| Finally added Accuphase to my collection congrats - enjoy! accuphase is very smooth very musical utterly refined, and of course, built to last criticisms of accuphase, if any, are that the bass doesn’t hit hard/deep enough, the sound can be somewhat midrange centric, highs maybe a litt... | |
| Why do I need a switch? for me a nicer switch made a difference, but as part of a more extensive setup with various items helping with noise suppression, improved clocking, and superior power management -- the switch was but one element that said, i would say that for m... | |
| Stereo or monoblocks @ghdprentice your post got me thinking... people will post asking ’hey, what about this one factor in hifi?’ (e.g. stereo vs mono amps... r2r vs d-s digital conversion... single ended vs balanced... metal vs soft dome tweeters... 6dj8 vs 6h30p.... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? lots of silly banter about the words here, as i read the responses... i think what @decooney is asking about is whether newer, higher end speakers tend to portray the sound of the music they are playing differently than older top-line speakers...... | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 op best you describe, best you can, what you want to improve sonically over your ushers parasound jc1’s will drive pretty much anything well so that isn’t a screen for what speakers will work well for you short of you finding the best way possi... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile the fallacy expressed by some, like the comment above, is that many/most experienced, dedicated folks here with money, spending fairly decent money on this pursuit are doing it stupidly, and for all the wrong reasons (bling, self aggrandisement, i... | |
| Dark Horse DAC @brauser sure you can read posted specs all day... or you can own the unit and report experiences gained, which i just did and yes i am sure the mk2 version will have it all fixed... 😉 hope you buy one, find out for yourself, and report back -... | |
| I just moved and insurance yes, a proper homeowners policy would have you covered just make sure the limits in the policy are consistent with the value of the gear good luck | |
| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass @jsbelieve to be honest i really don’t care enough about your plight to be upset in the least i am just amused that someone would show indigation, negativity, and a foul attitude to people trying to help, after having asked for it -- thus my la... | |
| Dark Horse DAC op the doge is old news, was dac of the month a few years back sonically it is quite good sounding but despite all the tubes in the output section, the output stage and level was relatively weak in my experience and presented some background noi... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? @decooney to me the newer sound is u-shaped freq response across the range the old ’sizzle boom’ more overt detail, less effort to ’hear into the music’ perfect synopsis of this is to compare the old school spendor classic 100/sp100/r2 sound v... | |
| Galion TS120 @dz13 @jjss49 Is this an amp you’ve actually heard? Why is this, in your opinion, the answer to everything? yes in fact i have heard the arc i-50 at length, it is a spectacular amp, thus i highly recommend it, not to mention it is made in min... | |
| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass @gdnrbob- Nothing in the system is lacking. ...well, except the bass love it when a new guy comes here, asks for help, expresses frustration on a problem then pisses on others’ attempts to help, says he knows all about the basics (but still h... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… Until they aren't. Tube amplifiers with output transformers, regardless of how good they are wound are not as transparent as their OTL or direct drive counterparts (given a level playing field). I've have all three design types and it's pretty cl... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile @grislybutter Once again I have to ask, "How hard is it for you to wake up every morning?" Your self flagellation is laughable. There are several problems with your thinking process, the first being is it is none of your business what other peopl... |
