| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? I’m surprised no one’s come up with “Disqualified” for the Dalqhuist DQ10. | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help My Chevy will kick your Ford or Chrysler to the curb! Oh wait. I switched to Toyota over 30 years ago and haven't look back. Buy what you like and what sounds good to you. Your good may not be my good. Quality and reliability count. Hard to liste... | |
| Aidiogon is Da Bomb! "nattering nabobs of negativism"; Credit Spiro Agnew for that. Those of us old enough to remember. | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? Lots of overthinking on this subject but usually, common sense goes a long way. When I purchased my KEF R3 speakers, I had a conversation with a KEF engineer about suitable amps and he pointed me to a blog on their website about power requirements... | |
| Thinking of Downsizing Good choice on the LS 50’s. I had originally planned to buy the R3 on their close-out sale but decided to step up to the R3 meta models. Tremendous speakers for the price. I think KEF is really on to something with their Meta material technologies. | |
| Re-Discover my Direct to Disks I have a bunch of D2D and obscure Japanese high resolution discs from the 70’s that I need to pull out and listen to on my new equipment. Won’t be back home till next week when I can dig through and see what I’ve got. | |
| Best Receiver? Despite naysayers on here, I’ve enjoyed several Yamaha receivers over the years, starting with a CR-2020 in 1978. I finally traded it off because it was beginning to show its age and the only repair shop near me shut its doors. I currently just r... | |
| What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using? Hearing loss is usually so gradual that by the time we perceive the loss, it is usually pretty significant. What people are perceiving as unnatural is probably what they were hearing when their hearing was good. My brother-in-law got some expensi... | |
| Why 432hz Tuning? Just as an addition, I have a friend who is blessed/cursed with perfect pitch. There are two types, relative and absolute. People with an absolute perfect pitch are very much disturbed when music is not aligned with their inbuilt standard. | |
| Why 432hz Tuning? There is no world standard for tuning. In the U.S, , 440hz A is the accepted standard. I recall buying a tuning fork for my guitar when I first started playing and it was a 440cps A (that's what it was called then). In Europe and in the "Way back"... | |
| Thinking of Downsizing $1k is a pretty low bar. Perhaps something in the more main line range like Klipsh RPM600/2 or JBL's? | |
| Going back to headphone ? Don't choose unless you have to. I enjoy both headphones and my stereo system. My equipment would be laughed out of this forum compared to what most posters have. The key for me was to set limits (financially) and enjoy the music. I am an amateur... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? While everything makes a difference, does that mean better? As pointed out by many here, science does suggest that Material quality and shielding makes for a better cable. It may cost hundreds of dollars to produce a cable with the properties desi... | |
| Sony TV sound +1. I have a 55" XBR (not OLED) with great picture quality, still sounds a lot better when I feed it through my stereo system. | |
| Turntable recommendation I get tremendous enjoyment out of my (now classic?) old Technics SL-1200 MK2 with an Ortofon Red cartridge. Many on this forum insist that anything less than a mega thousand TT (only belt drive accepted) equipped with a MC cartridge feeding into a... |
