| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? I define critical listening as focusing only on the music-maybe not the precisely correct meaning. Lots of people-my daughters for example-always have music on, but its in the background, while they are doing other things. I bought them both a Mor... | |
| MBL Insolvent I'm not a MBL fanboy-never owned one of its products, and MBL leadership obviously didn't execute a viable plan. I hope MBL survives-I respect what they do. I've never been really tempted by ARC but I know it makes really good stuff and think the ... | |
| MBL Insolvent @ghdprentice I heard those at the southwest Audiofest, might’ve been the debut and I thought they sounded really, really good especially for the price | |
| MBL Insolvent @jasonbourne71 You have a point, these are discretionary products that we can all live without. Of course there are folks who are content to listen to music on a $50 bluetooth speaker who would say people who buy a $200 set of bookshelf speakers a... | |
| MBL Insolvent @lalitk Thank you. I don't think these products are indispensable, I do think they make a subtle but discernible improvement-a bit more clarity and presence. When I've removed them, its not as good but certainly not night and day. The better power... | |
| MBL Insolvent there’s a lot of competition in what is a very small slice of the market. I don’t think high end will go away, but I definitely think it will change. Over the next 5 to 10 years. I think we will see a very significant migration to all-in-one solut... | |
| MBL Insolvent @ghdprentice I agree. Not muchbroom for error in a low volume business with significant capital costs and a competitive environment to boost. It seems to me that these are the businesses the innovate and take risks And we need them to succeed. S... | |
| A controversial takes on low cost speakers with a lesson... @bruce19 that's a pretty creative solution. | |
| A controversial takes on low cost speakers with a lesson... @gano I got your point. This is an interesting guy. As you say, seems to know a lot about cameras. He makes lots of camera videos, a random audio video and, apparently, sells what he calls "luxury hot sauce"- its called Oliveum and is very pricey.... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. @1bitsoul if you are right about that, and what you say makes sense, it will be interesting to see if this strategy works. I can’t imagine their dealers are all that thrilled. That price increase is enough to push them into a range of speakers tha... | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. You have assembled a great system and obviously done it very thoughtfully. Congratulations. I’m sure you will derive great enjoyment from the music. What is your room like in terms of dimensions and treatment? You really do have top-notch comp... | |
| Another Major Audio Company Sold Very sorry to hear this. I’ve owned their headphones and IEMs which I thought were pretty good. Hopefully that will remain, but once these companies sell change is inevitable. | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals I think you bought a great amplifier. I’ve had a chance to hear the 761 and 861 and owned sim products in the past. I suspect you will find you will have enough power for any speakers, and that the sim audio will not color the music in any way, i... | |
| What's a good alternative to SF amati g5? FWIW, I had the Serafinos in my system a few years ago and was looking to move up to the Amati. Both are fine speakers as far as I’m concerned. I auditioned the Il Cremonese and quickly decided they were worth the extra money. I did not find them ... | |
| Clearaudio Performance DC issue I am. That’s good advice. I will give that a try. Thank you. I think this is a great turntable for the money and this is a very odd problem. |
