most accurate loudspeakers....
the problem with a subjective criterion like the illusion of a live concert is the wide range of assessments associated with a given stereo system.the pursuit of accuracy, the measurement of accuracy and the criteria for accuracy are all counter p... 
Class-D amps - a different re view
what is the reason this thread has generated so many responses ? 
Why so expensive??
hi pubul57:your hypothesis that audiophiles are looking for the best sound is an interesting statement.no one has stated what "best" sound is, and how to determine when and if "best" sound has been achieved.there is more than one conception of "be... 
Why is my Mcintosh MC-2155 slow?
as far as tempo, an amplifier cannot be slow. that is a speed issue. a cd player or turntable may have speed errors. how can an amlifier affect speed ?are you perhaps alluding to a frequency response phenomenon or a focus problem. if you are havin...

Quad ESL 57 are there better speakers out there??
quad 57 is the least timbrally inaccurate speaker in its range, period. i owned 4 of them for 7 years. if they didn't not arc, i would have them today.too many of the current production speaker systems, especially cone-based designs sound "false" ...

after playing the cello, the deficincies of stereo systems will become evident.

hi eldartford:an opinion is very subjective. i don't think that popularity or the satisfaction of other owners is a reason to buy something.as has been said many times, your ears are more important than any opinions.the only question is, how to mi... 
When will your system be enough?
hi cruz123:will you ever become satisfied with the sound of your stereo system ? if not why not ? what are your goals ? 
When will your system be enough?
when i achieve my sonic perspectives i will leave my stereo system alone.

the satisfaction of an owner of a component is not a predictor of the satisfaction of a potential owner of that product. 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
audiophiles are not defined by the equipment they own.there is large sample of brands from which to chose.there is no reason to disqualify the attribute "audiophile" from being applied to a person who owns mac gear. 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
the term audiophile is not correlated with any audio component. being an audiophile is not a basis for predicting someone's stereo system. therefore an audiophile can own anything and still be an audiophile.case closed. 
Audiophiles vs DIY-o-philes
i would conjecture that many hands-on hobbyists prefer that route because they believe they can achieve "better" sound by selecting the parts themselves, rather than relying upon the designer's choices. i don't think it's purely an effort to save ... 
Rogue Cronus too bright
i find the jolida cd player to be more like truth than beauty and the totem speakers to be highly resolving. i have auditioned the analysis plus interconnects and speaker cables. i don't find them warm either.as for tubes, i would use ge 5814 blac...
