| Aging ears and Nuances @signaforce Have your audiologist create a specific music program This is good advice. Check that your provider knows how to optimize a program for recorded music program and can tweak it as needed, for example after your brain gets used to t... | |
| Aging ears and Nuances @larsman The ones they sell at Costco are the top-of-the-range models from the previous year, and are about $1500/pair. Maybe, but they sell a limited selection of Rx brands, none of which are considered state of the art. Not saying they wont... | |
| Aging ears and Nuances This is a good question. I have hearing loss from being too close to a bank of JBLs at a rave 30+ years ago, and tinnitus. I’m 61. Standard hearing tests go to 8kHz - so how are you and @billstevenson getting tested to 13.5K? (tagging jourdoktorn... | |
| Electrical question and varying amounts of capacitance...the dynamics of music don't have a linear draw on the power supply either | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? IF THAT IS TRUE,the WHY do reviewers & MANY MANY repliers on this board,when quantifying a system or components sound,continue to specify,it sounds great "FOR IT’s PRICE" or "Competes with products well above it’s price point" or "punches we... | |
| Walk-in soundstage top line MBL (but not the extreme) with $500K of electronics in an untreated room sounded immersive- like the listening position didn’t matter anymore. i can’t even imagine what that system would sound like in a fully treated room. | |

THOUGHTS? @mulveling I think many of us (including myself) have/had a strong bias to assume more expensive cabling should sound better is some way - but that’s a very weak correlation, if at all. 100%. One example of this is companies that sell direct ... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio @cbrez It’s one thing to think about a particular luxury industry in isolation, but I do think it is important to look at some in parallel as well. Watches, fashion, automobiles, etc. Each is distinctive, but are there are any similarities over... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XDs 40.3 owner here - your thoughts as a new owner? | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... I’ve bought from TMR and traded 2 amps I was having a hard time selling for my current amp that was on my shortlist of 3 end game integrated’s. Both transactions were perfect. | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... Your used gear is worth 30% of retail. and your point is? | |
| Room treatment @ghdprentice The best thing you could do is to create a virtual system and post photos of your system and space. This. Way easier than writing an essay and then answering a dozen questions to describe your system/room. One and done. I don'... | |
| Has anyone heard the Bluesound Node Icon streamer DAC? @ghdprentice you must invest at least 2x the cost... In some cases, maybe. In my case turntables, cartridges, 3x or more was my last upgrade to get a transformative improvement. Significantly better engineering and materials cost a lot more a... | |
