| What's a good alternative to SF amati g5? @emergingsoul I don't have a lot of pre 2000 photos... although probably 1,000. As digital cameras came into their own, this became possible. It has been amazing as it became possible to take photos of people... then at night, then people at nig... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. @1971gto455ho You sure are cynical. While there are a few companies that attempt and get away with charging "excessive" prices for their products, they are far between. Certainly not in tiny markets in highly discretionary markets. If folks do... | |
| Happiness is... Amazing, you got your once in a lifetime reprieve from Murphy. | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. Great to hear you are approaching your end game system. It would be great to see it. If you would post some photos and ID your components under your user ID in virtual systems we could see it... and as it comes together while upgrading the venue. | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. I suppose invite youngsters over, directly or indirectly. I guess, by that I mean under 30 years old. When I was in that age group I remember a couple of experiences of being over an someones house (by accident) with a truly great stereo. The sou... | |
| Another Major Audio Company Sold Fortunately Audio Research landed on its feet in a much better place. Yes, it has happened to a lot of high end audio companies. They are not enormously profitable, or large companies, so are easily buffeted by economics and management. Like small... | |
| Last night the Music took over…. @lalitk Thanks for the Coleman Hawkins and Webster reference. I am enjoying it. It has been a while since I listened to this recording. | |
| Are there any stand alone servers, that do NOT have a streaming function? OK, sorry about this: Fifteen or twenty years ago, stand alone servers were built. Then on-line streaming sources became available and got included with built in storage. For the last few years the amount of on line storage has been declining bec... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable I find Nordost turns at Valhalla. I have not been impressed with the tiers below. But Valhalla are great and get better at tiers above. Getting them cooked is a good idea. You are likely to be really happy. You have some great components. Lookin... | |
| Preamp for Luxman M-10X other than C-10x I am familiar with the Luxman M-10. The answer is very much dependent on the sound quality you are going for. Both luxmand and Focal are very trebly and detailed oriented. If you are going for hyper detailed / analytical system then the C-10 or ot... | |
| What's a good alternative to SF amati g5? @larsman Thanks. I'd enjoy it. I posted a few of my photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jdflood/albums | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals The MacIntosh preamp may have the balancing effect you are hoping for. Tell us what happens. Don't forget that a new solid state amp typically starts out very trebly and then softens over the first 100 to 200 hours. I know this, but I just can'... | |
| Another Major Audio Company Sold I own some Beyerdynamic headphones, they are very good. I hope this is a good for Beyerdynamic. The unique characteristic of their headphones is warm natural presentation. While a generalization, I worked for company that was acquired by a Chine... | |
| TOSLINK Optical vs Coaxial for CD transport to DAC Optical is typically inferior. It is because the circuitry on both sides are electronic, so conversion to optical and back to electrical is required. In all but purpose built expensive components off the shelf optical/electrical converters are use... | |
| Need help matching speakers with amplifer The rating for the speaker isn’t really anything more than a recommendation. In general the highest quality amp you can afford, more power is better. Since we are talking about a very budget oriented speakers, I am assuming your are not expecting ... |
