| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? immatthewj That is a big unknown. Given your vision issues. if you need brightness, probably stick to LED sets because of their superior brightness as compared to OLED. the one upgrade that would greatly benefit you is Quantum dot and local dimmi... | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal "With the exception of Levinson, Martin and to a degree B&W it is all mid-fi brands." Pretty dismissive and elitist attitude. | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? It depends on how much tech/bells and whistles you want. Depending on your budget, spending extra does pay off in picture quality. Although they are clueless about higher end audio, Consumer Report does excellent testing and reporting on Tv's. Som... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass I find it hard to imagine any smaller speaker being able to fill your needs in a room that large without going to horns. Klipsch, JBL or that ilk. | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles I like meatloaf but most, especially restaurant fare, give me mild heartburn. And I'm not even prone to heartburn. My mother's meatloaf did not have that effect on me and although pretty mild, it was what I grew up on, so I liked it. the recipe wa... | |
| Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice Although it gets little respect here, Amazon Ultra HD unlimited is my choice for a source. Assuming it is available in your market. Especially good bargain if you are a current Amazon member. Huge catalogue of music. Apple has also moved to lossle... | |
| Corded, Warm-Sounding Noise Canceling Headphones for Office Is corded the only option? Even then, if you like the Sennheiser sound, the Momentum 4 series can be used Bluetooth or wired with a USB C connector at the phone. I find them "warm" but then I suffer from significant high frequency loss. You would... | |
| Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp) The upper end of the Technics line looks awfully nice (and substantial). Solid reputation and very good reviews. I don't have personal experience with the newer ones but the old 1200 series we very solid. | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? YMMV but I purchased a pair of ADS L810 series2 in 1978. Used them sparingly until about 6 or 7 years ago and passed them down to my little brother. He is still enjoying them today. They have survived many moves but still play like new. All origin... | |
| Experiences with Oppo Service? In your estimation. given the circumstances, is the OPPO that much better than units now available for the price you paid for repair? | |
| Iphone -> Audioquest Dragonfly Red -> Hifiman Ananda For anyone interested in the Ananda, Keep your eyes open for bargains. The HiFiMan stuff goes on sale regularly. I bought a pair of Anandas a few years ago for about 60% off retail, direct from them. They do sound great but seem a little shy on ba... | |
| Guidance My first thought also. Although my system is relatively lo-fi, My KEF R3 Metas sound glorious when assisted by a pair of HSU subs. Even when you don't subjectively hear them, the music sounds fuller and more complete. When there is significant bas... | |
| Yamaha M80 Amp geoffreyggriffin I sent you a PM. | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers Too much power shouldn't be a problem, That is what volume controls are for. The old saying is very true. You will far more easily destroy a speaker with too little power than one with too much. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Several years ago, at the Sheldon in St. Louis. The featured act was the Milk Carton Kids. The opening act was Molly Tuttle with, I believe, "She's with Her" as her band. IMHO, they blew the Milk Cartons into the weeds. |
