| Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas Sorry, hit send accidentally …adjust SQ and choose a cable that achieves your goal. I hear what you stated in a latter post, that if you do not perceive a difference, why spend more. I agree. But you have resolving speakers and amplification, s... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas Regardless that I never was able to warm up to Wilson’s in general, I respect their house sound. You have established an eminently musical system that I believe needs more than Amazon 12 gage speaker cables. I also recommend like, GH and Bayli... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic Thank you. I did not know the Strawbs backstory in the ‘70s. I researched the backstory about two years ago after the Strawbs popped up in the “similar artists” column on Qubuz when playing Journey. The notes told the back story and ... | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. I will generalize at the chance of rebuttal for generalizing. As a member of the Baby Boomer generation and in my teens during the Year of Love, no matter how shallow or deep your hippie social- democratic philosophies were at the time, everyon... | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. Congratulations on approaching your end game. You have some excellent, musical equipment. I have been at what I consider my end game system for over a year. I made improvements over two years prior to enjoy in retirement. I do not anticipate a... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile @gano ”Led Zeppelin II always sounds amazing” Agreed. Off topic, and I assume you have, but if not … did you watch “Becoming Led Zeppelin”? Real good documentary with excellent concert footage and sound quality. I never researched their beginni... | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer @mazian @ghdprentice @jallan Another +1 Aurender. Most musical I auditioned of the majors in my budget. | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile My love for audio equipment started in the late 1968 when my father upgraded from his Motorola tube console to separates (Large Advents, Pioneer SX 828, Thorens 161, and Stanton 681). Soon after, with money saved from my gardening route of four n... | |
| cable recommendation please from router to wall? While I am a firm believer based on audition that high end component to component connections (phono, USB, interconnect, and speaker cables) and power cables make a substantial improvement in sound quality, I have not found that difference in wall... | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover The Burmester 032 or the new 232 integrated amp combines tube like liquidity, dimensionality, sweet (non fatiguing/no edginess) high frequencies, midrange bloom, and image density with the transient speed, micro/macro-dynamics, bass power, clarit... | |
| Footers under new speakers +1 on the Townshend Audio Seismic Isolation Podium for Speakers. I have them and can verify what is published on their performance and improvement to all SQ attributes is true. Not inexpensive but worth the spend. | |
| Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue? The following is based on the assumption all electrical connections have been checked, the output sensitivity of the new cartridge is matched to the phono preamp to assure there is no overload/clipping, the preamp/cartridge Capacitance has been... | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. While the Oppo 103 was sort of revolutionary at its price point in features and sound quality, DACS sound quality has progressed over the years. I agree with the others to retire the Oppo. Replace it with either a preowned Wyred4Sound 10th Anniv... | |
| If there is one thing you could change in your current system. What would it be? @deep_333 Yes, the Great Lake region of NY offers much better value. Had a job opportunity at B&L Rochester in the late 90’s that I turned down and was amazed at the value. I would have my room there, plus lake front and pool. In-law famil... | |
| If there is one thing you could change in your current system. What would it be? The question has been posed many times before. I will respond as I have in the past. I would change nothing with the component system. However, living in the overpriced and overrated suburbs of NYC, with extraordinary real estate and educati... |
