| Advice on new headphone system please Very sorry to hear about your injuries. ‘From your descriptions of the sound you like, see if you can find some Beyerdynamic T2 headphones to listen to. They among the most unique and natural sounding that I own / heard. While I listen to my Foca... | |
| Advice on new headphone system please I spent well over ten years developing and upgrading my headphone system to where it is now. There were many learning moments along the way for me (you can see my primary headphone system by clicking on my ID). A couple things, although headphone ... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? @musichead Excellent article… thank you. It took me decades to really sense rhythm and pace. For the longest time, I had noticed if my foot unconsciously started moving to the music it had something that was missing on many systems. Over time... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES Actually, what would actually be helpful is if someone would buy a series of increasingly expensive jumpers, take good notes on the performance of each, and report back. That is instead of assertions with little or no experience, based on nothing. | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? I would agree with multiple folks recommending waiting until all is received and broken in. Then start thinking about the phono stage.depending on how you feel about the sound at that time, I think then start looking for a phono stage. I think you... | |
| Art for your music room Yes, I really think art makes your space better. You can see my space under my ID. The Afghans add to the acoustics an, to me are beautiful. We have original oil paintings in other rooms. | |
| Qobuz unusually slow? Nope. Mine is fine. | |
| Room Acoustics and Your Sound System Yes, everything matters, as. MC points out. The audio space is really important. For most of my life I haven’t had a choice of my space… or could I afford the very best components. So as time went on I could afford both a better space and better c... | |
| More expensive = better? It is not too hard hearing differences, but it typically takes time to put your finger on what it is. It is a skill. So, provided it is not just switch, a to b to c, and allows lots of time. Some, of course will be immediately obvious, some will t... | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable Typically speaker companies have a house sound. The sound becomes more substantial (versus thinner) tighter with more detail with increasing cost. So, for me, auditioning speaker brands have led me to the sound I wanted… then upgrading (lots of re... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget I prefer known highly rated and reviewed products… used VAC, Rogue, PrimaLuna. Unfortunately used Audio Research just does not come down to $3K. | |
| Appreciate Some Dac Advice Given your system I would recommend a Schiit Yggdrasil as a minimum. This is an excellent DAC for the money… while I have not heard the Chord, I have read quite a bit about it, I think for a substantial upgrade the Yggdrasil Is the very minimum, a... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? Ok, very funny… (first article) how did Dave get his wife or girlfriend to pose with him, as if she spent all that time listening to his system with him… don’t believe it, unless just married or starting a relationship. I remember my partner liste... | |
| Need suggestions for another pair of headphones (Have Sennheiser HD600) The sound of headphones are strongly dependent on the streamer, DAC, and particularly the amp. I was not blown away my the HD800’s until I got the Woo WA5… I think it has more power than the Felix and I am guessing maybe more natural sounding… wel... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Watts are a proxy for current. So, they may not correctly reflect their performance. Additionally, there is the old adage that tube watts are more powerful than equivalent than solid state watts… We should avoid discussing this… too many varia... |
