| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I usually change out the speakers. Most factory ones are cheap paper crap. Add some dynomat to the doors. Helps reduce road noise as well. Sometimes add a small sub. I like focal’s in a car. Running Infinity Kappas now. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality +1 on Qobuz. I listened to Tidal for about a year and I can absolutely tell a difference on both my systems. Actually I still have Tidal since I bought a year subscription. I have tried switching back and forth. Most Qobuz songs have more depth an... | |
| Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...? Their website is being revamped right now but you might check River Cables. Seem to be well built in the USA at a reasonable price. They also test each cable. I had bought a pair of the starflex biwire a few years ago. Put them in the closet while... | |
| High end Class D amps? I like the Classe class d amps. | |
| Negotiate good price Richmos I agree. That is a great way to guarantee not getting a sale and most likely loosing a potential future customer. I did sales for a while and was good at it. I always just tried to level with the customer and if someone offended me just re... | |
| Negotiate good price I could see it from different prospectives but to me the salesman dealt with it all wrong. Even if the guy came into the store intending to be a tire kicker a lot of good salesmen can turn that into a customer. Granted I wouldn’t have spent a lot ... | |
| Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC? To the OP. I two systems. I have the cxn v2 and the bluesound 2i. I have compared them both in both systems so I may be able to help. My only complaint on the cxn is it doesn’t play MQA. Of course the bluesound does. If I did it over again I would... | |
| Classe ca-d200 I still love it and don’t plan on making any changes. Well actually I liked it enough I went ahead and got the Classe pre amp too. I got the amp a few months used so can’t comment on any break in. The sound has been consistent. As far as your ques... | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) To the OP. I fully support what others have said about the Lexicon. If you can get a good LX-7 or GX-7 go for it. I think most of them will be older so keep that in mind. I got a used GX-7 and did something stupid and blew 2 channels. When I took ... | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects I am on day two with the audioquest black mamba ii interconnects. My initial impression is I don’t like them in my system. They seem to mute the midrange a bit which is what I probably like the most about these speakers. I ordered the Audioquest s... | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects That’s funny. I am upgrading from monoprice interconnects as well. For the power side I already have pangea power cords connected to a panamax power conditioner. | |
| Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio I am going to chime in. I have a separate thread where I was asking about the newer Classe class D. It has really impressed me so far. Does not sound like my previous experience with class d. Sounds like a very musical and accurate class a/b but w... | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects I went with 3 pairs of the Black Momba’s. Seems like a good buy. If anyone is interested I have the newer Classe class d amp on this system and have a post Classe ca-d200. I have not gotten many replies but it is actually a awsome amp so far. For ... | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects Thank you all for the feedback. I am leaning toward the Audioquest Black Mamba 2. | |
| Classe ca-d200 I will comment a little further for anyone who is curios. Before tonight I was just playing through my Cambridge music streamer. Decided to check it out from a new Marantz ref (their top level) cd player. Much better. In particular the mid bass fr... |
