| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? @jasonbourne”Altec Voice Of The Theater!”these were my system in the 70s - bi-amed (60w 15”, and 30w to horns. Audiophile?A: yes by definition. B: not high end by a long shot. All I had to start were Sheffield Lab direct to disc recordings. Concer... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers @noromance ”At least you didn't wake up with a girl in Nogales.”Tell us more 😜😂😂 | |
| Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! Very interesting, and sold locally. An audition is in order.$12k seems reasonable. The No.2 is also on “deep discounts”. Anyone have a sense of the differences? | |
| High expectations when listening to an orchestra Even bad live music beats recorded music, on many systems 😎 | |
| Apple Launching Lossless Music Subscription Service? Is their audience those that listen in their Apple device with Apple earbuds?until we can stream it natively on all the popular streamers, it’s just a misuse of bandwidth. | |
| Drivers and how to clean them: Notes from ScanSpeak I had a 2004 Porsche Cayenne with a subwoofer under the spare tire. There was a leak (they never could find) that filled the space with water. In spite of the “blub-blub” bass, the driver was extremely clean 😜😂😂😂I take all my speakers into the sho... | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs “I'm not in the market to buy two $2500 subs to replace a single older $2k sub; I would entertain two newer $1500 subs, however.”this makes you the perfect candidate for a pair of T9x subs. As a T/9i satisfied user, I can say these are excellent a... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Fingers crossed: I just replaced a very old LG Commercial monitor (straight monitor) with an LG OLED TV. Then I had to replace a perfectly good but older Denon AVR due to the (too frigging smart) eARC crap. | |
| So done with audiophile fuses I just replaced all the breakers in my AC panel with solid 2 AWG copper - so far so good 🤷♀️ | |

| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Parasound P6 is lovely, and has a very clean audio chain as well as RCA and XLR balanced outs. Bonus - $1600 not to bad of an investment if you later decide to spend more. Parasound Halo JC 2 Is a higher end pre at $4500whar are the speakers? | |
| What is better, analog or digital? What is the make and model of your cartridge?Shape of stylus, condition of the record, mastering situation, quality of raw vinyl, and how many presses from each child. How clean is the record?OTOH, I just caught a couple hours of some great Bob Ja... | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... At times I miss my Nakamichi cassette - it’s gone as of around ‘89... I have an ADS that just began eating tapes. Also have a Tandberg R-R that needs an overhaul - but I have no real library to play, and will not waste my older years in recording ... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Too many permutations here to have a valid discussion. For example, a bi-amped system with electronic XOs allows for a dedicated amp to control the bass driver and not need as much passive XO at the speaker level. Then there is amp design, driver ... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree Nakamichi took a questionable format into a famous one. Selling my LX7 was the worst move I ever made in audio. Sold it to a tech that worked on them, so he knew what he was doing. |
