| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo @jastralfu , based on that, I may put The Immaculate Collection on my own list. | |
| Thumper’s Mother I always thought that as long as politics are not involved, the discussions are usually pretty civilized. I guess "usually" is the operative word. | |
| Is The Audio Asylum Down? Audioasylum.com is UP and reachable by us. Too bad. | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. I care about music. And I care about sound, as a path to creating a more connected, more enjoyable listening experience. I totally agree with that, @woofman74 . However, in the past I was never a big fan of jazz or classical, and over the last... | |
| Double up on speaker cables I just did a real quick google and Rockport Atria 2’s are 38k a pair? If I could afford a pair of those, I'd find a way to afford some real good speaker wire. Those must sound incredible. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? As I think I remember @ghdprentice typing, I have also read that maybe not all watts are created equal. | |
| Tube preamp topologies and music @gochurchgo , in a discussion about the definition of the term "musical" I once made the comment that a SET amp would be the wrong amp for a head banger. At least two (possibly more) members informed me that I was dead wring, and also that 4 wpc... | |
| Help with high end bookshelf speakers @deep_333 , how long does it take you to compose these pearls of stupidity? I hope you don't waste too much of your valuable time thinking this crap up. Sorry to burst your bubble, but, a 11 by 12 closet is not hifi, it is about as lofi as it ... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? Spend full budget on Shun mook discs and Shakti stones....no speakers and sources are needed. Just start singing, dancing and tossing shakti stones around --> quickest path to audio nirvana. That will only work if you cover all your walls ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @james633 , thank you again for that link on positioning "book shelf speakers." After I finished up my session last night, I finally got into that link; then I went back into my room and did some massive repositioning. Not to overload with detail... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? @kingsleuy , I bought my very first system at the SAFB BX in ’79 and it was also a Magnavox! I did it on lay-away. (It would not have strapped onto the back of a mc though, I picked the rack system that had the biggest speakers of all of the rack... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Last night when I finished up I did some major speaker repositioning and I just got finished with six hours plus of delicious break-in/auditioning of those Revel speakers. Because of that, I thought of three more tracks that might meet your criter... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player This doesn’t apply to the SA10 or any of the more expensive CDPs, but the second CDP I ever had was a Carver vacuum tube CDP that I bought in '94 and used standing alone and then as a transport for an outboard DAC. Anyway, it was in my system for ... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? Good source will sound better on mediocre speakers than mediocre source will sound on good speakers. I think that there may be something to this. I would have defined "source" as ALL the electronics in front of the speakers, but I am thinki... | |
| Speaker Slip Covers Good job on the kitten rescue! Also, watch out for the speaker wire. We rescued a kitten back in '01, and I caught her chewing on the Kimber wire. I bought some spiral wrap at an auto parts store to protect my speaker wires from her teething pe... |
