| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. OP is way more polite than I am but I will play along. It sure gets expensive like hell after a certain level. Every tube, every cone, every cable, not to mention active components. You can be anything in your imagination, try to build it in real... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. czarivey, that's the real point. To compare speakers to acoustic instrument. I would only add voice to your list. Voice is the most basic and most important instrument. And we all have it. | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? I sure can. One of the problems, and a big one, as I see it, is Ralph's endless self-advertising. As if there were no other good amps or engineering approaches. There are, and many. I believe that manufacturers and dealers should be honorably dism... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? That's a great looking thing, especially with tubes. I wish my next amp would look similar. | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. whart is Bill, he's got a great system, especially the turntable and power amps. That's good, thank you, for being over $10k. But, yeah, it's very much about involvement. If I wasn't poor too...I don't want to think about it. But certainly, I cou... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. Oh, and forget about music, it's all noise. Listen to the sounds. That's audiophile. | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. OP, I suggest you not spend much or your system will sound better than any of ours, and we won't like that. That's why you get so many nonsense responses. They are poor people with mid-fi stereos and questionable hearing. They are also idealistic... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. In the current reality $10k is not much at all, so good sound is not very expensive. Excellent sound is expensive. | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. Cost may be irrelevant, in a sense, because it's a state of mind, but if you want a good sound, even if it is the first step, it will cost. $10k perhaps, one source, used equipment except cartridge. If your room is big it will be more. If you list... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Some think, I heard, that Grand Utopia are one of three-five top speakers. They sound great even on youtube, that I can tell. Yeah, a bit expensive, not too big, though, quite manageable. VAC and Alnic electronics are popular choices with them. | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? Next thing I know, someone will say that choice of tubes doesn't matter either. Great amp will sound great with anything in it. Oh, and power cords make no difference if the power supply is great. | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? Too bad I can't afford to test this. However, Ralph's amps are particular, there is a fan following and there are those who don't like them at all. They are also said to be very good driving electrostatic speakers. Everyone likes VAC and Lamm, no... | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) Maybe nothing else since you like upper level Dynaudio sound. But, yes, this may also be the case of match. | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? RCA cables also can sound very close to each other, but usually when either they are all very bad or all very good. | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? I never met a music lover who didn’t like good sound too. This of course doesn’t mean that they all became audiophiles, most didn’t. When I asked them why not they didn’t know what to say except for usual nonsense like time, money, space etc. No,... |
