| recommended speaker cables and interconnects I would go with Blue Jeans Cables...high quality and they make them up to order. Reasonably priced. | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? In my experience, a well resolving system makes a mediocre recording sound worse, as it brings out everything in that recording | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I like the idea of an integrated...but hard to biamp... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? I do not know if they do or not, but I really like my Maggies MGIIIa. I enjoy the sound much more than box speakers. I really do not care about deep strong bass; the Maggies produce nice clean bass and enough for me. | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? I have been a fan of F1 for a long time....I also raced vintage cars for 26 years..and am still into sports cars. Of course, I only use my home theater setup to watch F1, not my music stereo... | |
| Magnepan and Bob Carver Raven amps I have a pair of MGIIIa ...I biamp them with Bryston 3B amps...they probably put out 225-250 into 4 ohms mono. They drive them very well. | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio sometimes good equipment brings out the worst in bad recordings...I too have Maggies, but have no problem listening to LZ. There are other much worse recordings, both on vinyl and CD. I think vinyl masks the poor quality of the recording more t... | |
| I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank.... I recommend Blue Jeans cables. Excellent quality at a fair price. | |
| Where are the cheap home streamers? I second the choice of a Node 2i..works well, but with any streamer, make sure you edit your music library for duplicates, odd titles etc. I only have about 8200 songs, but no hiccups. My oppo dvd also streams to my HT setup, but not as seamless... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? I would suggest the Magnepan LRS...they are ready made for a small room. I have the MGIIIc larger ones in a small to medium room...they work great. The LRS also do not have huge power requirements. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? the stands which lift your speaker cables off of the floor | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? power cords | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. Too much compression in most popular music. Kills the dynamic range. | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables The Telarc 1812 Overture with real cannons is excellent for tracking and dynamic testing.I also concur with Brothers in Arms | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Don't forget https://www.elac.com/product/dpa-1m-monoblock-digital-power-amplifier/I listened to these and thought they were very good |
