| SACD Players I like Pioneer Elite line. https://www.stereophile.com/hirezplayers/515/index.html | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment Seriously, @xp200dr, I find your behavior puzzling, and you might want to consider consulting a psychologist, preferably one who understands music and audio gear—though maybe not immediately. The price points of the two systems are so drastically ... | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver @big_greg Thank you for bringing this to our attention. After reviewing its specs, it is realized that the xDB model actually 'cheats' a bit and may not be classified as a traditional stand-mount speaker since the entire 'stand' functions as an e... | |
| Stereophile spec measurement baffling(pun?) Agreed. Stereophile is respected for its balance of objectivity and subjectivity, with extensive listening tests backed by proper measurements. ASR and AS, on the other hand, represent two extreme ends of the spectrum, though they shouldn't be dis... | |
| Stereophile spec measurement baffling(pun?) The industrial standard should have always been -3dB or -1.5dB. The perceived sound level drops 19% at -3dB instead of 34% at -6dB. More restricted tolerance is -1.5dB, where the perceived sound level only drops 10%, making it more appropriate thr... | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker I was referring to the 'bass punch' as the mid-bass boost for low-end extension, which is quite common in modern speaker designs. If done well, it doesn’t bother me. However, I’ve made up my mind not to pursue the W/P 3/2. With an additional $2-3k... | |
| Topping B100 Brief Impressions The experience one has may depend on the specific gear each individual owns. While room acoustics and gear placement are also factors, let's set those aside for now. In my case, simply swapping out these smaller amps for my Parasound, with everyth... | |
| Topping B100 Brief Impressions Just finished reading the ASR measurements—amazing stuff! It blows the Benchmark out of the water (within its power rating) and sets a new standard. Although there’s still some room for improvement compared to the B200, the price proposition is de... | |

| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver I would like a bookshelf that can move some air. Big sound. I currently own Revival Atalante 3.They have a nice 7 inch driver. Just shopping for possible upgrades. My room is 14' X 12' Not sure what specific upgrades you're looking for. If you'... | |
| Topping B100 Brief Impressions Congratulations! I’m glad to hear they run much cooler than the V3 monos. How do you find the sonic difference between the two or za3 in mono mode? Would love to hear your impressions! | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker @yoyoyaya As you may know, the efficiency was used to be measured based off a single tone at 1khz via industrial standard. Multi-tone test based efficiency was available through individual sources though. You are right, even looking at the raw imp... | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker @yoyoyaya @mesonto Thank you for pointing out the fault of mid-treble / treble region, which corresponds well to the hum bet. 10k-20khz shown in the Stereophile measurements below. Vertically, the WATT was perhaps best-balanced with the listener... | |
| Schiit Vidar 2 vs Parasound A21 vs Crown XLS-2502 for Magnepan A21 > Vidar 2 >> Crown | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma @trivema You are welcome. I have tried the RC / PEQ with Wiim Pro Plus several times in different listening space at home for three systems and utimately revert back to GEQ as well. Maybe to do with microphone? @baylinor Not sure what is consid... |
