| Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better? I have an ARCAM AVR 550, Paradigm Prestige AVR, BlueSound Node 2i, OPPO 105, two REL SHO's. I have a dealer that would sell me a brand new Luxman 509 for $7,000 ($3,000 off). He would also sell Focal Kanta 2's speakers for $6,000 brand new. The... | |
| Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ? I like the sound of Rockports. They are easy to listen to and very full sounding. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I would be curious if someone did a blind test between separates and integrated if they could hear the difference. If they can hear the difference, what would they hear? They would need to use a manufacturer that manufactures separates as well a... | |
| Time clock sync devices I would think that is why there are more expensive streamers out there. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? I am a big fan of efficient speakers. I don't understand why manufactures make 4 ohm speakers for example. I believe you need more power to drive them. If that is the case, I would imagine this in turn creates more distortion. Not sure if I un... | |
| Just a public call out Wouldn't you need a lot of power to drive 4 ohm speakers? | |
| Neutral, transparent, warm I would listen to a lot of speakers and then chose the one that sounds best to you. It also depends upon the music you listen. If you like to hear crisp highs like cymbals then choose tweeters that can produce this sound. If you have some local... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? Luxman is the way to go. | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. I have a BlueSound Node 2i. Would this hook up to my BlueSound? Has anyone done a true blind test? This would require someone to change the connections to do an A/B comparison without the listener knowing the source by doing a random switching ... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Wait until the United States starts writing checks for $trillions to rebuild Ukraine. We will contribute 90% to rebuild Ukraine. We should send a bill to Russia. Perhaps tell Russia we will lift some of the sanctions if they pay to rebuild. As... | |

| Used amps, how to tell if,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, What do you mean by caps? I am sure I am not the only one who doesn't know what the term Caps means. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. You can buy a nice house for$1.6 million. Perhaps, call it the House Collection on a Wrist? | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion I am a fan of Salk Song3 Encores. I was most impressed at the RMAF. | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… It seems like there is a lot of maintenance and expense to maintain a tube amp. Still not sure why some choose a tube amp over solid state. I believe they sound warmer. However, who would want to keep up with buying replacement tubes. My son i... |
