| Forever speakers around $5000 I beg to differ on Maggie's 3.7i not having pinpoint imaging and detail as mine are extremely detailed and image extremely well. Each instrument is crystal clear with exact placement in the mix. If you don't hear this I suggest you check your spea... | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 while you’re likely chasing the endless rainbow like we all are...how about one of the traditional larger boxes from the likes of Harbeth, Stirling, or Spendor ?These brands tend to be final destinations for many listeners, more often than the typ... | |
| Swirls and Scratches on Glossy Back Wood Surface Novus is designed for plastics like Lexan and it works great for aircraft windscreens. I'd proceed with caution if trying it on a speaker finish. 3M Perfect-It products are the best I've used for automotive type finishes which many black speakers ... | |
| Advice for novice needed on turntable For the ultimate "wow-factor," sound quality not being a priority, I think the Mag-Lev table is the one to beat - doesn’t get more visually impressive than that. | |
| Swirls and Scratches on Glossy Back Wood Surface I'd try a wax or polish first, one specifically designed for piano finishes. If that doesn't do the trick, you can try something more aggressive like 3M Perfect-It swirl remover. Make sure to first test any product on the bottom of the speaker. | |
| Amplifier for Focal 936 Focal 936 having a “cold midrange” might be the new funniest thing I’ve ever read on here. If anything, the mids are a little recessed and congested. Zero sign of them being cold. IF you have even heard them, you might have heard them in the wo... | |
| Amplifier for Focal 936 Really why do you say that, I was hoping more base and speaker efficiency would fill my room up more do you think Totems are betterTo my ears, Totem is the the more tonally accurate brand, and better regarding imaging and detail, at least compared... | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 NO listening fatigue, period. THAT is one of the important tests for "forever" speakers. Try that with ANY OTHER box speaker, electrostatics, etc. Unfortunately, you will want to stop listening to any other brand eventually. Never true with Maggie... | |
| Project Classic versus Rega P2 What I don’t like about the Classic is it uses the same puny platter bearing as the Debut models, which definitely lends to audible rumble IME.Rega is smart in that they focus their build quality on the most important parts, such as the arm and pl... | |
| Are there very good/audiophile blu-ray players? Helomech, the Yamaha BD-A1060 sounds like a great piece at that price.I must note, for CD playback, mine is used purely as a transport and feeds my Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 DAC. I haven't used its internal DAC for quite some time but I recall it being ... | |

| Switched to Ls50 wireless; they sucked the “Life” out of my music Perfect example of why one need be weary of product hype.I hadn't heard of Symdex speakers. After some quick research, I'm not surprised by your disappointment in the KEFs. I like the passive LS50s (haven't heard the Wireless) but they have their ... | |
| Amplifier for Focal 936 Have you heard these Focals? Other than bass output I have doubts that they'd be an upgrade over your Forests. | |
| Are there very good/audiophile blu-ray players? I use the Yamaha BD-A1060 for CDs and it does an excellent job. In fact, its sound quality is better than its picture quality. It's clear that Yamaha designed it with CD playback in mind because it has a "CD mode" that disables the video circuitry... | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 I agree that Spendors may check all your boxes but I’d go with the A7s over the D7s if you found the KEF LS50s "shrill." BTW, the LS50 is a balanced speaker if listened to as KEF intended, off-axis and below ear height. Unfortunately, many dealers... |
