| Who are some of elite sub woofers? For music it is Rel, Rel, Rel. They're not amazing home theater subs as they don't scare the heck out of you when something explodes on screen. But they're awesome for music - they don't make the room shake, they make vocals sound real. I also ... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black Here is a pro-fun suggestion. It may not exactly be about a direct path to the highest upgrade, but as implied by the budget of the OP I actually think it will in the end be a good milestone in the ascension to higher audio:(1) Upgrade to an Orto... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? 2/3 Chicago 1/3 SW Michigan. Chicago is a great place to try and buy HiFi. Home of Saturday Audio Exchange! | |
| Can this be good first tube amplifier? Don’t listen to all the elites! As a first tube experience, Yaqin is great. I had a tube line stage preamp and it was really fun to roll with it. I’d suggest you start with just a preamp as then you don’t have the variable of the power stage tu... | |
| Difference in sound using different carts when digitizing vinyl record? I feel like a device like the sugar cube will clean up the sound but at the expense of the true analog character. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Ramones, Nirvana, Cheap Trick, Kiss | |
| Why didn't DAT tape decks succeed in the market? DATs were well before recordable compact disc players. But there was never any significant (or any at all?) content for DAT commercially, so it would be only for recording vinyl. You couldn’t even record a CD to DAT because of the (breakable) copy... | |
| Is there actually a difference? Tone vs dynamics. Not everyone knows what to listen for. | |
| 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... |
