| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? I think the answer would be for manufactures to set up a consignment store containing 10 speaker lines with low, middle and high end models so customers can listen to them. Along with that, add electronic manufactures to show case their amplifier... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more Have you looked at an ARCAM AVR550? I would a Blue Note to stream MQA. | |
| We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong I think one of the biggest problems when selecting speakers and electronic equipment is you are not able to listen to this gear in your home. You spend $ thousands, get it home and it sounds harsh or simply does not sound anything like what you h... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish Dep 14 I agree with you.I heard a pair of Salk Song3 Encore's at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest last October and thought they were one of the best speakers at the show. At a cost of $6,000/pair they crushed a pair of $60,000 speakers I listened to... | |
| The Science of Cables I have read some articles that said high end speaker cables are like smoke and mirrors. Wouldn't you get much better results by using the extra $5,000 on something like a better amplifier or better pair of speakers. If you were thinking about us... | |
| Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100? I was listening to a song in my car through my Harmon Kardon system and then streamed the same song using TIDAL. I could not believe how much this song sounded using TIDAL. You may as well buy a pair of $200,000 speakers and put some pillows in ... | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. I am new at this. I think the majority of audiophiles listen to the quality of the sound rather than to just the music. Why else do they continue to search for better and better equipment. Why else would someone sell their old equipment and upg... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? Knowing if something has been serviced would mean a lot to me. It would indicate there was something wrong with it. Too many if's for me. I would never ever buy used gear. I would also never buy a used car. I always wonder why are they sellin... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? I would go with REL. They are less detectable and they create a 3 dimensional sound stage. | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? Looks to me like the retailer you purchased this from must have known there was something wrong with it. Kind of like buying a car and then finding out it had been in an accident. If the dealers states his return policy in writing, you have lega... | |
| Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100? I can't believe anyone would listen to FM radio to begin with. Why would you do this? I thought everyone in this discussion group were true audiophiles. I am new to this. I hate FM music stations and I am now streaming TIDAL in my car. | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? Are you saying you doubled or trippled your bass by replacing your OPPO UDP-205 with a Bryston BCD-3 CD player? Is this even possible? If so, could you please explain the electronics behind this? | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? I receive daily updates from realtors to get a feel for what homes are selling for in my area. What amazes me is how the majority of people today live without music in their homes. I scroll through all of the pictures room by room and 98% or mor... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I have not heard anyone ever mention the name ARCAM in any of the discussions. I wonder why? Also wonder what people think of the Parsound Halo Integrated. I thought it sounded great for that price point and it sure can push a lot of current. ... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" These have got to be the ugliest speakers every built. Can you imagine putting these in a beautiful room in your house?I would probably put them in my walk in closet and keep the door closed. |
