| Looking for a headphone amplifier recommendation for Sennheiser HD 800 S headphones I just recently upgraded my system and sold my Quicksilver headphone amp - I think it is fantastic value for the money - super well-made and heavy, and sounds creamy-smooth with the right tube compliment and headphones like the Utopia... I do not ... | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. If Schubert don't like it, it's garbage, end of story. Better start throwing out my music collection.... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. I've had the 360 and the VTPH2a phono preamp for about 6 months now, and they are wonderful. Give it a few weeks to break in after you get it and the sound will continue to improve. I used to run an MSB DAC into my MSB S-200 amp and that sounded g... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. Actually, I remember the much bigger 'rivalry' was between the Beatles and the Monkees. Any DC 5 rivalry would have been over pretty quickly... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. I sure enjoy watching Steve's (and many other YouTube reviewers) videos a lot more than reading certain posts on Agon forums. I enjoy reading most posts, though. | |
| RME-ADI-2 owners, do you use all the features? I had that DAC for awhile in my headphone setup, just because I liked its stock sound better than the Hugo 2 I had been using; I didn't use any of those features, and I just sold it, in fact, as I replaced it with a DAVE + M Scaler, which I then r... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. I liked most of what I heard on our local AM radio station and wasn't really in with any cliques, except most of what I liked was British and/or psychedelic. Then went on to prog rock, metal, punk, post-punk, indie, reggae, and Grateful Dead, and ... | |
| If someone looked through you music (records, CDs, etc.) what would surprise them? That I've got the complete collection of all Grateful Dead live box sets, even though I'm mostly into heavy rock, punk, post-punk, indie, prog-rock, reggae, and even some hip-hop.... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? @arafiq + 1 on Fritz Heiler!! Hung out with Fritz at my place for about 3 hours when he brought by a pair of Carrera speakers for me a couple of months ago - great dude - Fritz rocks! | |
| How do you listen? Louder on headphones than on speakers as I wish to remain in my apartment! But I generally prefer 'really loud' at the venue itself rather than the sound reproduction.... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? @rudyb - Possibly because it's easier to be objective about video than audio. You can look at two images and tell if one is sharper than the other, and I can't think of a reason why anybody would want a less sharp one. With audio, it's all about i... | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? Yes it certainly does - I play a lot of metal on a very high-end system - just like any other genre.... good sound is good sound! | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? It's required for Dennis Foley, obviously - sure ain't required for ME! I don't go nuts with this kind of stuff.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I've got a Clearaudio Charisma TOTL MM cartridge for my 1200G and wouldn't trade it for an MC.... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Hi @mozartfan! Just wondering - If somebody thinks their vintage speakers sound fantastic, who are you to tell them otherwise? Why would you want to convince somebody to not like something they like? But your last sentence kind of nullifies what y... |
