| Best Computer Speakers Check out an interesting group buying web site called "Massdrop". They seem to cater to techies and computer sound systems. They even have video reviews of the various near field speakers they have worked with "sold". | |
| Advice on upgrade Aside from the usual non answers there appears to be some consensus that you may want to start a serious assault on the summit of a well integrated synergistic system by looking at changing your speakers. It is an old axiom that the speaker accoun... | |
| What could have gone wrong? Check your preamp esp. the tubes. The first thing I thought of was a tube/s starting to fail, as I often credit them for throwing the 3D stage that much tube gear tends to exhibit. The preamp is central to everything so... | |
| What Preamps for Krell KSA 80 Are you a fan of Audio Research pre amps? How much are you willing to invest in the pre? Are there any other preferences? What are the other elements of your anticipated system?I would seek out a much more "tubiefied" sound from the pre personally. | |
| Audio Physic Virgo 25 vs Avantera I say go with what you like. If treble emphasis/energy that is the hallmark of Audio Physic is what you like then why should there be any question at all. I wish all issues were so cleanly defined and solved. As AKG said an arbitrary "sales" price... | |
| Advice on upgrade Not sure how you wired your speakers but your source = Rotel CD and whether you like the way your speakers sound look like areas that might be changed. | |

| McIntosh vs. Accuphase How did this turn into an automobile thread ? I am sorry that I can't offer any advise about the specific models you mention. I stress and heavily implore you-you must find a way to audition these amps. They are very heavy so shipping is an issue,... | |
| Personal speaker evolution I agree with the underwear approach but keep a lot of what I like. I guess I should dump some of my gear post divorce. I am using bookshelf Hyperion 585s which are only a stop gap, due to living in am an apt. I listen to my Sennheiser HD 700s more... | |
| AV Rant Oh I didn't read that one right sorry. | |
| How to make a 20th C Nakamichi rig sing... ? Two is enough for giving sound depth and field. I am also a 2 channel guy. If you really want 3D out of 2 channels then use tube power amps. | |
| AV Rant What is the rant ? That you want good audio but don't want to spend a lot on it? There are multiple ways to approach that problem. But you do have to be a bit more specific about what you want,have and are willing to spend. | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I do agree with one sentiment it is overpriced. How did this get started again 7-8 years later? | |
| What is the best type of preamp for a class D amp? Lots of reviews of the amp see what they liked. What you like may be quite different but I like tube pre amps with all power amps. In this situation it would seem almost a prerequisite. | |
