| Music to take to an audition Consider a couple recordings you know really well but are nothing special, even bad. You want to hear how the system deals with them.Another somewhat odd piece of advice is to not spend all the time listening paying close attention. Pull out a mag... | |
| Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Special 40 My local dealers like Atoll Integrated as pairing well with Dyns. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/atoll-electronique-in400se-integrated-amplifier | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers @jjss49 Thank you so much! Sorry for missing your question on the other thread! I've been swamped. I think at this point, my short list of speaker brands to try (I really haven't heard that many) are Harbeth, Magnepan, Vandersteen, Spatial, and Oh... | |
| Speaker Suggestions/Opinions @brylandgoodman Fritz is close to a one man operation, and he's been doing speakers for 40 years. He has a great ear and uses excellent parts. He's very easy to talk to and does not hard sell. If you call him and ask him questions, he'll answer ho... | |
| Speaker Suggestions/Opinions @larry I’m not a dealer, I’m a teacher. I live in Denver. Don’t own Fritz, only Salk. | |
| Speaker Suggestions/Opinions @larry5729 I certainly agree that Salks are excellent -- I own some. The only thing that prompted me to suggest Fritz was the OP detail about "up to 3k." I think Fritz is hard to beat in that range because his finishing process is simpler than ji... | |
| Streamer wanted @rvpiano I highly recommend the hans beekhuyzen and john darko youtube channels. Very educational. Hans likes the micro rendu a lot. | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. Hear, hear MC. Absolutely right.And even acousticians and psycho-acousticians admit there's much they don't know or can't explain. But this is true in every field, including the ones that collectively put men on the moon. | |
| REW question -- judging SPL and Impulse graphs @millercarbon Agreed. And yet, I'm not doing that. So you're using my post as a stalking horse to expel yet more classic MC flatus vocis. Take some advice in Spanish: "En boca cerrada no entran moscas." | |
| Speaker Suggestions/Opinions Given what you’ve said about Totem, Spendor, Dynaudio and some other comments about price range, imaging, disappearing, and midrange, you might seriously consider either Fritz’s Carbon 7 line or his Carrera line. They hover above and below the 3k ... | |
| REW question -- judging SPL and Impulse graphs @millercarbon Thanks for being helpful, again! | |
| REW question -- judging SPL and Impulse graphs LP stands for listening position. | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @tubes444 Thanks for the head's up about Spotify via Roon. Didn't know that. It's not all about the music, of course. If it was, that's all we'd be talking about and you would never have gotten such good gear! Peace! | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @mahler123 And though as Audiophiles we argue endlessly about small sonic differences, essentially streaming and CD replay, into the same DAC, sound similar. Both are sending 1s and 0s into the DAC.I will admit I have a hard time hearing a differ... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @yyzsantabarbara Thank you so much for your careful and perspicuous listening report. I learned a lot from your efforts, and I'm glad you came to a discovery.Several years ago, a friend showed me his home built setup — he built two very simple com... |
