| 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. | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio @pickindoug +1. Very well said. Its all about building a system that brings you joy for what you are willing and able to spend. Its not a competition- its what works for each of us, all with different ears, tastes and budgets. | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio it seems that the most pressing issue for many audiophiles is how other people choose to spend their money, | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? I would experiment with speaker placement first because it costs nothing. You didn’t mention acoustic treatments, but that would be next on my list if your room is not treated because it may bring you all sorts of benefits In addition to entertain... | |
| Luxman Where are you? Big Kids Toys Audio in Greensboro, NC and Covington, Ky is a good dealership. My experience has been very positive. | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? it’s amazing, and a little bit sad, how the relative amount of financial resources expended on a hi-fi system is such a point of division. Everyone has their own budget representing what they are willing and able to spend on a system. If someone i... | |
