| New Hemingway Audio Power Cables WORLD's BEST ??? I see some teamwork happening here. Pump that product, and caveat emptor to all the rest. | |
| Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare? @thyname He's adopted quite the brave and masculine moniker -- Jason Bourne -- but when you ask him to back up his claims with evidence, it suggests a better moniker -- Milhouse Van Houten. | |
| Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare? @jasonbourne52 Have you heard them or have you decided it's easy for some other reason? What is that reason, if so? | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers @ryder I have two Rythmik F12 Direct Servo subwoofers (Signature Edition) which I think are much better value than REL subs. They're $1260 each and are amazing. I got a REL 328-R used for about $900. I use all three. The ratio of these subs togeth... | |
| Cable curmudgeon You’re right to be judging sonic qualities by listening to acoustic music. Large-scale classical, chamber, quartets, jazz can present proper tonal qualities, dynamics, and nuances not found in electric or amplified music. I listen to mainly class... | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? Are you hypothesizing that the main deficiencies of Bose are their acoustic environment? In other words, get the right room and they'll be the equal of supposedly better speakers? | |
| High Efficiency Options? Some good threads on this recently. https://forum.audiogon.com/search/index?query=speaker+efficiency&sort=date&topic=speakers | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism For me, the best way to judge whether Isoacoustics is worth the money is to (a) buy those cork/rubber feet first, for a fraction of the cost; (b) get the isoacoustics on a trial basis and then (c) compare. | |
| Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma? Take a look at Jays Audio Lab on FB! He's gone through over 60 amps in his search for perfection! IMO this is certifiable behavior - time to call the men in white coats! Agree. Has his room changed in that time? Have speakers, DACs, other thing... | |
| Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma? Live music is your guide, and patience your friend. Ok, perhaps. For some music. Sitting...7th row center? Further up? Back? Ok, we can just rough it out. Dark Side of the Moon and everything else multi-tracked, mixed, tweaked, etc. -- live mu... | |
| Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma? @audition__audio +1 Some people treat a journey as something negative. Others see it as the thing worth valuing. The idea that my system is not where it could be is not a negative -- it's a positive. As Browning said, "a man's reach should exce... | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions @gdnrbob I have no experience with Orchard, so I cannot comment on it's performance, but I will say that if you do compare your DAC paired with a BS Node, Aurender or Innuos, you will hear a difference in sound reproduction. Whether this is 'be... | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions @djones51 My audiophile friend here in CO has a raspberry pi also, but has an excellent DAC (Holo May) and both the DAC and the streamer have LPS. He also favors Roon. | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions @mattchanoff @gdnrbob I have an Orchid DAC with upgraded innards. I would LOVE to A/B my Node w/LPS vs. a $6k Aurender, while keeping the DAC the same. I daresay I would fail a blind test, but I'd be open to refutation. | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions I bought a node 2i a couple years ago for $430 open box from Crutchfield. I then got an upgrade kit and a linear power supply for about $250 more. The combination sounds very good to my ears. |
