| Best Floorstanding Speakers Buyers Guide 2023 ! That’s “granite “ from the stone business as in countertops. In a scientific classification, the cabinets are not granite per se. Lots of stuff gets called “granite “ that isn’t. The stonework is Impeccable. But the name matters in terms of under... | |
| Best Floorstanding Speakers Buyers Guide 2023 ! The Acora cabinets are made from gabbro, not granite. Granite has quartz grains in it. Gabbro does not, and it is the coarse grained equivalent of basalt, where granite is the coarse grained equivalent of rhyolite. Granite has about 70% SiO2 in it... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Whenever I have listened to 3.6’s, I did not feel the need for a subwoofer. I would consider matching 3.7’s with a set of Schiit Tyr’s. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. I wonder about the Absolute Sound’s absolute schilling for MQA some years ago. It seemed religious…or financial. It also caused me to realize that this magazine had strayed a long ways from that I subscribed to back in 1974! In any event, I almo... | |
| If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers ATC Acora Magnepan Magico My favs with a strong amplifier, though Acora is always shown with a tube amp | |
| Tubes for a pre stage... matched NEW or unmatched identical NOS? On my Audio Research SP6B, the individual tubes can be biased, and it definitively improves sound quality. +1 re Brent Jessee, excellent guy, my matched Raytheon VT231’s and CBS/Hytron JAN 6S7N’s are wonderful, and he was a knowledgeable pleas... | |
| Rank your least favorite. Trying to avoid Al poor purchase. I have a Hegel V-10 and it’s decent. | |
| For the first time... I had the same gob smacking feeling and reaction when I replaced my Halide Designs HD DAC with a Schiit Yggdrasil. Mind-blowingly better, and the effect increased when I replaced using my Mac laptop as a streamer with an Aurender. MUCH better than... | |
| Qobuz hell I love Quboz, it has revolutionized how I discover and listen to music. I have zero issues with the service. It’s regretful that a few have problems, but this should not dissuade others from trying it. | |
| Favourite Guitarists I saw Rory Gallagher at the Falls Church VA Community Center in either 1972 or 1973, no kidding. Saw Peter Frampton there as well as Nils Lofgren and Brownsville Station. Those days were different… | |
| Favourite Guitarists Boy, I put Derek Trucks above all here. I can’t believe no one has mentioned him. He can play anything, just like Danny Gatton, and has an amazing musical relationship with his wife. Tedeschi-Trucks Band is fantastic. And add Trey Anastasio playin... | |
| The Purest Tonality Under $50K ? New $9K Luxman L-507z Integrated Amp Review Rick2000, 😁 | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! This is a case where one actually has to listen to the YouTube files before making pronouncements. TycoDogg made a series of carefully recorded comparisons on YouTube between differing 6SN7 tubes utilizing the original Schiit Freya. Overall quali... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? And thanks to Lone Mountain bringing ATC Entry Series over here! | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? I have ATC SCM7’s second generation, new ATC SCM40’s, and still have ATC SCM35’s. The latter replace biamped Dahlquist DQ10’s with double subwoofers. I have listened to numerous other ATC models, both in the professional and consumer lines, some a... |
