| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? @baclaggwhere do you live? at least give us a region.hard to recommend a place to use as a reference when we don’t know your area.and from my perspective it’s unlikely a hifi brick and mortar dealer has state of the art sound, compared to the top ... | |
| Higher End DACs Mike - how can local vs streamed files sound better? How can you sense ’edgyness’ from one vs the other if the bitstream is the same. The MSB Select II supports a bit-perfect test file. Play the test file from SGM Extreme or ’pick any server’ usin... | |

| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars in my experience the more that you spend on uber high end gear the more likely that you’ll be disappointed. it's not how much you spend, it's the things you learn and and the effort you put in.i built a perfect room in 2004 and had lots of pre... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Does Wilson employ the best designer? Do they have the best tools or best facility for developing a state of the art product? It seems really unlikely to me. then you say.... I don't have any special secret knowledge and I don't claim toso ... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars @daveyf when i’m tempted to post negatively, i mostly don’t hit ’send’. or delete it quickly if/when i do.and really, it works like a charm. i pick my battles very carefully, and it’s extremely rare they involve my hobby. if i’m rattled i go liste... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars ok @jon_5912you've told us what Wilson Audio is not, but not made any case how or why you know that. if Wilson is not the most qualified to produce the top speaker, i assume you must know who is? enlighten us please. who might have more capable as... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars @daveyf i have no problem with you, but you can certainly be a ’button pusher’ from time to time and push the envelope. and thus pay the price.@4425 that forum Davey refers to is What’s Best Forum. and while i disagree on Davey’s moderator site ra... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars @mikelavigne I value your posts and interactions on the various threads. I know of others who do. @david_ten thank you for the kind words. i'm hanging in here, sharing and learning about hifi viewpoints. sorting through the chaff to find the ... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Because of the noise, many knowledgeable and experienced AudiogoN members no longer participate in any discussions. This is to the detriment of new members who wish to learn more. Fortunately, there is a wealth of knowledge stored in the disc... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Mike: The Audiogon discussion forums have changed. Several members seem to think that their opinions are fact - in a very bloviating way. Their posts are as fatiguing a noisy tweeter. there is just so much noise here now as you mention, as well a... | |

| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars it’s tiring that every Wilson thread brings out class envy which has become so prevalent in our culture. not equally on every forum. it is particularly prevalent (and tiring) here. on some forums it's chill enough that Wilson Audio participates... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars interesting how every different hifi forum has a different take on the big Wilson's reflecting the particular forum culture and membership.no right or wrong to it, but the differences are dramatic. | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital i notice a few 9 year old posts from me in this thread. my digital is much, much better now, but what's crazy is so is my vinyl much, much better now. and better vinyl (even sometimes but not always digitally sourced) is still easily better than t... |
