| What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1? I have an ARCAM AVR550 connected to a pair of Paradigm Prestige 85F towers. Where should I spend my money to take my sound levels to the next level? Add a 5 channel Parasound amplifier that can output 180 watts per channel with 67 amps or buy mo... | |
| Well maybe it IS my hearing Really a good point.I recently had an appointment with an audiologist and they compared my hearing levels to 5 years ago. It looks like I lost some additional hearing in my high frequency levels, which is quite normal for a 70 year old.I wonder i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Michael Wollney - Little Women (incredible). He is from Berlin. Wait for the best bass extension you have ever heard. Great demo song. | |
| Better sound with ethernet cable? My system is located about 50 feet from my router. I tried streaming Tidal wirelessly and had problems with the signal cutting off and I had a lot of studering. Once I hardwired using CAD6 the problems disappeared. Video problems also went away... | |
| Magnepan's new LRS? There are a lot of useless dealers who carry usually their lower line speakers thinking no one will spring for more money and buy better one. This is why manufactures need to work out a consignment program. Perhaps delay bill them for 6 months. ... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? I heard a REL S3 subwoofer demoed with a pair of Vienna Acoustic Mozart tower speakers and had a difficult time hear the difference when they plugged in the REL and unplugged it. I thought I had good ears for music. I wonder why I wasn't able to... | |
| Beginner choosing amp help I liked the Parasound Halo A21 Amp and P5 Pre-Amp as well. However, I thought their integrated sounded great too. I couldn't hear much difference between the integrated and the separates. I wish I could have afforded both a surround receiver an... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player Someone just replied and said he thought the sound of TIDAL was better than a CD. Glad I am not the only one who feels TIDAL quality is better. I hard wired my router to my Apple TV and perhaps that makes a difference. The same person told me p... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I just read a review on the Legacy Focus speakers. They must be incredible. I wonder how they sound compared to Jim Salk's Song3 Encore towers priced at $6,000. To date I have not heard better. I couldn't believe how they sounded compared to a... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons I like listened to speakers such as the Martin Logan Motion 60 towers and the Dali towers and I thought ribbon tweeters sounded bright but too bright. A friend warned me about ear fatigue and I am glad I listened to him. This said, I wonder what... | |
| I need bass I am surprised no one promotes the idea of master setting speakers. This can make a big difference. After doing this, I would add a pair of REL T/9i subwoofers and play them in stereo to create a bigger sound stage. I was told two are much bett... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I personally would be scared to purchase used speakers. How does a novice even know they are in perfect condition? Why is the party selling them getting rid of them? That would indicate they were not satisfied with the sound quality.I wonder if... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player Thanks for confirming my thought on speaker wire and interconnects. I purchased a pair of Tara Labs for $240 and find them to be sufficient. However, I have not heard the difference by comparing these to more expensive speaker wire.Didn't realiz... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I didn't realize a DAC can make such a SIGNIFICANT improvement in sound quality. Can you really hear this difference with a blind test?I have a difficult time believing you can hear a significant difference in speaker cable and interconnects. I ... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I have hard wired my motem using CAD6 cable to my Apple TV and hard wired using CAD6 cable from the Apple TV to my ARCAM. Wouldn’t that be equal to a 16 bit CD recording. So if that is the case wouldn’t that still sound the same as if I were pla... |
