| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Mapman: thanks for the link. There was some stuff in there I hadn't run into before.For some reason, reading it raised an issue for me. At what point is a system/QS good enough? If tinkering is fun, I guess it doesn't matter.But are we all hamster... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I can see that I'm coming from a deficit position in terms of comparing and contrasting both systems and individual components. I became an audiophile when, 2 years ago, I listened to my brother-in-laws old KEFs with whatever he had driving them. ... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. The room is definitely the weakest part of the system, if you want to call it a part, but as I said earlier, I’m not sure much can be done about it. On the other hand, I haven’t even tried.I’m not sure what the next weakest thing is, which is one ... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Teo, I'm reading Taking the Leap by Pema Chodrin. Great stuff.I'm a terrible salesman. I can't even get myself to promote myself in my careers. Being helpful on a deeper level precludes self-interest. | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I'm more of a "I don't exist. Therefore I'm not."( Buddhist-style).It's great to hear a professional room-fixer's point of view.Thanks. | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I can see that one consensus is that the room and room treatment are vital. I haven't worked on this since I feel a bit hopeless that my very complex, difficult common area (where the speakers have to be) isn't salvageable. And I'm not actually un... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Thanks, all. I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about this. It's easy to find reviews of all the individual components of a system, and also which preamps, amps, and speakers match well, but I'm left making assumptions about the holism of ... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Mijostyn: I never heard of Alpha USB, or any other devices serving that purpose. I can't afford one, but I wonder if a cheaper iteration would make a difference as I'm streaming directly from a Mac to a DAC. I gather that the sound degrades coming... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Good stuff! | |
| Basic 12g copper speaker cables to $$$ cables. So here’s what I have. Maybe someone could offer specific low, mid, and high budget good matches. I know even less about interconnect cables, so I’m open to hearing about the difference they can make and what someone might recommend as well. I hav... | |
| Basic 12g copper speaker cables to $$$ cables. Thanks for the help. What I know about cables could fit into A thimble, at least as far as actual experience goes Like everyone else, I can read about them online. | |
| MF A5 vs Hegel h190 Thanks, Eric. It was kind of an afterthought when I saw something online about that. | |
| MF A5 vs Hegel h190 Perhaps neither is powerful enough? | |
| ATC SCM 40 v2 report Yes, it's like live music. Well said. | |
| ATC SCM 40 v2 report If I try to read or write or carry on a conversation while music is playing on the speakers, it’s hard to concentrate because the music keeps pulling my attention to it. I haven’t experienced this with other speakers. There is something compelling... |
