| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) I wish I could hear a blind testing on a very expensive system on vinyl vs streaming. I have always thought vinyl to be noisy and it is time consuming to have to get up and change a record. It might even be more fun during a blind testing to tel... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson All I can say is you must be filthy rich.My wife would kick me out of the house if I purchased a pair Wilson's. | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... I wasn't that impressed with my ADS towers. I thought the technology was dated because I purchased them in 1980. The dealer allowed me to trade them in for a DAC. Maybe I got dupped.I have a pair of Paradigm Prestige 85F towers and I didn't rea... | |
| More watts or better power ? I would think a larger size amp would be like buying a new car and opting for the model with greater HP. A larger size amp would work les hard and I wonder if this in turn would produce better sound. I have always thought the larger the amp the ... | |
| The Miller Carbon Story I would think the biggest improvement would be to upgrade the cartridge. Still don't know why people use vinyl. I always thought it to be noisier than a CD player and now streaming is convenient along huge libraries to choose from. The next tim... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I like the library Tidal offers using a streamer. They have a lot of hi res quality. I always thought 24 bit is better than 16 bit.It would cost a fortune to buy CD’s verses Tidal’s library. It is also nice to select artists and songs while rel... | |
| B&W speakers sounding very harsh? I met with a B&W dealer on Monday and they told me B&W tweeters are very bright, even brighter than the Martin Logan Motion 60 ribbon tweeters. Perhaps these are too bright for your ears. Ear fatigue is a real. I wish mine were brighter... | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. How long did you purchase?Perhaps it is not too late to cancel the order and contact your credit card company to stop payments? | |
| Sopra 2 Bass I wonder what a pair of REL S2's would do to your sound? I added a pair of these and it really made a difference. You have to dial them in so they don't stand out from your main speakers. If done correctly, they will act more like additional la... | |
| Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line With increased government spending comes inflation. It depends upon where the money comes from. I do think we need to update our infrastructure. They either will increase taxes or print more money. Either way we will all witness less net incom... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? You need to be careful to avoid high frequency fatigue. Fortunately I went back to listen for two hours to a pair of Martin Logan Motion 60’s with ribbon tweeters. To date I have not listened to a better pair of speakers than a pair of SALK Sing... | |
| Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth Why would you use a book shelf speaker for such a large room? | |
| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with Can you really here a difference! Even if you do a blind test. A dealer told me a Belcanto sounds better, but no one talks about Bellanto. If so what causes the sound difference? Is it clock speed. | |
| Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System Perhaps think about getting an ARCAM AVR 850 and adding a center channel speaker and two rear surround speakers. Whey you switch to two channel there is plenty of clean power as the first 50 watts are pure A. | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance Why not use the castors to move them into place then switch over to solid footing once you obtain desired sound stage? A dealer here strongly recommend master setting. I wonder how many in this group have set their speakers this way. |
