| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system I view wires as tweaks. A relatively inexpensive and easy way to fine tune the sound when needed. As such, its hard to say one works better than another in any particular case with various gear, even if overall, some may be "better" than others.Wi... | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? The ones that make A/V gear.That and Apple and then bose.Then whatever else they sell at Best Buy these days.All the rest don't even register. | |
| How would you feel If I had one already, I would be bothered. If I was looking to buy, I'd be happy.Just one of those things.... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Would like to hear more impressions from those who own or have heard more of these newer Class D amps.The huge price range for amps built around the same common core modules is an interesting thing in of itself. | |
| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system I use audioquest and MIT. Also DNM. Each has their unique traits to recommend them. Like most audio stuff.Its kinda silly to suggest any of these is inherently superior to the others. | |
| Well, worst of is really what this is about I've had minor aesthetic issues with some used stuff bought relative to pics on ebay, and a piece or two that needed a thorough cleaning inside and out, but really nothing ever truly bad. Most cases when things don't work out as well as I hoped, t... | |
| Recapturing the JBL L100 Century Yes, some of the newer JBL horn designs have caught my eye, but have not heard. | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? I use the Klipsch s4 buds with my Squeezebox radio in the bedroom. Buds are an acquired taste, and fit and comfort can be tricky, but these sound pretty darn good when properly fitted. Also very good at the pool with Pandora and internet radio on ... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Mel Collins has played sax on many of my favorite rock recordings over the years. | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? My experience in general is similar to Jmcgrogan2's. My longest listening sessions tend to be with my speakers that sound fuller. I am able to enjoy the music more for longer periods of time.Listening to/for "resolution" is harder work mentally an... | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? no fat bloated fullness for me.My term for it is "meat on the bones".But its not fat or bloated and does not obscure the mids. | |
| Recapturing the JBL L100 Century I think Miller Sound is the other source out there that I hear can do a good job, but not sure about availability or willingness these days as i recall. Easy to find out, I'm sure. | |
| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 One thing I might point out is the room is small so that probably enables most any speaker to put its best foot forward.For comparison, I have compared and contrasted my Dynaudio Contour 3 mkII speakers with my Triangle Titus XS in various room in... | |
| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system I have audioquest cv6 wires with dbs devices. They work well and I like them but not sure I hear any difference with dbs devices. Can't hurt though. | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Good point! It helps to be able to carve out the time. A constant rushed lifestyle is probably not conducive to the traditional audiophile thing. Maybe the trend towards more rushed lifestyles these days in general is one of the biggest barriers t... |
