| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? Can’t see what anyone sees in B&e’s. As a say Where’s the Bass.think SALK In incredibly underrated. For $6,000, the Song3 Encores best anything in the $20,000 range maybe $30,000 range. | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Paradigm Prestige 85F towers. They retail for $4,000 and you can buy them from Scott at The Sound Shop in Colorado Springs. Great guy and really honest. | |
| Salk Audio Sound My dream is to be able to buy a pair of SALK Song3 Encores. They are incredible. They sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers I heard at RMAF.Jim SALK is also incredibly nice and extremely knowledgeable. | |
| I need help to select a music streamer I have done a fair amount of reading and I have watched some videos and it seems like a music streamer is merely a device by which data enters the device and is sent to a DAC to convert this data into music impulses. The way I understand things i... | |
| PS Audio Revises Marketing to a Direct Sales Only Model I think he is going to regret going direct. If it fails, he needs to be prepared for dealers not willing to take him back if his business model fails.This hobby is enjoyed by the very few and I doubt beginners will know enough to find PS Audio du... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Is there really much of a difference in sound quality between different music streamers? A Bluesound costs $499, a Bel Canto eOne costs $1,600 and PS Audio $6,000. Does it all have to do with the quality of their processors? So far, I think Roo... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Does the Bluesound have the capability to play MQA? Would the Bluesound sound better or as good as the Bel Canto if I added expensive digital coax cable like Chocolate Audioquest? This would cost $1,000 less than the Bel Canto. | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Geoff,You sound extremely knowledgeable and you certainly bring up a good point. I am a beginner in the hobby and I have dug deep over the past three years to learn as much as I can. There are people in this group that are so impressive and they... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Good point Cleeds. There is a huge difference between the public who is satisfied playing music through small wimpy speakers and Audiophiles who want to hear a recording with greater detail and the way it was designed to listen to. | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Shofar,Thanks!You did not say where you stand on this. | |
| I need help to select a music streamer I Googled 16 bit vs 24 bit vs MQA today and viewed 3 technical videos and read three articles. They said 24 bit produces less noise. However, they all said in a blind listening test, no one would detect the difference. I thought I heard a bigge... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Phil, The Cambridge is rated high, but it cannot decode MQA, | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Phil,i will I’ll be hard wiring using CAT6. I also stream tidal. I want to be able to stream 24 bit and MQA. I have an ARCAM AVR 550. Wonder how good the DAC is? | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane I have a difficult time believing you can hear a difference buying an expensive power cord. Think this is similar to the story, "The Emperors New Cloths". If you spend more you convince yourself it sounds better. However, how much better? Coul... | |
| Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him! This problem does not appear to be caused by the buyer. More care should have been taken to prepare the boxes for shipment. However, how could an unsealed inner box cause this problem when they were double boxed and the outer box was in tact. N... |
