| Horns To get the best horn speaker sound you need matching amps. I use Atma-Sphere MA1 monoblocs, to the Audiokinesis Dream makers. These speakers are designed for tube amps. This match sounds way better than other speakers / amps I tried before. | |
| Horns You might try Audiokinesis speakers. I have their big Dream makers, sounding fine. | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? I would test them in my room before final buying. This is the final test - your room and your system. Can be surprising. I would give them room to breathe, good distance from walls, adjust toe-in, and go from there. | |
| Turned back into a music lover The other day, a metaphor came into my mind. I enjoy this as much as a good TV film. Or more. Listening to analog LPs in my living room. 10cc Sheet music. I like films. For enterainment, the best leaves my stereo system behind. But I did recon... | |
| Sony announces three speakers These seem like lifestyle speakers. Sony can sometimes be very good and innovative. E g their single driver "moebius duct" SRS ZX-1 active desktop speakers were good and served me well for some years. But - did they follow it up? Not that I can s... | |
| Di I really need to clean my LP's? I have experienced the stylus breaking off - from my very costly cartridge - maybe due to too poor cleaning. I don’t want a repeat. So what do I do? I mainly have a dry cleaning regime. If the record seems dirty, it goes into a manual wash. All ... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Another worthy European (Netherland) contender: Golden Earring: Eight Miles High. Maybe Procol Harum, on Home, isn't quite prog. Like many bands they tried to sell records - become more commercial. But often, it did not hurt. Same thing with Ste... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Yes, great thread, thanks to all. +1 Samla mammas manna. For early swedish prog, check out also, Hansson och Karlsson. Nationalteatern. Hoola Bandoola band. Part-prog, at least. The best prog band in the 70s in the Nordic region was perhaps Wigw... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings A dilemma appears - what is meant by "realistic"? The best possible sound from the band or artist? Or what we would actually hear, at a concert? Yes thank you, both - studio as well as live albums? That’s my view. But my idea of "realistic" goes t... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Yes, thanks for many good suggestions in this thread! manogolf - re: Led Zeppelin - "How The West Was Won". I understand what you mean by ’live’ sound. But in my rig it doesn’t translate to ’good’ sound. I compared Immigration song from the 2018 ... | |
| How much air does my preamp need? I have the same problem with my Einstein The tube preamp. I installed a computer fan behind the preamp, and tuned it so it runs without noise. It reduces the heat. But I also - unlike before - turn the preamp off when not in use. | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Case in point, listening to the Blow-up film soundtrack, Jane's theme. What more could I want. I am going to shut my mouth, unless others chime in. I have no affiliations to Arche whatever, and can only report back, as one satisfied listener, hap... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Anyone else, testing the NT-505 headphone output? | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Sorry for spelling error - it should be Audiotailor Jade. | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Source and setup for my testing Qobuz digital - through NT-505 - from the NT direct (headphone output) - compared to the Jade headphone output. The Jade is connected from Teac, first to the preamp with balanced cable and then, single ended cable... |
