| Time For a CD Player Upgrade @sokogear +1 I wasn't prepared for the changes in sound I got from my IsoAcoustics Oreas under my CDP. I was advised by Music Direct and IsoAcoustics to try them under the base plate and not the footers and move them about to settle on the change... | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3 Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed? 🤔 | |
| Time For a CD Player Upgrade Well, there's a new kid on the block and it's from Rotel's upper echelon line, Michi. It's the Michi Q5 CDP, CDT & DAC.( I don't know why they call it all that as CDP covers it all) And, as you can see, it's a top loader! All that for US $6... | |
| Oh my goodness! Whenever I read reviews of supercars, I never begrudge those who can afford them. Sure, It'd be nice but you won't see me going on a supercar forum decrying the costs of the cars. Instead, I just keep on reading the reviews and imagine myself, o... | |
| Fun read... Nattering nabobs of negativism sounds about right. Agnew (crook that he was) thought the press was too intrusive into his personal (criminal) affairs. It's one thing to expose corruption, another to fancy oneself some kind of corrective for socie... | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3 Funny you should mention those three speakers. Here's a YouTube video that, if you have a decent computer set up, can give you a good idea as the sound differences are readily apparent, despite the flaming that will result form me posting this. ht... | |
| Fun read... Aesop was much more concise. Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need a... | |
| An integrated bargain? Everyone's looking for that esoteric piece that's made in some garage with the attendant secret sauce to shake things up and lay bare to the audio world the absolute truth. Get off the merry-go-round. Reorient yourself to recognize what it is you... | |
| AA for us I got there without going to a single meeting. No 12 steps for me, more like a skip and a jump and I'm done. Kinda. It crept up incrementally, like in that Niagra skit but no one strangled me in the Carillon Bell Tower. I knew when I got my curre... | |
| Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers I couldn't agree more. They hired a well respected design studio in France to come up with the looks and it's a combination of an old world speaker look with a Japanese flourish. They've recently came out with a darker color for all their models... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @no_regrets I was referring to what bigkidz said here: Understand that power supply is where most of the sound comes from. If it can filter the noise of the AC, then you get a blacker background, faster transits, more detail, better control o... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports It’s a shame the prices for CEC CDTs have gone up so much over the years. After I got my Technics SU-G700M2, I was down to the matching SL-G700 Network SACD player and the CEC TL-5 CDT. The Technics went for $3000 and the CEC TL-5 was going for a... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Almost, as if by rote, these topics come up. Someone needs to do a study on how many times it’s done by this male dominated hobby and figure out if it’s a slow motion death knell of sorts. The last gasps of a dying herd as we flail on the shore, b... | |
| Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers @agisthos Yup, still off the merry-go-round with no urge to upgrade. Its pairing with the Technics SU-G700M2 still has me scratching my head as to how lucky I got. As for how close they get to the 3X more expensive Dynaudio Heritage Special, th... | |
| Integrated Amps Good to know no one is disparaging the video editor of the Absolute Sound like they do with Andrew Robinson, whose video I grabbed in order to put in another perspective. Don't let that deter anyone interested in a highly performing integrated ... |
