| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? I would very much like to understand the cited Helmholtz method as it applies to pro or even just home audio in order to be able to assess it and maybe even attempt it if viable but google search turns up nothing. So how does one practically appl... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. @jl1ny What you or I or anyone might find offensive has nothing to do with what others do. How about we all just treat each other civilly? That’s part of being "civilized" as opposed to the alternative. civil [ˈsiv(ə)l] ADJECTIVE rela... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. Chi-fi is used as a derogatory term and should not be part of civil discourse. It is insulting to anyone of Chinese heritage, which includes mostly good and many very talented people. It’s that simple. Do not use this word unless that is your inte... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. International trade is pretty much the ONLY thing that can bring various countries around the world together. Everyone should support that! | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. Yes personally I prefer to buy US but have no qualms about buying any product from anywhere if it makes sense to do it, often for value reasons. Check out my system(s). My hifi stuff is mostly from US companies. I’m sure parts and other elements ... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. Political correctness and civil behavior towards others are two different things. Hopefully people do not use political correctness as an excuse to not be civil. | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. I wouldn't worry about it specifically. Global trade is the only thing that helps keep this world together. Better to get with the times and ride the wave rather than build more barriers. If you don't like China or any other country for whatev... | |
| Heard it live….and now at home It was a nice surprise to learn the concert was going to be released on CD. The sound at the concert was really good and the recording is very good as well. The Anthem is a fairly new venue and Very nice in all regards. Highly recommended! | |
| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck Ohm F5 with built in subs would do it and you could go DBA with current subs or sell to help finance. | |
| Musings of a Budget Audiophile That’s a nice setup. Nothing budget about it. Ever try a straight DAC, no tube buffer? Might be interesting to compare especially in that you are already running a tube amp. | |
| Primaluna? Just go Rogue and you will realize the promise of true high end sound value from a US company. No BS. Or go straight for Audio Research if budget allows. VAC is also cream of the crop it seems but won’t come cheap. Oh and do not forget good old At... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption I hear things are much better in La La land. Fussing about capitalism on a high end luxury web site is an interesting scenario. | |
| Considering equipment upgrade. Any advice? I’d strongly consider the Cambridge offering for that price. | |
| Are you surprised Audio Technica does not market a high end table? Audio Technica is a go to for functional and practical, not “high end”. Always a reliable go to brand. Been that way for many years. | |
| Raven Audio and Beyond... @mijale If it were me I would do the homework up front to identify what you envision your end system to be and then move towards that. You have prettty good speakers to work with and a lesser amp it seems. Any amp upgrade should be a step in the... |
