| Full circle and thinking about speakers I just Googled your speakers and they look like a bookshelf speaker built in a tower cabinet. Does the added space below the speakers serve to enhance the sound or are they designed to just look like tower speakers. I have not seen these before.... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? Right now, I don't know why anyone would get off their chair to load a CD in the player? Especially when Tidal streams hi-res up to 24/196. I find it very convenient to sit down and select artists and albums with the touch of a finger. When I p... | |
| Sota or Technics I would recommend upgrading your speakers to SALK Song3 Encore towers. However, they are $6,000 and well worth the cost difference. I met Jim Salk at the RMAF two years and I thought these sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the ... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming There must be something about vinyl and I missed it. I had a Technique turntable back in the 70's and purchased a $300 cartridge. When I started buying $30 master recorded vinyl, I could really hear the difference. However, getting off the sofa... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. I can't understand why audiophiles spend so much money on a turn table, cartridge and vinyl? I hear often a lot of noise with the needle is tracking on a record. Andy, you have to get up, wash the record you want to listen to and spend all that ... | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al I can't agree more with you. I purchased a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers and I still don't know if I have them set up right. They should have a DVD or online video walking you through the steps. Great subwoofers though. | |
| For those that use an external DAC with node 2i When I purchased my BlueSound Node 2i, the dealer convinced me to add a ProJect S2 DAC. I connected the BlueSound and thought the sound was great. For some reason I think I can hear a difference when listening to MQA. I then plugged in the ProJ... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I almost purchase a pair of Martin Login Motion 60's. Fortunately, I went back to the retailer and listened to them for two hours. Glad I did because I found their ribbon tweeters to be to bright. Ear fatigue is a reality and it is really impor... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I am sure the cheap ProJect S2 DAC I added to my Bluesound Node 2i might have been the problem. I have heard the Cuttest is much better. What would I hear with a more expensive DAC that would sound better than the Bluesound played by itself? I ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I would imagine there must be a phase adjustment on my REL's. However, I would not know where to start. It would be nice if someone could teach us more about phase and how to set up subwoofers. Now I wonder if I have mine set up correctly. All... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I am simply blown away by Millercarbon's knowledge. He should be teaching at a university. Fascinating conversation. Can't believe people have more than two subwoofers. I did a lot of research before I purchased my subwoofers. I was torn betw... | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps I meant to add customer support from ARCAM is absolutely horrible. The customer service person after a couple of questions told me to not contact him again. He was the rudest person I have ever talked to. Wonder if anyone else experienced the s... | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps I purchase an ARCAM AVR550 only because I wanted to use it for both Home Theater and 2 channel listening. Their AVR850 model sounds extremely good because they have a new G technology that is able to play the first 50 watts in Pure A. Wonder wha... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I forgot to mention. I did a blind test at the dealer with and without the DAC and I picked the Bluesound every time without the DAC. I should have gone with what I heard and not purchased the DAC. Maybe it was the cheap DAC I purchased. Anoth... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I purchase a Bluesound Node 2i and the dealer talked me into buying a Project S2 DAC. When I got it home, I thought it sounded much better when playing the Bluesound alone. I don't care what people say, but I think MQA sounds great and if you ad... |
