| Analog invites you to turn up the volume Different sources sometime play louder, or, less loud, at the same volume levels, just like sometime volumes levels change from track to track. I found that streamed music on my audio rig sounds just as satisfying to me at loud volume levels as m... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I'm old guy who grew up on CD, vinyl, cassette tape, 8 track and reel-to-reel. When CD arrived, I found myself using my turn table less and less, so, eventually, I got rid of it (and everything else), and stuck with playing CD exclusively. Why, ... | |
| Apogee Calipers worth anything I can't tell you how many times over the past 15 years or so, I seriously considered purchasing a nice pair of old Apogee speakers. They're so very tempting. However, upon further research, I found out that all Apogee speakers are more like tick... | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse I have never purchased a pair of speakers unheard in my entire 40 year audiophile journey. Speakers are far too subjective for anyone to take a chance on purchasing without auditioning them first. My recommendation to you would be to, if the spe... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Miles Davis by a country mile!!! #1: The Miles Davis Kind of Blue album is the best selling and greatest jazz album of all-time. #2: Albums sold worldwide= Miles Davis= over 9.2 million vs Chet Baker= a mere 70,000. No contest. | |
| The end of physical media is neigh Sometime, convenience can come to the sacrifice of quality. At least, at first, before the new convenient technologies have had a chance to evolve and improve. I no longer watch movies via surround sound, DVD and Blu-ray, like I did 15 or 20 years... | |
| Are Lampizator DACs uniquely analog sounding? @mglik If you feel strongly that your dCS DAC "frequently falls into the category of background music," then you are most assuredly using the wrong DAC. As for myself, I retired my CD player and my TT four years ago and now stream my music exclus... | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers This is definitely one of those situations where you must simply go out and thoroughly audition both pairs of speakers and let your own ears be your guide. Happy listening. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV or Revel f226be Well, you're dealing with two totally different animals here; box/cone vs horns. However, I would most definitely run with the Revel f226be speakers (with a pair of quality subs), which would be totally killer. Although I've owned and enjoyed h... | |
| Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed One of the Hegel integrated amps!!! | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? Rave reviews or not, I would be very hesitant about buying any audio component/speakers without first auditioning them. If you're that interested in the speakers, then you'll have to take your time and somehow find a way to be able to sit down an... | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp I would strongly recommend one of the smaller Revel PerformaBE speakers. The performance-to-dollar value of the Revel PerformaBe speakers is off-the-charts!!! Beryllium tweeters, super tight, deep bass, 90 db, and beautifully constructed. The comb... | |
| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? In over 25 years, I've never used a full loom of cables in any of my audio systems. Currently, I'm using 3 different brands of cables in my audio system with excellent results. | |
| Looking for a CD Player @smerk We subscribe to Tidal as well as Qobuz (Qobuz was cheaper 3 years ago than it is now), at a cost of about 10 bucks a month each. We also rip our old CDs as well. We made sure we purchased very high quality streaming components and cabling... | |
| Looking for a CD Player @smerk We're senior age, too. We got tired of albums and CD players, so we went with streaming all the way, and we love it. We've never been happier!!!! I understand you opted not to stream your music. Just my 2 cents. Good luck on your CD ... |
