile equipment). You need huge power supplies to Supply current. After college I was an electrical / mechani... | |
| Did you notice.... My theory is that you can approach streaming in two ways… low end plus fiddling with your incoming signal: the complicated way. Or buy a high quality streamer. I can’t prove it.. I don’t have enough of a sample. But each time I have upgraded my st... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch OP, I believe the sound of the Audio Research will be much more natural and musical with outstanding mid-range bloom, without loosing detail… something the Steelhead is known for. Personally I would unquestionably buy a ARC Phonostage unheard… bu... | |
| Streamer Upgrade OP, Congratulations on the Yggi ( I evaluated DACs for a friend… bought a Gungnir to test my theory and then got him a Yggdrasil). Remember it will need a couple hundred hours of breakin. I used to own a Aurlic Aries G2. It is hard to criticize, ... | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? Interesting question. At the surface, yes absolutely. Audiophile tables and associated gear are a real step up ($5K level is trounced by $10k level, which is trounced by the $20K level, which… you get the idea. But.. You should be getting very... | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances “Watt is the measure of power. Volt is the measure of electric potential. Ampere is the measure of current.” DC PW= VV × IA PW is Power in watt VV is voltage in volts The point is that current is the number... | |
| First record cleaner I had a VPI HW as well for about 20 years until it died. Did a good job. I replaced it with a Nessie. It is an many times quieter and less than half the size. I was so happy with the new one after putting up with all the noise for so long. But... | |
| How do you look up photos of a member's system? I think there has been some site problems over the last couple days. I think it works again. | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @soix 👍😊 | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing You bought a pair of amps expecting to hate them? Strange approach to putting together a great sounding system. Could you elaborate? Your system, strategy, venue. | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated @seekerbob, It depends. I might have invested $10K or more that was unnecessary. With real inefficient speakers I might need more power. If the speakers were really warm the combo might not be ideal. Also I know my tastes and what equipment soun... |
