| A step to the side- Smart TV question Just replaced an old 50” pioneer plasma that finally died with a midrange 65” Samsung LED STV. I went with Samsung LED over Sony and OLED mainly for the Samsungs unique glare resistant screen combined with overall brightness capability in a bright... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 compared to Rogue Atlas Magnum III Absolutely they will sound different largely due to output impedance difference as per @asctim and the difference in distortion. The only way to know which you prefer is to listen and compare. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Time to move on. | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 Hmmm…Sabrina, Jill or Kelly. All beautiful, all capable, but each different. Which to choose? Consider the entire package in each case and the correct choice will become more apparent. | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? I’m sure it will all work out sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. | |

| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade An 8 page Six Moons review? Nice. Let me pop a few Advil up front so I can be properly medicated in order to be able to make it through and soak it all in and I'll see you all on the other side. :^) | |

| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? The thing about rooms is yes they are what they are acoustically and tunings can be done to tweak that to various extents, but the decisions one makes regarding what to put into that room and how to achieve the best results possible need to be ver... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? I’d say in general if someone posts and asks for opinions, anybody can offer their’s …..no rules attached. Then it’s up to the reader to figure out which ones matter to them and why. | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? @calvinj I think we are on the same page. If someone asks my opinion I’ll give it but I am not one to pass final judgement on things I know little about or have no direct experience with. | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? @calvinj you asked a question and I think I provided a valid answer. Don’t shoot the messenger. There are many nice headphones out there that are arguably not a very good value especially when it’s been demonstrated applying a proper no cost conv... |
