| 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 ... | |
| Yet another Sub Question Get two subs!!! | |
| Borresen X3 measurements @prof I never stated that measurements don’t matter, because they most certainly do, to some audiophiles. However, I say again, I doubt if the average audiophile pays much attention to measurements when it comes down to choosing a particular pair... | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre @audiogabby Yes, JPS Labs cables are all made of "Alumiloy" or Aluminum Alloy. IMHO, the JPS Superconductor 3 speaker cables are some of the best speaker cables on the market, regardless of price (save for their top speaker cables, the Aluminata)... | |
| Tidal and Qobuz playback No issues with Tidal or Qobuz here. | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables!!! Trust me on this one. Over the last 15 years, I've upgraded every cable in my audio system (including upgrading my entire audio system), except for my JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables. Discont... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements @james633 True, my Revel Salon 2s do measure very well. However, the best measuring speakers are not necessarily the best choice for everyone. For example: Technically speaking, solid state amplifiers generally measure much better than tube amplif... |
