| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? @jsalerno277 well said. You have a wonderful system. I'm not surprised. I'm a Kentuckian living in the middle of bourbon country and can see that your taste in brown liquor is impeccable. That obviously applies to your taste in hifi gear as well. | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? Lots of people here know more about cables than I do so maybe greater wisdom will chime in. But yes, I think certain cable brands- like Cardis- are generally thought to deliver a "warmer" sound, so might pair well with speakers that are on the bri... | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? I don't think it will be an issue-my amp is detailed, but certainly not bright. Your Focals may be on the bright side to some ears. I don't think the Burmester will add to that at all but may not tame it either. If its an issue, you might think ab... | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down I may have. heard him wrong, but I think he said he only makes a few hundred bucks a month from YouTube. He only has 36,000 subs, so can't be making a living from YouTube. I assume-don't know-he gets some sort of accommodation pricing on the equip... | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? In a lot of ways, its a great time to be into music. There is such an array of equipment choices across the price spectrum that will deliver a great experience-something for everyone and every taste. And we tend to take for granted that we have li... | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? @madhusudan_ramaswamy we all look at that sort of thing differently. Value, and money are unnecessarily divisive in our hobby. There are folks who are happy to pay six figures for an amp if it’s what they want and then there are a lot of folks who... | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? I have a Burmester 218 and it is, to my ears, a superb amp. To my ears, it delivers a very natural, musical sound without being slow or soft. I checked out several good brands and landed on Burmester, but certainly no bad choices among the brands ... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Paradigm represents good value. If you like the very clean, transparent sound of Focal-some love it, some don't- Paradigm can deliver similar sound quality at a lower price. The build quality is superb-great company. | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down I enjoy Jay's videos because he gives us a close look at some really great equipment that we don't always see on YouTube. It seems the channels are endless that show $300 amps, but not many at the ultra high end. Even thought I'm not in the market... | |
| Giant ads on threads yes, very annoying | |
| Has anyone sold over $35k worth of equipment over the net? How do you protect yourself? I just sold a piece of gear through TMR and found it to be a very satisfactory process. The equipment sold quickly and this is one way to insulate yourself from having to deal with after the sale issues. It comes at a price, of course, because the... | |
| My SACD Transport feeds so much better signal to my DAC compared with streaming end... This is another of those questions where the only wrong answer is an absolute statement of what is best-or not. I don't find much difference in my streaming set up and CDs-I think its more dependent on the mastering of the track or album. So, the ... | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down I enjoy his videos and met him once-seems like a nice fellow. He showcases equipment you don't see highlighted that often. I doubt I'll be buying much of it, but its interesting to see. I think he said somewhere along the way he's moving to Texas.... | |
| Worthy upgrade? I had heimdall 2 cables when I owned SF Serafinos. Tried more expensive nordhost cables and Audioquest. Any difference I heard was negligible and not necessarily better. That’s just to my ears- many hear a “night and day” difference in cables, but... | |
| Amplifier Paradox…and more! @atmasphere Thanks for this useful information. "its the distortion signature of the amp that governs how it 'sounds.' That is literally the differences you hear in amps," It seems that this truth is often overlooked or misunderstood. |
