| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice +1 @zlone An R2R DAC sounds like a good experiment. | |

| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! | |
| How Has Your Finely Tuned Audiophile Dexterity Helped You in Your "Other" Life? Having the skills you mention helped me develop an audiophile system. I got those skills from learning to play the guitar and from reading and writing. | |
| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? MY BOSE WAVE RADIO IS THE ALL CAPS SYSTEM I'VE ALWAYS BEEN WORKING TOWARDS. | |
| Getting Back In - But Doing it Sanely I would be looking at Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. How much does one have to spend on equipment to be considered an Audiophile, if it is truly the later than the music. $132.79 | |
| Two questions to make you mad. We are fooling ourselves, our hobby is full of lies and we can’t even face facts. Um, maybe this is you but it's not me. I have a stereo machine that plays music. I like it. Issues which make me mad involve actual injustices -- not these. | |

| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) +1 @soix Indeed, OP, you're really at a choice point -- finding out whether you are really interested/able to improve the *sound* or whether you're actually more interested in swapping gear. A lot of us have thought we were after better sound wh... | |
| Lii Audio 18" open baffles Are you starting a discussion or just placing an advertisement? | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) Subwoofers can help a lot. Also, nothing about room conditions have been mentioned. These are the two factors which allowed me to get amazing bass with standmount speakers (Fritz) and also with towers (Ascend). I'm not spending nearly the money yo... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? I’m not a "nominalist," either, nor was I trying to suggest that either of you might be. ("Not that there’s anything wrong with that.") My philosophical intuitions are mostly Kantian these days, after half a century contributing to the discipline... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? @snilf There is no corresponding "objective reality." That’s right. Everything that "is" must be somehow taken by us. No raw given, no way to check. Even the "real, objective" cello on the stage, playing live, is heard by me -- my sitting position... |
