| Comparing systems through phone recordings Hi Larryi I agree on your points but think you exaggerate - with a quite bleak view. It would be great if Audiogon members could exchange sound clips from their systems. Even if this is at first low level mobile phone recordings with all kinds o... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I am fine, as long as we can keep this a forum with friendly echange of opinions. We are all a combi of subjective and objective experience. Subjective sometimes lies before objective - look folks, this is what my ears tell me. Endless and unsolva... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I was asked about my music reference. I go for the best sound I hear, regardless of format. No prejudice. Sometimes the CD sounds great, better than the LP, or the streaming, or the sacd or dvd-audio - and so on. Probably mainly because it was mas... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Hi rauoliregas I know - by your standards I am maybe a subjectivist eating bananas. And I have not heard a lot of top notch carts. Although we disagree on some points, I appreciate your comments, and your search for more objectivity. I agree that... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? +1 to atmasphere. The tonearm match is a key variable. Along with the cart output / phono stage match, which also includes a compromise between what you can accept of background noise for getting the best sound. Speaking as a tube enthusiast (conv... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Dear all, I appreciate your comments including mathematics, statistics, brain science, and so on. Here - something more practical. The question for me is not what is best analog or digital, but how to get the best of both. Like others I use digit... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I have bought a new DAC for my office system - Topping E30ii, for ca 150 usd, here Norway. First impression - quite amazing, for this low cost. Much better than the older low cost DACs I used before (Steinberg Ur22, Zoom H6, Fiio x3ii etc). The Ar... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Thanks, i will check the Eve, if I get the chance. This seems to be a conventional treble + woofer driver though. That these can do the job very good is no news to me. Listening e g to Aurum Cantus, Elac, and others. Yet my special interest, as st... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers For further discussion of my Arche desktop system with Fostex sub, see https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/desktop-single-driver-speakers | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I am enjoying the Arche system, and find it very good for home office listening and researching new music. My main system is full of tubes and have ’enveloping’ sound, while this one is s-state and pinpoint/single driver. Interesting contrast. If ... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Just a little update. Testing Pink Floyd: Echoes, with the Lyra Atlas replacement I got back in August, 2018. Could it be, that the pumping woofer syndrome is caused by wear of this cartridge? Short answer: no. The new cartridge has now run ca 120... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? In my case, it was the burglar alarm box. Had to move it to another room. | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. My way forward has been mainly by listening. Also considering good measurements when available. | |
| Help selling Krell 700 CX Sorry - I meant hifishark, not audioshark, in my post above. | |
| Voces8 just blew my mind +1 Great acoustics and the singing isnt bad either :-) And what a song, it deserves this treatment "And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made" |
