| Streaming through Marantz Pre/Pro Thanks @kota1 @spenav I have had full systems with various dacs including Esoteric K03xs, Lampizator Amber and PS Audio Perfectwave my best results were with the Esoteric F05 integrated at the time and all of these have been sold. My curren... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? Musical, has sufficient dynamic contrast across the frequency range to reasonably present music as live even if studio recorded. Oddly, some of the most obvious are backing soundtracks to advertisements... that somehow seem to have to most obvious... | |
| Galion TS120 Time for noodles…and music. | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? Let me see, where did my flat response misunderstanding start... I'm a logical thinker, other than when I'm not, and can be both at times. Flat response to me does not speak at all to it's meaning in use here in the audio world. 'Flat response' s... | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? Thanks everyone for sharing your perspectives. Love the humour, good cheer and facts shared. | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? Nice unsupported accusations about me there. Here’s some quotes from Wiki “The purposes of the equalization are to permit greater recording times (by decreasing the mean width of each groove), to improve sound quality, and to reduce the groove d... | |

| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue If you like tests, run a listening test…generally the better the power cord for your system the better the results that you can hear.

| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) I have carpet on underlay on concrete in my HT and engineered timber on underlay in my living room. Would love to try these podiums in both areas to experience the same results as found here by the OP. Nice results… | |
| I want more bass… The only other power amp I have on hand at the moment is a Marantz 8077 HT amp. Plus I have a corresponding AV pre the 8805 that I could swap out for the 1509 packing as a pre. Alternatively, I’ll need to switch these to the LS10SE preamp or try ... | |
| I want more bass… Yesterday I did a few things 1. Got my subwoofer working again I’m not sure why there was no sound out before. Something to do with the AVR settings. 2. Ran Audessy again across the whole system setting front horn speakers to large 3. Ran bass... | |
| The Impossible Has Happened Along these lines… what would an ideal review look like and what business model supports a mag full of that ideal review style? | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? And please make sure your address is easily found so we prioritize our targets 😁 | |
| I want more bass… @pokey77 indeed, its a crazy hybrid mess! Marantz AVR1509 used as a pre/digital source... sometimes fed by a Pioneer LX800SE for SACD CD Bluray. |
