| Money Well spent This is what you want cable wise that's cheap by any high end standard & creaming every other cable >http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1120/Silversmith_Audio_Fidelium_Loudspeaker_Cables_R...This is just one of many reviews con... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers I own Focal Utopia loudspeakers. If you're really looking to get much more of the best out of them, doing a parts upgrade in the xover is HIGHLY recommended. They may have an electrolytic as mine did that's well worth replacing but very high end... | |
| All substantive R&D has ended at YG Acoustics? This is excellent news. The co. they're working with has announced they're working on new driver technologies which sounds promising. I'd like to see the midranges upgraded at least to the extent they did with their billetdome tweeters. I've never... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes Anything claiming to use the principles of Quantum Physics to make their products better. Some cable manufacturers in particular but other dubious products a well. The experiments involved to show how QP interacts in the non quantum realm is so e... | |
| Do you care about car audio? It's sad to see some answerers here (by no means all) who otherwise regard themselves as audiophiles proclaiming systems the car came with are high quality. The incredible amount of DSP used that F's up & homogenizes the sound FAR more then a... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Never especially understood the Wilson following - at least the current line. Fabulous bass on many I get that, but nothing at all special about their silk dome. If you want a silk dome that badly, YG does some genuinely interesting things with t... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? There are verifiable statistics to guide us. In Jan. 2021 vinyl album sales were 27% of all record sales. It's only gone up since. We're all audiophiles on this forum so we don't care about the invented "Album-equivalent unit" term marketers use t... | |
| The Absurdity of it All This is THE answer (seriously): Physical hearing parameters of a person that a machine can measure - tell you next to nothing of importance. It's discernment which is all. The ability to ascertain nuance that younger minds & personalities hav... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Whatever you choose to power them optimizing the internals of the speakers will increase the apparent sound quality by as much a 50%. Putting in the best polypropylene capacitors (top Wimas are recommended) & Vishay resistors will do wonders. ... | |
| moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's IF you need to downsize - then downsize. That’s what the 805s are for. They are not lacking in bass but a sub would duplicate your 802 experience. Maybe the platforms underneath the 802 will get the job done. Maybe not. If the latter or you don’t ... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Dan D’Agostino's son Bret certainly agreed with your premise & his co. Bully Sound still has their site up even after his demise so presumably they're some kind of going concern >https://bscaudio.com/Pages/aboutHistory.php | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? This answer is from another question on a similar subject > I knew someone who owned a wooden powerboat i.e. >https://www.classicwoodenboatplans.com/shop/barrelback-custom-19He said either you get it or you don’t. Of course, fiberglass boat... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! I knew someone who owned a wooden powerboat i.e. >https://www.classicwoodenboatplans.com/shop/barrelback-custom-19He said either you get it or you don’t. Of course, fiberglass boats are infinitely more practical & convenient. All it takes i... | |
| members and their systems There is a true story of a famous reform (the least traditional type) rabbi who gave a sermon in Toronto, Canada in the '70s. He recounted he read a story in the press somewhere of a middle-class lady being interviewed about her sexual habits vis ... | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! The worst thing that could happen is if you went through this & got what you paid for as promised. You would then at some point think you could do it again on AG and/or in life in some other way. What you're doing here (& this is an excel... |
