| Selling my hubby's estate--B&W 805 D3: Speakers or Loudspeakers?? I'd suggest if you have a good local audio shop call them for advice and potentially buying some of the gear from you. | |
| Which Analog to Digital converter fuzztone1,975 posts04-20-2021 9:40amThe best PCM is the Puffin <$600. LPs rarely have any detectable content above 24-96. Are you mistakenly comparing sample rates to frequency range? Vinyl records have been proven to have information we... | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative If your looking for something intimate and with a huge sound stage i'd suggest looking at some single driver or point source speakers. Voxative comes to mind in the upper end Omega on the lower for single driver speakers. point source your into Ke... | |
| The Absurdity of it All I have to admit we all need to take a look at our selves in the mirror and acknowledge that we are all in deed getting older ( average audiophile age is above 50 now) and we cannot hear all the things we used to regardless of perceived experience.... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Never figured out how you all can hear directionality in a wire for an AC signal. I have done enough testing in various systems over the years and I can not hear a difference in direction other then sometimes with poor wire shielding and grounding... | |
| Is this an right time to buy hifi? I'd say if your buying new go for it, if used wait. Covid has driven the used market prices through the roof. Vintage has gone even further up the silly price range, lots of people are over spending on old equipment that's not worth it. $5k+ for ... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Decware, Finale Audio (used most likely), Schiit audio ( Freya + tube preamp possibly) come to mind for low powered tube gear that is good value. there’s a ton more out there. I’d pass on 300Bs though too expensive for tubes IMO specially at your ... | |
| unconventional stand solution for LS50 Wireless II? suggestions? terra-cotta Flue pipes, i.e. chimney liners make excellent speaker stands. just find one that's similar in size you need, slightly shorter to accommodate a wood top plate and bottom plate. the wood blocks/plates on each end with a threaded rod thr... | |
| Crossovers may want to give Danny at GR research an email they do custom crossovers, etc. and could build one for your speakers. mind you you will have to send them a speaker for testing. | |
| A solid tube photo stage around 1500 other then the ones already mentioned the Manley Chinook is another option. also the Audio Note Kit phono stages are quite good for the money. you do not need to build them. | |
| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Take the 3'rd lets face it, it's most likely not either the manufacturer or dealers fault its most likely the shipping company's that it failed on delivery. I'm sure Mac tries every piece they build so most likely its a shipping issue. there's tho... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! you have the room size and if you can live with the slightly lower bass output over the Cornwall I'd suggest the laScala's in the Klipsch line. They are much more emotional and have a more "your there" sound then the Cornwall's. the bass has more ... | |
| Ankits and World Audio Design Kits? the Audionote kits are some of the best in the world, from my experience. They hold their value very well too. they are based off their regular line up and the level numbers are similar for sound quality comparisons. You get Audionote sound in a l... | |
| Technics 1200G phono recommendations Gold Note Ph10, great and half your budget. Audionote Kit Phono stages are excellent for a savings if you want tubes, you can buy them pre assembled, i still like the gold note over this for detail retrieval. and twice the price. Alnic Audio mak... | |
| Why would 2 schiit aegir amps sound the same as 1? how are the steps spaced in the Freya+ for use with the higher efficiency speakers. Are they spaced close enough to give a usable volume range and control? Some stepped attenuators I’ve tried are too far spaced for usable volume control just eith... |
