| What tier do you consider Anthem integrated? I’ll throw my .02 in here. Someone else described the passlabs as being warm, lush, etc. Anthem products to me have always sounded very “sterile.” Neither is bad. It’s a preference. And I think in most cases, you’d be happy either way. I prefer a... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? I think in my lifetime, I've set up at least 12 home theater systems at 5 different houses now, some for me, some for friends/ family. And I will say this, yes, in my opinion, getting surround sound is worth it. Even if you're streaming. Having sa... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @rodman99999 - no. anyone with any "inkling" of the scientific process knows - you form a hypothesis, not a theory. Either you don't know the difference, which, may be very possible. Or worse, in your condescending message towards me, you use inex... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @ghdprentice I didn't ask for anyone to measure the cable inductance, impedance, or resistance, I asked for a mic to be setup in the listening position, record cable 1, vs. cable 2 with all other things being equal. Maybe those who believe cab... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! I don’t understand, with the descriptors often used for cables, how we don’t have clear measurements showing the “dramatic changes” users report hearing. I’m not suggesting testing the cable, but rather, testing the sound of cable 1 from the LP, a... | |
| Best AMP for GE Triton Reference Speakers @stereo5 @noromance I can see where Noromance is coming from to an extent - the speakers can be dull and not very dynamic, but I think it depends on the music being played. If it's fun, dynamic, music, GE's just faithfully reproduce that, no mor... | |
| Best AMP for GE Triton Reference Speakers I should have said this to start too - but my current Anthem P2 was 1) purchased used and 2) isn't working correctly. And while this is silly, the looks leave a bit to be desired. It still works, and I really like the sound of it, but I notice one... | |
| Best AMP for GE Triton Reference Speakers @noromance What do you not like about them? (Not trying to argue, just curious of what your thoughts are.) | |
| Best AMP for GE Triton Reference Speakers I have an Anthem P2 statement amp now. Which could explain why I lean towards that sound. | |
| Best AMP for GE Triton Reference Speakers McIntosh is out. I stopped at the dealer today and listened to them paired with a couple of MCs. They were great at a lot of things, but string instruments sounded off to me especially in the mid to higher range. The sales guy said something about... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality 4afsanakhan: I can completely understand why you heard the difference given the tests you ran. Airplay compresses and downmixes music to about 1/4 of what the original is - it is not a bit-perfect stream and it is not lossless. (It is very good - ... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality George - I agree with you on some things you mention here, but you're confusing file compression with music compression and they are two very different things. (Both have their place with music - but they're very different.) File compression allow... | |
| Anybody gone from ethernet to optical for connection to a streamer? I can't speak to the optical portion of your question here - but I do know I swapped out my normal, everyday ethernet cable with an "audiophile grade" CAT 7 cable from Pangea. And it introduced the absolute worst ground loop/ hum into my system th... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player Hey Bill - I only have experience with the Maratnz SA-10 - and that was only a demo at my local shop - so I'm not an expert. But I found it to have a warmer, sort of softer sound to it over other CD/ DACs I listened to. It's not quite as edgy when... | |
| Apple Dolby Atmos Music - Absolute GAME CHANGER! Fiesta - honestly, I always thought I was a purist - but now I have doubts. And I agree, without hearing it - I thought it was a gimmick, but now that I have heard it - just wow. I might be wrong. But, if you have the ability, please give it a lis... |
