| Bass audition for your system.... +1 @douglas_schroeder Imo, less than 10% of audio systems can handle all of these with aplomb, with no constriction in frequency or dynamics. on top of that, less than 10% of the untreated rooms will allow you to hear the LF as intended.In other w... | |
| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? +1 @inna Gryphon is close to the absolute best. CH Precision is possibly closer. (depending on personnel preference) | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect What if...... the difference this cable makes is as subtile as the difference between let's say a $ 1k amp and a $ 24k amp. Would it be accepted? An amp costing $ 24k somehow seems to be less shocking to many. Yet, differences between amps are not... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? I have yet to encounter a single set of speakers which can -even remotely- reproduce the sound of a full orchestra. Let me know should you find those. I do agree that the best reference is human voice, and even better if you can get a good recordi... | |
| Did you ever mismatch equipment ? I once combined Burmester 011 pre with Audio Research CD 8, it never gave me the satisfaction I was looking for. None of the equipment was defective, it just wasn't right. Not sure why, but after I had changed the components, (changed both the Bur... | |
| Speakers for a very large room? @richopp +1 As that is the correct approach. | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? @N80+ 1 (Plus, we're all free to be nuts about our hobby. I think it helps if we understand and acknowledge that we're nuts and that our chosen form of insanity might not be for everyone). Nuts in the eyes of others. That's okay, as long as we bel... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? Many years ago, when I occasionally sold "hifi" equipment, people sometimes chose equipment which would never have been my choice. But the smile on their face, the satisfaction I could see on their face was always enough for me to hold back a bit,... | |
| WHAT WAS THE BEST SYSTEM YOU EVER HEARD AND WHY WAS IT? My own system. (I know I should not state that here, as I will expose myself to criticism and people telling me being arrogant.) Never mind, I’m a happy man ;) | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? People make choices, so why not to respect them. If people ask for an advice, provide it to your best ability, after all we are all chasing the same goal, having the best sound within a given environment, and within a given price class. Often it h... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu I have not had the chance to compare the FM Acoustics directly to the CH Precision using the same speakers. It’s a known fact that FM Acoustics produces very nice electronics, they have been around for many years as well. I’m quite sure tha... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu Why I choose the M1 ?The M1 provides me the highest dynamics and is more transparent than any other amp I've had or heard. But I have to admit that the difference may also be caused partially by the pre-amp, which I switched at the same tim... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . yeah, to my opinion, based on my experience digital often really sounds good, (CEC Belt driven must be an interesting player) now I'm not saying it always beats analog, but if you consider the operating convenience and so on, you may choose for di... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . Yes, I agree that we haven't reached the bottom of digital music reproduction yet. In fact, I'm now concentrating on digital, and will invest some more in the near future. I may not invest in vinyl but will go for digital and analog R2R. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu Ok, so let us agree that the wire gauge (cable resistance) is an indicator, and let's say that that has been addressed, so what is your opinion about cable materials, OCC copper, Silver, Silver alloys (Silver/gold) cable construction, possi... |
