| Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase? +1, ricred1 & big_greg. I have yet to hear a full range speaker with ‘passive’ bass woofers that can replicate the experience of a well integrated subwoofer. An average user may have this notion that subwoofers are being added to simply extend... | |
| Options for $1k or less DAC? Good suggestions so far, if you wanna pursue a tube DAC, https://www.lineartubeaudio.com/products/mhdt-labs-dacs“The differences that show up between streaming services / quality is likely minimal.”That’s not my experience. With a good DAC, you sh... | |
| Tim deParavicini has passed away Here is a nice tribute to Tim and his accomplishments, https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/tim-de-paravicini-1945-2020?mc_cid=8cd545b4b9&mc_eid=2... | |
| Overrated/Underrated ^^^^As good as Atma-sphere and Lamm offerings are sonically but what’s up with aesthetics...they are like electronics manufactured in 80’s :-) | |
| Acoustic Sound to stop HiRez Download sales I had a feeling the day would come where the hi-Rez downloads will cease to exist. With Qobuz streaming files upto 24bit/192kHz resolution, I have not felt the need to pony up money for downloads. There are many here who have tirelessly debated th... | |
| B&W 803D3 + DB1D vs 800D3 +1, dweller. IMHO, two subs are more optimal in a 2-ch setup. I never felt the need to add more boxes in my 15’D x 30’W room. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? “I do not use streaming service for my serious listening”@vinpic, you’ve nailed it with your post 👇“You shops for ‘mid-range’ streamers between 8-30K (what is top of the range then?) using Mola Mola Tambaqui dac whilst not knowing that the Tambaqu... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? +1, @thyname, follow the solid advise and you won’t be sorry. A streamer wired with a quality RJ45 cable (like Supra CAT8) will sound better than WiFi or Bluetooth connection. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? “Do you hear the difference? If so what would be the possible factor?It sounds like you hear the difference, then could you explain?”OP, please outline your complete audio system before any of us give away our valuable time in explaining why and h... | |
| Audio envy - dang! “people who try a product and post an opinion that differs from audio forum users who report positive opinions are often criticized and/or accused of having inferior systems or listening skills. It creates an environment where dissenting opinion i... | |
| Phono cable upgrade recommendation for MC cartridge I have SME 309 tonearm and recently upgraded from stock van den Hul cable (DIN>RCA) to Audio Envy phono deluxe for under $300/4FT. With AE phono, the differences were far from subtle. In my system, this cable conveys wider soundstage, better tr... | |
| Why do I "need" Audirvana, Roon or the like versus just Tidal App? “Why do I "need" Audirvana, Roon or the like versus just Tidal App?”You don’t....IMO, Roon is overrated. If you’re going to keep the MACBook, Tidal or Qobuz apps are more than adequate to perform all the necessary basic functions. And more importa... | |
| Overrated/Underrated Underrated ~ Audio Envy Overrated ~ Best not to go there! | |
| Accuphase A65 vs ... +1, tecknik. I have not heard A65 but I know Wilson’s loves power. Not knowing your music genre, A65 would probably give you more grunt in bass. I own E-650 and it’s more than capable of driving any speaker, mine just happened to be 96db efficienc... | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable Another vote for Audio Envy NV-SP9, high purity OCC cables. |
