| My new B Stock speakers @immatthewj Blue Bayou is such a sweet songs too... Fun fact about "Different Drums" - it was written by Michael Nesmith - of the Monkeys. It's amazing how these talents cross paths.... | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference yes, true the GoldenEar Reference is more expensive. It's apples and oranges I guess, top GoldenEar model vs. 2nd tier Paradigm | |
| Help me understand the current amp market tu be or not tu be That's is the... (Sorry) I agree with @glennewdick - the Luxman is fantastic. If you want to change it, just pick a direction, geography, technology, brands. | |
| Subwoofer Suggestions I tried 5 different subs (all under $400) and could only afford one vs 2. I lucked out, the one that worked out the best is a 10" Polk from shopgoodwill for $25. Everything else was a giant mess, sound-wise. I am looking to score another Polk. I a... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @immatthewj that's a beautiful (and partly tragic) story! Thanks for sharing. I read somewhere that our musical taste doesn't change much, what we like in our teens is what would listen for the rest of our lives. Yes it evolves but we will always ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @immatthewj my go-to is female vocalists too. I can't listen to Linda Ronstadt, it evokes memories from my past - painful times when her music was my comfort but I do love her voice. I also can't get enough of Joanie Sommers, Sonnie and Cher, Fraz... | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference I have heard some Paradigm speakers. Not GoldenEar. GoldenEar speakers seem to be cheaper and better value but, in the same time, Paradigm speakers are also very good value, high quality, reputation, etc. I think it’s a no brainer to go wit... | |
| My new B Stock speakers The Revels are fantastic speakers. I hope you are falling in love with the sound. I scored a pair of Celestions a few weeks ago (for close to nothing), and I can't get enough of them. What type of music impressed you most with the Revels? | |
| why expensive streamers I don't have a streamer or a DAC and I am absolutely clueless but based on what it does, it sounds like the only reason why cheap streamers sound worse than expensive ones is because they are poorly designed and "create" issues. There should be no... | |
| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? when I was in my early 20s I would turn on my stereo, highest volume, 2 seconds at 1AM. Then again in 20-35 minutes. Until 4AM, when I finished my homework for school. The neighbor and I were not on the best terms | |
| Speakers for SET 8 Watt 300B system? I am a bit suspicious of "black hole" audio companies, (Charney) that are unreachable, information only goes in one direction. I emailed them so many times with zero response. | |
| Listening Room @immatthewj You must not be living in the same world I am, @audioguy85 . I fear this will spiral into a political vortex quickly. I have never see spending at this level, stores are full. restaurants are full, flights are full, and every 2 w... | |
| Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system @llg98ljk sorry for not being clear. I agreed with you. I meant audiomen's post was strange about how much you MUST spend | |
| Focal v Wilson your amp will drive a lot of speakers. Maybe all of them. The question is synergy, and what your ear enjoys the most. I wouldn't start with the most expensive pairing, at the top of your budget, how would you know you wouldn't be happy with a spea... | |
| Restored Dual vs. Restored Technics what do you get with the auto that you don't get with the semi-auto? I think the biggest weakness of the Dual is how it starts playing, the zigzaggy weirdness which is prone to break. I can't stand it. I personally prefer 100% manual tables. As ... |
