| Rickie Lee Jones - Naked Songs I have owned this one almost since it came out and believe it to be one of her best offerings. I don't play it often but never tire of hearing it. | |
| ALON V Mk II what did you replace them with? I learned it is important to select speakers that work well in reproducing the types of music you mostly listen to, and then finding an appropriate amplifier to drive them. Reviews and opinions of others only go so far - only you can decide on th... | |
| ALON V Mk II what did you replace them with? Purchased them based on their good reviews (a dumb reason to purchase anything).Owned them for several years and upgraded them based on advice from Carl, with Alnico drivers and better external crossovers but never achieved the sound I wanted.Prob... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? The EVPs by A/V RoomService Ltd. seem to have a strong following by those seeking a decoupling alternative. The primary isolation appears to come from an "air spring" resulting from Owens Corning 703 or 705 one-inch thick rigid fiberglass board, ... | |
| I need help with an amp decision Steve can add balanced inputs to the DNA125 as part of an upgrade package. | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? Oh boy.....another cable thread!63 responses in, and the only clarity is that once again there is no clarity.....shocker!Listen to your system, buy some cables if you want, or buy a bicycle.Either way, don't forget to enjoy the music, and stay saf... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE @mozartfan Point is,Why get stuck on a *house sound*Answered in my post.....Point is, if you like something, why switchMaybe the transition from audiophile to music lover involves overcoming the obsession with changing equipment. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE As implied by @mapman, for long term enjoyment, I believe it is most important to find a speaker, a type of speaker, or a manufacturer's "house" sound that is "musical" to you and with which you are comfortable. When I first started down the road... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... I am currently using a Triode Wire Labs Split Power & Data USB Cable that I found to match my tastes better than what I was getting from either the Curious or the Totaldac USB cables. It seems to provide a good balance of tone, body, detail, a... | |
| Balanced Passive Pre Amp I own both the Khozmo and Goldpoint units discussed previously here and IMO, the Takeman REY metal film and Vishay Z-foil resistors used in my Khozmo passive sound better than the slightly dryer sounding SMD resistors used in the Goldpoint unit. B... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon When SMc Audio (Steve McCormack) rebuilds former McCormack amplifiers he is no longer bound by mass market conventions. Therefore, my Class AB, Ultra-G DNA-1 monoblocks do not have an on/off switch. Steve recommends leaving them on for best soun... | |
| How many of us are truly diversified Regardless of the wording of the question, I interpreted that you are curious whether those of us owning multiple set-ups enjoy one over the other and whether that may have anything to do with the class of amplifier, value of the system, or any ot... | |
| No recommending Solid Tech Audio Racks He said, "No recommending" - he doesn't like themThey look techy-tweaky so not surprising.Hard to beat Sound Anchor for performance at a reasonable price.Not high tech but simply as solid as it gets.I have dressed mine up a bit with wood shelves (... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? Like others here, I too have gone to an all digital source. Mojo server through which I mostly stream Tidal via Roon, but I also like the ability of having my CDs on a SS hard drive in the server so I can access music that is not included in Tida... | |
| Best sub isolation? Good call on the Nobsound springs, definitely easier to implement and more versatile.Setting up individual springs may take a bit of trial and error. |
