| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? I’m not sure if I’d ever want to be trapped in an elevator with you folks, or not. Might make a good reality show... | |
| My experience after lost of 20k$ Like any other source components, good sound starts with the best versions of the title. As the quality of different CD or vinyl releases varies, remastering may be better or worse, etc., you have to seek out the best versions to have the best so... | |
| My experience after lost of 20k$ This is a silly thread, even for Audiogon. What you need for PC audio is knowledge. A PC is a fine front end for digital audio, and doesn’t really need to be expensive, although your choice of DAC may be. But there is a lot of knowledge needed t... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Cables clearly make a huge difference. After I bought my first system I was really upset that I could hear almost nothing. Then I tried interconnects and speaker cables and wow, the sound was so much better! | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" Keep in mind that even with the best speakers, placement, and recording, the speakers will "disappear" only in a listening sweet spot likely not to envelop more than 1-3 listening positions.I had a pair of Martin Logans for a while. They imaged v... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I have a similar taste in music. REL subs my friend! | |
| speakers with balls Monitor Audio silver series are a good compromise between fidelity, balance, and sharpness. Great for metal and prog.BTW I have a pair of Maggie 3,3s rebuilt by John VanL and with 2 REL Subs that is a very good rocking combo. Ive blown a few twee... | |

| Killing Joke anyone??? Be sure and check out the one they did with Grohl (Killing Joke 2003) Agreed. This is a great album. | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? KJ is the best. I saw them in 1989 and they blew the doors off the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. Seminal, really important in the industrial dance/metal movement.Anyone who sticks their audiophile nose up in the air about KJ doesn't know music histo... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano I feel like questions like this are mostly an invitation to brag about one's system. So I will join in:Focal Electra 1007BEThe reason this came to mind is that there is a review - Stereophile I think - that mentions these speakers as being perfec... | |
| Levinson ML-11 Thanks Peter. I saw both of those auctions and I'm seeing if the pricing on the lower priced one is negotiable at all. Building a power supply is also an option I guess, but doesn't seem the most efficient use of $$ since if I can get an ML-11 a... | |
| Levinson ML-11 I'll bump it one more time just in case people missed this. Would appreciate any feedback... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? I'd like to chime back in here. I think what is appropriate or inappropriate relative to forum participation in certain threads depends on the context and the purpose of the thread:(1) When someone asks the community for advice on the best power ... | |
| MQA decoding and CD ripping Check out Roon. It should, pretty soon, do a software MQA decode and it is superb for managing collections. Not very configurable or flexible, or inter-operable with other media software, but a nice user experience. |
