| Is imaging reality? No, nothing that is recorded and reproduced is the same as the real thing. This is even more true, in my opinion, with rock and pop where the result or what you hear is purposefully manipulated in a studio.But for me that makes no difference whats... | |
| Upgrading Speaker Cables: Wireworld Silver Eclipse or Transparent Audio Ultra? I've got a pair of Transparent Gen5 Super speaker cables. 10'. I know the Ultras are a step up from the Supers but the price I'm offering might make it worth it for you. Will list here at A'gon if interested. | |
| What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? Thanks, that helps. So I'm going to give this a try at some point. Bound to be better than 1st gen Apple TV! | |
| What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? Thanks guys. Good info. I will watch the videos about streaming.I have an ’external’ DAC in the form of an Oppo blu-ray player that I use as a CD player. It has optical-in that plays directly through its DAC as if it were a stand-alone DAC.So if I... | |
| Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song. Followup:Moved the sub around a bit. Made various adjustments as recommended in some of the posts above and did in fact get close to a balance among various recordings. But in the end I also listened to just the mains, ports unplugged and position... | |
| Newbie to the awesome audiophile world Good advice from @mossyrocks and while I agree that collecting CDs is not practical per se, I am one who still thinks it is a good idea. And I'm still collecting. CDs are cheap. There is great data out there on what the good recordings are. There ... | |
| Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song. Thanks again guys. I've read through all this and I'm trying to process it. I've only been into hi-fi a few years and it has mostly been with equipment that has been handed down to me and in this case inherited.All of which is to say, my technical... | |
| Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song. Thanks guys.@erik_squires Great article.oldhvymec, thanks, I will do those things except I can't move the sub from where it is which is in a corner to the right of the right speaker. And my listening position is too far away but also not an option... | |
| Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song. Thanks guys. Excellent info. It sounds pretty complicated to get it just right and with the limitations on both speaker and sub placement within the room I will probably just forgo the sub.(This set up is not my primary system and it is in a forma... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Khraungbin. Con Todo el Mundo and their second album Mordechai which just came out last month.You guys ever hear of them? (Probably have. I always come late to the game).Most of the songs are instrumental. I don't know what to call it, almost jazz... | |
| So, as always, I am listening to music, through my main system, and I...... They're loud here down south right now. Hardly notice them anymore. | |
| Newbie to the awesome audiophile world Sent you a PM. Will probably list them all here on Audiogon soon since only one subwoofer has moved via Craig's list. | |
| Newbie to the awesome audiophile world Agree about the investment advice. I'm selling a deceased relative's high end system for the executor. The gear is 5 years old and like new. Top names. Most of it is being offered at less than 1/2 the new price and I'm not getting any interest. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Led Zep III. Ripped CD. | |
| Newbie to the awesome audiophile world OP, as a rank noob I'll go out on a limb here and re-emphasize not to spend 25% of your budget on speaker cables unless you already have or already think you have refined listening sensibilities. MC will predictably blast me for this....and that's... |
