| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Nothing at all uppity about your question and if you spend a lot of time with your system, not a bad way to invest your gain. I take your point that you don't want to get into streaming, etc. so will try to give you some thoughts that are responsi... | |
| Is my amp good enough? You have a good plan. Speakers first, but I would definitely ask the dealer to hear them with electronics as close to what you have as is possible. good luck! | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? bob70 I had that eight track player that you referred to which I lovingly installed in my 1969 Plymouth Fury. The sound quality was- loud- and glorious to my then acute ears. Felt like the Allman Brothers were in my backseat. has anyone defined ... | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? You might check out the Founders series to better match budget. At any rate, I think the Anthem is exceptional for the money and pairs well with Paradigm speakers. Good luck finding the right fit! | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? With your budget you can get a really nice system. If you prefer to spend it on departs and do speakers later that's certainly an option. For the money, you could do speakers and an integrated and be in a really good place for example, you could... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I've learned a lot from this forum and have received some helpful advice, and for that I am grateful. I've also noticed that there are those who post here that seem to have a lot of misplaced emotion and are self appointed authorities on everythin... | |

| Which Would You Choose? It seems that if in fairness to those seeking an opinion, those rendering an opinion should give the basis for the opinion. If you believe a component is "midfield" whatever that is, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Obviously, if you ha... | |
| Which Would You Choose? To answer the question you posed, I own the Michi S5 and I have been very satisfied with the performance. As someone said, it's probably not going to compete with an amp three times the price, but that should be no surprise. I recently was lookin... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Yes, Sonus Faber Il Cremonese suits my room and delivers very satisfying sound doubt I'll be moving on from them | |
| Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker. People immersed in this pursuit almost always believe there is something we can do to get "better" sound. Sometimes the means becomes the end, but I think the OP describes the difference between the relatively few who are very serious about this h... | |
| PS audio or Moon I can't speak to the others but I on the simaudio 390 and believe it is a solid performer. Does everything well for a one box solution. Build quality in simaudio products is very high and to do better Ithink you would have to pay quite a bit more. | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC I have the Dcs Bartok apex and have been very satisfied I upgraded my Bartok to Apex version and found the improvement significant I have Sonus Faber Il Cremonese speakers and the Bartok East Apex has been a very satisfying match there are un... | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) Given that you like the dynaudio sound, I would think the confidence series would be the most natural path. I've had a chance to hear them a few times and they sound really good, the only negative I heard is i thought they lost a lot off axis |
