| Seek advice on forums but always listen to your own ears! Seeking advise, recommendations and suggestions from other audiophiles, whether it be from forums like this, or from sales persons at your local high end audio dealers, is just a natural aspect of being an audiophile. We've all done it, at some p... | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… @toddcowles All you can do is the old "Trial and Error" in your system, because everything effects everything. You have to figure out what's causing the brightness in your system by, I think, first, switching out your cabling. I personally belie... | |
| Ethernet cables There's literally an ocean of different ethernet cables out there, at various price points. And, if you ask what peoples opinions and preferences are in ethernet cables on a forum like this, you're subject to get a thousand different answers. Ho... | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @tattooedtrackman I’m happy that the Pegasus interconnects have already sold (they sold very quickly). Also, I don’t even think about the ultra expensive cables like Firebird or Dragon, because, for me, they’re so far outside of the realm of affor... | |
| Digital newbie I was in your shoes about four years ago. And, like yourself, it was quite helpful to listen to various suggestions and recommendations from others. There're so very many variables and options available to you when it comes to building a digita... | |
| Help with XLR ICs. Over the past 25 years, I’ve owned several different high end XLR interconnects, from several different manufacturers. About three years ago, I switched from another brand to a pair of Audioquest Earth interconnects, and they were just wonderful f... | |
| Apogee Acoustics repair @mijostyn I love Sound Labs ESLs, as well. In years past, I've also owned Acoustat, Magnepan and Analysis Audio ribbon speakers. Currently, I own Revel Salon 2 speakers, which represents the end of the road for me as far as speakers go. Still, I... | |
| Apogee Acoustics repair I agree with mijostn. If you’re a fan of the ribbon sound, the old Apogee speakers can be very hard to resist. However, it you want to go down that path, expect the worst, just because of they way they were built, their age, and the deterioration ... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Doesn't make any difference to me who the manufacturer is. Great reference caliber SQ is great reference caliber SQ. If Tekton was able to pull it off, then Kudos to Tekton!!! | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal I currently have both Tidal and Qobuz but I do prefer Tidal over Qobuz. For me, Tidal just seems to be more user friendly and also provides the user with more music selection options than Qobuz. There’s no noticeable difference in SQ between the t... | |
| Anyone that have try Tubulus interconnect cable? @2whizz2 Hello. How did the Tubulus silver cables work out for you? I know. It's been a while. | |
| Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects Sure , I thought about a demo loan. However, since the Thunderbird is an upgrade to and a higher performer than the Pegasus (copper), which I absolutely love, I'm pretty confident that the Thunderbird will be more to my liking than the Pegasus. I... | |
| Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects @bwguy The Pegasus sounds so excellent in my system, I'm still questioning my decision to pull the trigger on the Thunderbird. Now, I'm expecting the far more expensive Thunderbird to fly me to the moon. I'll let you know. | |
| Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects As I've touted from the mountain top, as much as I like the Pegasus in my system, I've just ordered the Thunderbird XLX, and look very much forward to receiving them. Happy listening. | |
| At what point do you... Personally, I try to always buy used. Buying pre-owned gears has worked out beautifully for me for over 20 years, and I've saved a ton of $$$$ in the process. High end audio is way too expensive, and with such a vast global on-line market at our... |
