| A controversial takes on low cost speakers with a lesson... at first I actually thought it was a joke. But then he said that Andrew Robinson was his favorite reviewer so right there you can tell this is a high level expert because we all know that Andrew Robinson is the biggest strongest smartest guy aroun... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile My interest was sparked by a college roommate. We lived in an old double wide trailer that was a complete pit. Really nasty. Drank four dollar a case beer and Hiram Kessler whiskey. But he had a great real to reel and speakers that were big and l... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. it appears that Sonos Faber raised prices on all its products between 15 and 20% on June 1. Obviously, this would not have been done without direction from Bose. I think they are pushing their speakers up into the price range of products with whic... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on Everyone likes something different and I don’t intend to take issue with anyone who has had an experience unlike mine. I can only say that I enjoy WBF. I’ve never had anyone try to sell me anything on that site, nor has anyone ever treated me in a... | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community I rarely find Darko interesting, but the points he makes are valid, at least most of them. But they are also obvious. Yes, these internet places get pretty nasty and of course its oxymoronic to spend tens of thousands of dollars on gear, and claim... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. It appears that SF imposed even more price increases on their reference line, one step up from the Amatis. Some of these have been out for quite a while, so I doubt it has to do with R&D, which would have been baked into the original price and... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. There are many possible reasons for the price increase, which have been touched on. Obviously, it would not have happened without Bose approval. The high-end market is thin, it’s not like they’re selling 10,000 of these at a time. I would certainl... | |
| Finally up and playing Very nice system. I’m sure it’s a great sound . | |
| Grislybutter anyone? I hope he comes back. Seems like a nice fellow who always had an interesting perspective. | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on The sideways bend this thread took into non resolving snake oil and psycho acoustic whatever illustrates the difference in the culture of the two cites. I enjoy and learn from both. Fewer personal insults or endlessly redundant posts on WBF and m... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? I don't think the market for quality audio equipment will disappear, but I think it will contract. I'm in my late 60s and as a kid the family listened to our stereo (such as it was) for family entertainment. That entailed actually buying physical ... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on I've been a member of WBF for a while and its been a very positive experience- so has Audiogon. WBF has a little different vibe. It can get a little salty-audiophiles seem to get very emotional about our hobby-but I have rarely seen the nasty pers... | |
| Seller Silence I wouldn’t deal with a seller who wouldn’t acknowledge what appears to be a perfectly valid inquiry. It seems the sensible thing to do is simply to move on. | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI I use perplexity and asked it to analyze my system. perplexity did a good job of providing a lot of detail about my system, and how it could be expected to perform. It did make a few suggestions, but they seemed pretty generic to me. It almost see... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? I’ve used Roon for a few years and, to my ears, I can’t really detect a significant difference between it and other streaming applications. I don’t use any the roon DSP features. By far, the greater difference in sound quality has to do with the v... |
