| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Looks like a classic internet troll post to me. Drives up, dumps off a load of fertilizer, drives off and disappears from the discussion, then watches from afar as people stomp around in the stink. ;-) | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company You need to remember that "lifetime guarantees" are only good if the company is still in business -- it involves their "lifetime" as much as yours. And, sometimes a company finds they have so many issues on their hands that they intentionally go o... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I, too, had a set of Ohm Fs that I purchased in 1975 or so. I've never heard anything since that came close to throwing a magical, ethereal, 3-D sonic image that just floated in space. I regretted selling them almost immediately. That said, I real... | |
| Higher sample rate than 16 bit redbook @fuzztone - what do you mean, what, where? | |
| Higher sample rate than 16 bit redbook If you are willing to stream your music, Qobuz has some 24/44.1KHz music as well as some 24/96K and 24/192K material. What's available all depends on what the record company releases.However, as noted, anything released as Redbook CD will be 16/44... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I had a set of Maggie 1.6qrs that I really enjoyed, but they do take up a lot of room and have to be out from the walls. This really complicates their use in a smaller or multi-purpose room. When I moved a number of years ago, I had to sell those.... | |
| Impressions: $1k-$2k integrated amps I've had the Bel Canto C5i in my system for a couple of years now. I've been very pleased with it. Very clean sound, but not harsh, and much more powerful sounding than it's 60 watts/ch at 8 ohms would suggest. (It has a very good power supply -- ... | |
| Replacing everything - Speaker Recommendation Request - Under $3,000. With music.... I've had a set of Ohm 1000s for a couple of years now. I really enjoy them. | |
| Why does a Music Server require high processing CPU power? In thinking about it, the choice of the underlying PC for a branded music server probably has more to do with marketing than anything else. If you have a maker of audiophile equipment that is going to get a couple of grand for the product, you mig... | |
| What integrated would you recommend for summer amp? I’ve been very pleased with my Bel Canto C5i. It’s class D so puts out very little heat. They list new for $2K but I bought mine as a dealer demo for $1,200 a few years back. They should be less than that if you find one used. BTW, it was a replac... | |
| Why does a Music Server require high processing CPU power? I've never had a problem with using lower power computers as music servers. The only reason I know that you might want a more powerful computer is if you are doing room correction or equalization, or if you are actually editing digital music files... | |
| Is it possible to transfer analog tone and soundstage of vintage reel to reel to digital. I had a number of direct open reel copies of studio masters as well as some open reels I personally taped of live performances. I transferred all of those to digital some years back and was very pleased with the results -- I couldn't tell the diff... | |
| Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer? As others have noted, loudness controls (and tone controls) are out of fashion.So, remember - loudness / tone controls = badAll other manner of changing the audio quality of your system -- speaker wires, cables, etc. = good. | |
| Recommendations for floor standers that sound good at low levels too I have a pair of Ohm 1000s that I really like, that are right at the $2K mark for a new pair. Small footprint for a floor stander. I find them excellent at lower volumes as well as when I play them louder (though I should note that roughly 85 dB o... | |
