| Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects? There are so many wonderful sounding cables out there on the market these days, it can sometimes be very difficult to choose one over the other. I never got the opportunity to hear the iconoclast cables, but what I can tell you is this, I believe... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Answer? Whatever bass response the recording calls for. Some recordings call for not so tight bass, and some have very tight bass. In other words, your speakers and your components should be neutral, and not effect the bass response negatively ... | |
| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. Poor customer service isn't only a growing trend amongst high-end audio manufacturers/dealers, it's also a growing trend throughout American society/ businesses in general. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? There are so many speakers out there that aren’t as bright as yours (Sonus Faber, for one). Sorry, you’ve just got to do the research and figure this one out for yourself, as this situation requires in-person/in-home/in-store auditioning for you ... | |

| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @ei001h I have a very power hungry pair of Revel Salon 2 speakers that are magnificently powered by a Hegel H590 integrated amp, in a moderately sized room. You have a nice large room and I would say that the extremely powerful, extremely high... | |
| Ethernet cable - but which one? As with all other types of cables, if you don't believe that cost and quality is important, then you'll be shortchanging yourself. After trying lesser ethernet cables in the past, I run three $2000 each Shunyata Research Sigma ethernet cables in ... | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair I never ask for such advise on these forums as this type of issue requires my own personal research and leg work to figure it out. All the suggestions and recommendations by others won't do you much good if you can't audition the speakers for you... | |
| Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice I have Tidal and Qobuz streaming services. They both sound great. I prefer the sound of Tidal. There's so many real nice streamers in todays market. I use the streamer in my very high-end DAC, and it sounds fabulous. Happy listening. | |
| Chinese DAC's @freediver The high end audio market is a global market in which China plays a most critical role. Not just audiophiles who trade with China, but all Americans will be effected by having to pay significantly higher prices when trading with China.... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? Remember the old TV commercial where a beautiful female model looks straight into the camera and states "Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful?" Well, the same applies to our more well-heeled audiophiles. Don’t hate, or question, or resent our wea... | |
| ripping/streaming? I have a Roon Nucleus Plus with 4 TB SSD. I have a couple thousand CDs. I figured that ripped CDs would sound better than streaming. When I first got the Nucleus Plus, I ripped a few CDs via dBpoweramp, then transferred them to the SSD. This w... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? IMHO, no component in high end audio falls under the law of diminishing returns more than DACs. However, if you’ve got the cash.............. Happy listening | |
| Music streaming If you want the ultimate in streaming sound quality (for me and my audio system, Tidal came out #1) go with either Tidal, Qobuz or both. Happy listening. |
