| Listening to what we Like Instead of what we have to It’s the audiophile’s dilemma. You’re not alone. Most of the music I’m most emotionally invested in sounds terrible. So I’ve developed an appreciation for well recorded jazz/blues. It sucks but it’s hard to listen to bad recordings now and 90% of ... | |
| Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up? It’s hard to understand how any component requires more than 30 minutes to an hour to reach operating temps. My h390 seems fine pretty quickly. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Perlisten is worth a listen also. The S5M might go well in your room. | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs I’m not saying don’t get nicer cables. But, unless your current cables are really bad, too thin, aren’t making a good connection or damaged, don’t expect significant improvements let alone “vast”. Any differences a cable can make, again, assuming ... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? It seems to me that a power cord can only benefit an amplifier in 2 ways. It can be thick enough gauge to properly transfer your AC power to the amp. And it can be shielded so other sensitive cables near or touching it aren’t being interfered with... | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison No, not lamp cord but they ARE typically using Belden, Canare, Or Mogami, all practically free compared to esoteric cables. I’ve tried and own cables from $150 to $3500, . Many. And I listen to a lot of extremely well recorded minimally proces... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? We agree. I’m just making the general point that while you can’t really get a true giant killer system for relatively little money like 5k, you can for a bit more and there’s not much need to spend 100k when you can get so close for 1/4 the cost. ... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I think it’s impossible to get 100k, very high end system sound with 5k. But you can get maybe 75-85% of the way there. That last 15% will cost you exponentially more as you near 100%. I do think however, that you can get 98% of 100k system s... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I think probably you can get very good, if not top notch sound from a good pair of powered speakers, streaming from your favorite service. | |
| Borresen X1 & X2 While I do think that (unlike cables) speakers do change slightly after a certain amount of use, I really believe it’s well under 100 hours and probably closer to 10 or 20. And the differences will be subtle. If you’re waiting for them to dramatic... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? It seems to me, since most of the issues higher end cables claim to address are ostensibly minimized and handled better by the design, tech, build quality etc. of more expensive, higher end equipment, cables will affect higher end systems less tha... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? Well made tight fitting BFA bananas are the way to go for me. They make very good contact, don’t come loose like spades can, and are just easier. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions I think when speakers reach a certain level of quality/price, you can’t really say one is “better”. What one listener might see as a negative, another might feel it’s a positive. At a certain level the quality of sound becomes very personal and su... | |
