| Killer used integrated for <$500? https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649634586-vincent-audio-sv129/ $385 used, down from $1k. | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. @larry The first guy to respond was most definitely not doing that. What is your opinion on the question? | |
| Shopping for new speakers-need ideas... Selling old DQ-10's... +1 b_limo's comment on sound stage. I love the warmth and honesty of the Carbons but I compared them to taller towers and there is a real difference, there. I retract some of my earlier enthusiasm given what you've stated you want, OP. | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) @noble100 I hear you! The first time I listened to "Looking for a Home" my mouth just dropped open. I had never heard anything so present and real in my room before. Unbelievable. https://dsd-guide.com/fdn/keith-greeninger-dayan-kai-0This was inte... | |
| Shopping for new speakers-need ideas... Selling old DQ-10's... Holy crap. $1200 for those Carbons? Go get them. | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? One common mistake with speaker setup is the assumption that everything should be set up symmetrically -- as judged by the eye. But what if there's a wall beside one speaker and a bookshelf beside another? Or a hallway at one reflection point and ... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Giving license to this forum to call your question "idiotic" is like giving license to gravity to pull things down!I would say "it depends" but it really does depend -- on *how* inferior those other things are to your speakers and amp. And how the... | |
| Decware: a worthwhile option? In this category, what do folks know or think about Erhard? https://www.erhard-audio.com/Ray.html | |
| Who has switched from a PS Audio BHK Preamp to something else? If your room's acoustics are as good as they can be, then I can understand the itch. If not, then perhaps you've not heard all you can with your present gear? Paul at PS Audio talks about how it's impossible to judge gear unless it's set up in a w... | |
| Shopping for new speakers-need ideas... Selling old DQ-10's... I'm a huge Steely Dan fan, too. I've listened to a lot of their music as I auditioned speakers. Given your question and parameters, I recommend Fritz Speakers, either the Carbon 7 or the Carreras. Either will wind up close to your $3k mark. I made... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? Nolo, it looks like you posted the same URL twice. | |

| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) @noble100 Right-- use better quality recordings, when available, and keep things out of the signal path (with fewer interconnects). Absolutely. But there are things out there which are never remastered so, I guess it depends on what one is listeni... | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) When a high degree of transparency is consistently maintained in one's system, it becomes obvious that there's not a consistently maintained high level of quality applied to the recording and mixing of music masters.This is quite true. I would onl... | |
| Bass is clearer and more impactful when I stand vs. when I sit I improved the sound of my listening position by getting a different chair and changing the rake of the speakers. |
