| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. @gphill 👍🎉 | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? OP Respect for your adoptions. We always have a pair… acquired one, train for a year, then second. No doubt you have your hands full. It is hard enough to train and domesticate one dog at a time… three is got to be beyond difficult… I hope you don... | |
| Looking at Turntable: belt drive or direct drive? I would definitely get turntable without a phono stage. Phono stages are critical in the performance of a turntable, probably the first thing you will want to upgrade. I wasn’t happy until I got a $1.6K + over 30 years ago. This way you can upgrad... | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? I have to agree with @avanti1960 until your speakers are optimized. My speakers disappear after some repositioning. But @bhvf is absolute;y correct… those old recording with one guy an the left and one one the right, are just not going to disappea... | |
| Most beautiful turntable under $5k @jemmer01 OK, that is a seriously beautiful turntable, particularly with the top down. I looked at some close ups and the fit and finish isn’t overwhelming. Kind of like a Hollywood star… drop dead gorgeous at a distance. In the past what... | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @immatthewj 👍 it is a big eye opener. | |
| COMPARISON SONUS FABER AMATI VS IL CREMONESE. Thank you Craig. Great review and comparison. I own Amati Traditional. I love them. What you observe is the kind of differences I am used to observing between the model levels. Such listening sessions are fantastic to calibrate one to sound / cost... | |
| new cd player I currently have a Audio Research Reference CD9SE as my DAC. It is a tubed CD player / DAC. It is the best sounding DAC I have heard. I don’t bother listening to CDs any more as streaming sounds as good, usually better although I own 2,000 CDs. H... | |
| DAC`S I own a Audio Research Reference CD9SE which I use for its DAC. I have compared it in my system directly with a new $22K Berkeley Reference Alpha 3. The sonic differences were absolutely minuscule… but when under real detailed analysis I preferred... | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? No actually a sub between the speakers is good. Here is a more detailed and technical explaination: | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? @dgluke Thank you for that insightful post. | |
| Looking for a SS amp for Goldenear References Carver has always been an “idea guy”… but the result has always been poorly executed “good ideas”. However, coupling a good speaker with a $349 amp is also out there. You want to pair your speakers with a good amp… like Pass, Rouge, Audio Research... | |
| Transparent Cables interconnects question Unfortunately it is not a question of if they have balanced connectors, it is a question of internal design. So if one of your components Is not balanced it is difficult to tell… I would go with RCA. Some day when your components are much better, ... | |
| Fiber Optic Internet...best way to connect to system Get a better streamer. The streamer can cashe the incoming bits, isolate them and translate into a clean signal. I own a Aurender N100, and a W20SE. I owned a Aurlic Aries G2 and auditioned an Aurender N10. Each step up the Aurender line is an inc... | |
| Opinions of Onkyo P-3000R phono preamp OP, By the way I have a Violectric … I think it is a V281… I had to import it from Germany. This unit has enough current to power a set of Denton flagship headphones. I used it a few times and gave it to my partner for listening to tv at night whe... |
