| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? Audio Research Ref 3… definitely ARC is a great choice. I have owned one most of the time since 1980’s. | |
| Just got my pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros Fortunately for me I have a fireplace in my library and large windows out into the backyard. So, once in a while I have a fire and listen to my headphones. But, they don’t get the use they should. on the other hand I was able to fine tune the ... | |
| Boutique or Big Brand? Good choice, I am sure you will like them. While I have been owner of several sets of great sounding ugly speakers over the decades… it is a real treat to have such beautiful works of art that perfom beautifully as well. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? I typically start with weight. I have found a very close correlation between increased weight and higher sound quality. Then I generally look at cost. I find that the cost of heavy audio components correlate highly with the sound quality. After th... | |
| Just got my pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros @russ69 😊☹️… exactly what happened to me. My headphone system ended up sounding sooo much better than my main… I had to upgrade my main, now, $75K poorer… my main sounds like headphone system… they now have the same character… warm, natural a... | |
| Room help OP, In addition to moving stuff around, you can use stuff around the house to simulate treatments. Like a heavy throw rug hung over a ladder… cloth covered chair with towels in reflection points. Etc. | |
| New (used) streamer ...final selection or more suggestions ? Aurrender They only make streamers and some of the best, incredibly good sounding and built as audiophile quality. So they should be available used. I own a N100 and a W20SE. | |
| Just got my pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros Congratulations. Yes, better sound is addictive. I am a big fan of Beyerdynamic. My partner finally just gave up and let me buy what I wanted. I highly recommend Woo head amps. Want to see where you affliction can take you… you can see my headphon... | |
| Schiit Aegir-Burn in Period I have broken in many solid state and tube devices. Including Schiit. I would try and avoid drawing any conclusions before 200 hours. My high end Audio Research takes 600 hours to improve to most of it’s potential, but continues subtitly to 1,000 ... | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience Thanks for your comparison and write up. Nicely done. | |
| replacement for MOFI beatles box set I have and love the Parlophone set in stereo. Mono, does absolutely nothing for me. That is me. I have a friend that thinks he is a musician and thinks there is some greater fidelity in some nuance of tone. But then, I think he is crazy anyway. ... | |
| Go Ahead and Laugh at Me I hate that. I have problems with stupid designs that are ambiguous. I would find that ambiguous as well. Stupid design, not a stupid question. | |
| Boutique or Big Brand? @kingdeezie All good points! | |
| Room help My feeling is you can replicate better sound in your earlier orientation. Here is what I think… you can see my room under my ID. Consider putting up some photos. First… if possible put the brick in front (to quiet the sound stage)… but also co... | |
| Speaker Questions My experience with Polk from a couple decades ago was that they were outstanding bargains… sounding outstanding. I doubt they have changed their approach. I have heard praise off and on…these are budget speakers so are not likely to get mentioned ... |
