| Oh no, say it ain't so. What is inherently better about loving music over gear? Is it not like loving cruelty over kindness or loving sociopaths rather than saints? The people who like to chant, "It's about the music" need to put their keyboards away and go listen to m... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I had the same experience with the XTi60's and could not mitigate the brightness. Good ribbon tweeters cost money and quality can vary a lot. The ML's are perhaps a bit too much of a bargain. I found the RAAL tweeters in the Ascend Towers to have... | |
| A life sentence!!! Pass XA-25 | |
| Does anyone experience sound improvement from restarting power off and on of DAC? My DAC sounds better after I flush all the toilets in the house. | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers I did watch the video, and I’m not sure why you chose this one for a virtual high-five to Kevin. Tariffs and price increases have been the hot topic for weeks, months - this is literally the furthest thing from "insider info". I agree it’s not ... | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers But as far as Kevin being a "friend in the business" and "upfront"? Hah! Only as far as it doesn’t impede profits. My comment related to the video in the OP -- I assume you watched it. It is him directly telling customers about tariffs and the... | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? If you perceive that it sounds better then it does. If you perceive a straight stick is bent in water (because it looks bent), it is actually bent in water? Um, no -- appearance and reality are different things. The way I would phrase your id... | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? I did extensive measuring with REW at the listening position. Changes close to the microphone (i.e., near where my ears would be) sometimes had a significant impact on frequency response and reflections. So, it depends, but you could be hearing ... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I didn't "close the thread." I gave my opinion that the thread seems exhausted -- it is going around in circles, Mahgister style. Just my opinion, but of course all one has to do is look at your posts here and in many other places to see you say... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Seems like this thread has become a bit exhausted. At least for me. | |
| New Magico Speaker Break-in Question @bubba12 I'm surprised to hear your thoughts on the Salks. I have Song 3 and it's one of the pieces of gear I would never sell. Perfect clarity but not fatiguing to me. Different tweeter though. That's because it was the tweeter, not the Sal... | |
| New Magico Speaker Break-in Question I had Salk speakers with this problem and did everything to try to figure this out. In the end: nope, not even absorption could help. I also recall the Be tweeters in the Focal 926 were pesky, too. Magico is a great company but I wonder if they'... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? 81-88 db | |
| Help needed to make system better, please Be nice to see a room measurement to know whether you need more diffusion. Your equipment sounds very nice. | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? All matter when we create an audio system , even cables... But nothing compare to acoustic analog control... Agreed, and the honest makers of good gear will say this. Interesting discussion here with a leader at Benchmark regarding what makes ... |
