| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @jeffreyw I had a similar experience, different equipment. I was in love with the look and sound of high power Krell separates until a Burmester 105 watt, model 032 integrated amp seduced me, causing me to divorce my Krells for a younger, cleare... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead Others in this thread have adequately described the benefits and risks of monos vs stereos, so I will not be somniferously redundant. Rather, I will ask you to open your mind and ears to some points to consider. The 462 has independent power su... | |
| What should I upgrade next in my system? I also agree with post by @mclinnguy … it is difficult to answer until his additional questions are answered. Your speakers and amplification are solid performers. However, I cannot comment on the theater processors you are using for I do not ha... | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers One technical issue I forgot to mention. Bi-wiring effectively reduces wire gage a few units. The reason is that an effectively larger diameter has less inductance since it has a larger cross-sectional area, allowing current to flow more easil... | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers @westcoastaudiophile I do not know if your inquiry was directed to me. IMHO you cannot shield an unshielded chunk of copper supplied as a jumper by the extinct Apogee Acoustics as I described and by Martin Logan as @steve_a001 describes. These a... | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers The simple answer is yes, bi-wire. My experience is that bi-wiring always improves all areas of sound quality. The reasons are listed. First, if you do not bi-wire, and your speakers came with unshielded metal jumpers (like my ‘97 vintage A... | |
| One box solution Sorry to hear of your situation. Prayers for a recovery best as possible and for you to assimilate easily into your new living situation. My mother did well for years in independent then transitioning in assisted living. The social interaction... | |
| Raven Audio Soniquil Cables: Misrepresented Build & Tarnishing Connectors? Scientifically, brass and copper both are subject to discoloration from oxidation. However, oxidation of these rhodium plated brass plugs is strange. Stating the obvious, rhodium and gold are used for oxidation resistance while not affecting ele... | |

| Best Classical Labels for Sound I am really dyslectic and it comes out at times. Forgive me “your is”. | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @jfrmusic Either way, positive or negative, let me know what your is opinion of their recording tech. | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound Qobuz does not have a good label search. I also use Qobuz through the Aurender Conductor app. That has a label search but it also is not good. My recommendation is to go onto the 2L home page (www.2L.no) or Stockfish home page (www.stockfish-re... | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound You have accurately described some major labels. +1 on BIS. Also, Proprius offers recordings of excellent timbre, staging and imaging. However, my two favorites are 2L and the small classical collection on Stockfish. These two labels just get ... | |
| Has it all been worth it? You should not have regrets about your journey. We are of the same generation, we have experienced vast technological change from the 60’s to now, We have faced the same challenges as we matured and we have made mistakes. However, I have an opp... | |
| Guidance The guidance I give has been provided in many similar posts - that making incremental improvements or optimizing current systems needs to start with listening to acoustic and amplified music in intimate venues and establishing your perception on h... |
