| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? +1 @mapman I have resisted the term, because whatever someone prefers in the character of their system is going to be the one which draws them into the music, no? If that’s true -- and I cannot see how that can be disputed -- then every system ... | |
| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... Has Hegel's integrated amp have a DAC which is superior to the outboard Dac's you've heard? Curious about that aspect of your journey. | |
| New pre-amplifier? @soix Agreed. I’d go further and suspect this post as a kind of "fake concern trolling." One posts about some fabricated issue just to see if they can get weigh-in. The sort of game where you see if you can trick someone into spending their time o... | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! Just thinking a bit more about the word "investment." Investments get *more* valuable over time. With that in mind, what percent of gear folks here have sold went for more than they bought it? Besides my Pass XA-25, I don't think I have a singl... | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! I have a friend that uses the word "investment" for things she just wants to own. It's such a transparent act of self delusion it's hard to keep a straight face when she says it. Why not call your gear a "gift" to yourself? My guess is, you're ... | |
| New pre-amplifier? +1 @facten Does anybody really know what time it is? | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." @baylinor Thank you! I almost went down a rabbit hole with cables and power conditioning before reading a bit more. I realized that they were not the weak links and probably would not make a very big difference. Diffusion improvement was the bette... | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." I'm with @baylinor Everything matters is the short answer as always. But to over amplify the importance of one aspect of audiophilia over another is not a fruitful argument imo. Too often these threads overemphasize the room (by people who ca... | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." If you cannot perceive that the so-called "high end" speakers are better than yours, then you have probably crushed the competition. My system is much less than yours. I think it sounds wonderful, even compared to more expensive systems. Often, t... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tattooedtrackman I did reply. Not sure what happened. I'll look again now. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! How many times have folks declared they had their "end game" speaker only to find that it was not their end game speaker? Genuine question. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Why not! I have the earlier version of the Loki which I'm not using. It's virtually new. If you're curious, shoot me a DM and we'll work something out. | |
| Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker. Is it either/or or both/and? | |
| ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS? Absolutely! If people did the three things you mention... Basic acoustics -- reflections and frequency curves Basic electrical noise to signal ration optimization Vibration resonance control ...there would be far more satisfaction in the ho... | |
| ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS? I beg to differ about simple basic fact in psycho-acoustic which are easy to find reading and easy to experiment with ... You make a good point. I guess what I wanted to say is that many audiophiles offer opinions which would only be justified ... |
