| Moving up from a Node 2i I ended up buying a Bluesound Node 2i and the dealer talked me into buying a ProJect S2 DAC and connecting it with an Audioquest Carbon coax cable. In doing so you lose 9/10 of the MQA unfold. So I unhooked the DAC and played MQA recordings by s... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Why wouldn't you place your components on a stereo rack. My wife would kill me if I ever thought of making a room look like that. | |
| Selling on Audiogon I had a good experience. However, why would anyone sell something using PayPal? | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Nothing like the sound of snap, crackle and pop. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips I have a Bluesound Node 2i and purchased a ProJect S2 DAC and added it to my system and found I liked the Bluesound played better by itself. I stream Tidal and when I connected the DAC to my Bluesound using Audioquest Carbon digital coax, it does... | |
| LP made from a digital master recording... I don't know why so many still listen to vinyl. I am not in to hearing the noise of the needle tracking in the groove. I think CD's sound much better. They sound much crisper in my opinion. However, I now can't understand why anyone would both... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium That's a huge price range. That's like saying I am looking for a car between and Chevrolet and a Mercedes. Which one would be best.If you choose soft dome tweeter, they could destroy much easier than beryllium. Ribbon would also be as fragile.H... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? I would go with the SALK speakers. When you talk to Jim Salk tell him Larry Edwards from Denver sent you, His speakers are just incredible. You will love Jim. | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? I measured the distance from the back wall and side walls to measure exactly the same and then pointed the toe in to reach my listening position. This instantly changed things. I noticed my mid range and tweeters really settled down. | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? I went to Soundings in Denver and they demoed master setting speakers. The sound is very noticeable. What's nice is you don't have to sit in the sweet spot, which is nice when you have guests over to listen to music and cocktails. I moved my sp... | |
| Should I sell my DAC When I went to the dealer to hear a demo of the Bluesound Node 2i and really liked MQA. The dealer suggest adding a ProJect S2 DAC connected by Audioquest Carbon coax cable. When they did an A/B I chose the Bluesound played by itself. I for som... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic I think the purpose of putting together a sound systems is to create a sound stage so you can imagine the artist playing between the speakers. Being able to achieve this takes hours of listening to various speakers and amplifiers. It also depend... | |

| What Possessed Me to Do This? Because good stuff often weighs more. | |
| You just won a $5,000 audio gear only gift card For $1,000 more buy a pair of SALK Song3 Encore speakers. They sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers at the RMAF. I am not kidding. Jim Salk is the real deal. He sells direct and eliminates the dealer middle man markups. As a result,... |
