| Potential upgrade path… 1) Speaker placement 2) Amp 3) Preamp 4) Speakers 5) DAC and room treatments. Very few speaker models have been intentionally designed to be placed against a wall, but most "audiophile" speakers should not be against the back wall - shoul... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy "Customization" increases costs. It is easier and cheaper to design one then sell multiple units than to custom design for each client for a single sale. Trying to design speakers to match each customer's "subjective" tastes is NOT an easy task ... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? I'm MQA indifferent - it won't affect my purchasing decision. | |
| What is the most important cable in your system 1) Power 2) Speaker 3) Interconnect @favresj Thanks for sharing your Audioquest Firebird HC vs Dragon HC. I would have guessed the difference would be slightly better. | |
| Klipsch La Scala replacement? Volti Audio Razz horn speaker - high sensitivity, fantastic reviews, and seemingly more neutral/linear than the Klipsch lower models. Heard them at AXPONA - sounded terrific. If you really love the La Scala's horn presentation, the Volti Razz ma... | |
| Snowballs Getting snowballed by strangers is generally frowned upon, wearing increased protective gear or participating/spectating in a sport does not negate this. | |
| Endgame Vocal+ DAC Help: Terminator Plus 12th vs. Chord DAVE vs. Holo May vs. Weiss502. OP, for midrange vocals and musically and non-interest in hyper detail I suggest the Lampi Baltic3 tube DAC which performs way above its price point. You can also do some tube rolling to further dial in to your tastes. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I have both a SS class D and 300B flea watt systems but I draw the line on very hot room heating tube amps | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION Andrew Jones is a seasoned speaker designer genius. I suspect this bookshelf speaker will be a sonic bargain punching way above its price point. | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects This at $25 each plus shipping? If you get someone to order for you with an Amazon Prime account then shipping is free | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention Looking forward to a review vs the top cartridges. Maybe one piece diamond stylus+cantilever is superior. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) China” is such a gross oversimplification to use to generalize it is rediculous. +1 Lower labor and possibly lower materials costs are not the same as lower quality. Sure there are cheap inferior products and fake copies, but it is not univ... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I don’t bring it up to avoid inviting criticism. I get zero satisfaction from envy. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @plaw Perhaps you're sensitive to high frequencies. Is your entire audio chain solid state? What's your source, analog or digital? | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners The Humminguru seems bargain priced. The Kurmiss seems to clean as well as the Degritter and the Audiodesk based on Fremer's assessment, but a lot of steps to accomplish it. KL is out of the USRCM business The Degritter is a later design, does ... |
