| Back to the drawing board I am surprised no one mentions the ARCAM AVR850. I love the G technology. It plays the first 50 watts in pure A. We switched between this and the MacIntosh and the ARCAM was far superior. A lot more detail. What is nice it provides the best o... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable I have a difficult time believing you can hear a significant difference between a $500 turntable and turntables costing $10,000 to #20,000. All turn tables do is turn a vinyl disk at a constant speed. As long as their is no feedback they should ... | |
| How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer I think you have learned a valuable lesson. You should always deal with a local dealer. The extra price is worth it. | |
| Need speaker suggestion for a larger room! Without question, the SALK Song3 Encore's are the best speakers I have heard in your price range. I went to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver back in October and thought these speakers sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers I listen... | |
| Going to try digital I am very happy with TIDAL. I would suggest streaming with a Blue Sound so you can stream 24 Bit Hi-Res as well as MQA. You can stream 16 bit if you hard wire your modem using Cad 6 to an Apple TV and then hard wire Cad 6 to the back of your amp... | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? I agree with highway 61. There has got to have been issues with your amp for years if you have had to replace so many fuses. This would have indicated problems after the second one went out. There has got to be a short somewhere that has caused... | |
| Speaker suggestions I can't imagine how you will be able to buy an audiophile speaker for $3,000. I would encourage you to buy the SALK Song3 Encores at $6,000 a pair. Jim Salk also makes a smaller speaker priced at $4,500. Since he sells direct, he uses the best ... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns I am a novice entering the audiophile world. This said, I don't know how upgrading and spending so much money on speaker cables can make that much of a difference in sound. I wonder if someone could explain this to me, as I have read several art... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers Since it takes more power to drive bass drivers, I wonder why all speakers are not built with a built in amplifier. If that were the case wouldn't you just need to deliver a pure signal and allow the on board amplifiers to generate the sound? Wo... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I wonder why Magico A3 speakers us a soft tweeter as opposed to using a beryllium tweeter. Vienna Acoustics also does the same, | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable I don't understand the attraction of vinyl. Compared to digital, you only hear a fraction of the detail. I also can't believe you can hear any difference between a $500 turn table verses a $20,000 turn table. I thought the difference is in the ... | |
| Back to the drawing board I feel most people do not understand REL's technology. I listened to a pair of Vienna Acoustic Mozart's at Soundings paired with one REL S3. When he unplugged the S3, I was unable to hear much of a difference. Then he asked me what did I notice... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Try a master set. This will help everything. Also, add a pair REL’s. | |
| Why so many used focals? That’s because they are horrible speakers.Their company moto should be, “where’s the gas’s.” | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I meant to tell you to ditch the Marantz. Need to explore ARCAM or Parsound Halo. |
