| From Sonus Faber Extrema to... I cannot imagine that almost 30 yrs in speakers development wouldn't have brought any advantage on the table. @robertofabbri - yes, there have been improvements and yes, you can get better sonics “for a price” by simply going up the SF product... | |
| Hang em High and Gilligan's Island It’s difficult to think about high sonic fidelity with the Gilligan theme song | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @ritter06 - good job! Nice assortment of speakers you’ve demoed which gave you a lot of input in deciding sonic preferences - X3s for great price/performance, Sonus Faber’s more musical presentation, and Wilson for accuracy excellence. How diff... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? although I'm a little disappointed that the majority of choices are no where near inexpensive. @freediver - wishful thinking. For a component to beat box store sonics, from increased costs from engineering, better parts (capacitors, resistors,... | |
| Burn Twetter Speaker +1 likely underpowered amps overdriven to clipping, therefore need more power OR lower volume to non-clipping level. Much less likely - tweeters not engineered well enough for longevity. | |
| Single ended = large images? Interesting, haven’t thought about image size variation and its causes, don’t know if it’s speaker related, electronics, room, speaker placement, distance from speaker, or a combo. Also, regarding SETs, I often think of flea watt amps. I have a 1... | |
| Single ended = large images? I’m wondering if the OP’s forward sounding is the related/same as SET midrange emphasis? | |
| An audio component you just can't let go Koetsu Corralstone - maybe the best “musical” cartridge which is now unobtainable | |
| What's the best bang for my bucks on RP6 upgrade? @dkidknow You’re asking us to answer the upgrade question only you can answer. Yes, you can get a sonic uptick “for a price”, whether this uptick is worth the price only you can answer- we each have unique budgets and commitment to this hobby. ... | |
| FIdelity Cables or Virtual Dynamics That is a question only you can answer. +1 @spatialking @miglos We cannot tell you what sonic changes will happen within your own audio chain + room conditions. We cannot tell you if the change is worth purchasing - we each have different... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue If it works or doesn't work in your system does NOT mean it will work/not work in someone else's system. There are no absolutes in this hobby. I literally cringe when someone uses the term "Snake Oil". Buy it, try it, if you don't like it, re... | |
| Where to purchase cables? Generally speaking, one should purchase cabling at the same level as their audio chain. For instance, if one has a 100k system, high quality cabling is needed to prevent sonic bottlenecks. But if one has an entry system, then minimal should be spe... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports Sometimes coincidences are not coincidences ;) Happy Spinning! | |
| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? Whammerdyne - maybe best...for a price... Looking at Triode Labs for great price/performance. New Audio Frontiers Performance 2A3 MkII - reportedly one of the best 2a3 sonics | |
| Check This Out! other $3000 dacs are not 99% as good. My goodness folks, please post here based on your actual experience with the Cinnamon Galle dac +1 , although my wallet wishes otherwise. While there have been many fantastic sounding DACs <5k in the p... |
