| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player To Mahler123;Is there an additional port on my OPPO where I can connect a digital cable or is my HDMI cable good enough to use as a digital cable. Also, when I was getting started in this hobby, I wanted a system where I could listen to both 2 ch... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' You lost me. What do you mean by bridged. Why would you ever want mono. Wouldn’t you lose stero? Wouldn’t this be like listening to an AM radio. I still don’t understand why people would ever buy a $20,000 turn table because don’t you looses ... | |
| Digital Room Correction For Speakers I wonder why no one ever talks about master setting speakers. If you own a piano, I am sure you would want to tune it. | |
| How much do we at A'gon influence the industry? To Jeffkate:Please explain. Are you saying to look up any of the stereo gear at Wikipedia to see if they list it to be audiophile quality. I have never used Wikipedia so far so I must still live in the dark ages. Guess I showed my age. | |
| How much do we at A'gon influence the industry? One of the retailers in Denver cautioned me about Audiogon because he felt some of the information was not always accurate. I noticed some some people to mention Klipsh and Kef which I do not consider to be audiophile quality. Paradigm is also no... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? Please excuse me for breaking into this discussion. Hearing this discussion about your OPPO 205 reminded me of my situation. However, I do not know how to originate a discussion. I have an OPPO UPD 203 connected to an ARCAM AVR550 with a pair o... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! I wonder why I now have to log in to respond? Never had to do this before.Based on the discussion, I think you might want to wait and save up for some high quality audiophile speakers. I would definitely look at the SALK line. The Song3 Encore'... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? You have all lost me. Guess I need to get a sound engineering degree to understand. Wonder how you all learned this? | |
| The Science of Cables Can you honestly hear the difference? I would be curious to do a blind test on cables costing $250 to $10,000 and see if you can hear the difference. The question is how much better for every $100 spent. I would think you would be better off bu... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations I am surprised someone mentioned the B&W's. I listened to a pair of the 804's and still wondered where's the bass. I would definitely stay away from the Focal Arias. Even the 948 is weak in the bass extension. The SALK Song3 Encore's price... | |
| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash I think all speakers should be sold direct. The retailers who sell them usually carry one or two low end speakers for a line and you can't demo them anyway. This is called imagine how they sound by looking at a picture.Jim Salk with SALK audio t... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? I don’t think anyone intends to hurt anyone’s feeling. I actually appreciate point blank honesty. This in return allows me to trust the group more to insure a dealer is not using this forum to sell their gear. Some of these point blank statemen... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? I continue to be amazed by the knowledge of this group.i wonder why the group does not talk about master setting speakers. One of our local dealers demonstrated the art of master set. He demonstrated this in one of his listening room. When he m... | |
| Thinking about buying new speakers....the Elac Uni Fi5 towers or the Klipsch hersery lll Neither of these are audiophile quality. Save up your money and buy a pair of either Vienna Acoustic’s or SALK speakers. If you do, you won’t need to buy new ones later. | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? I would add a pair of REL T/9i's. I listened to the Focal Aria line and I kept asking myself where is the bass. I also asked myself if audiophiles do not like bass in general. Even their largest 948 aria speaker lacked in bass extension. Addin... |
