| Comparing systems through phone recordings I am not saying it can be done. I am suggesting a method, to test it. To get a little better at it. What is the problem with that? | |
| Comparing systems through phone recordings I agree with mozartfan. The challenge is, we cannot directly hear each others systems, around the world. As consumers and audiophiles, we would be much better off it we could do this - instead of relying on second-hand writing and opinion-making. ... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? yeti42 - interesting. Never heard the TD307. Is it sealed or with a bass port (like the FR2)? I note it has a 6,5 cm diameter driver, while the FR2 has 6,9 cm. I wonder if there is some optimal size for this type of single drivers, fit for desktop... | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind I recently spent some weeks with the A5+. I agree that they are good, especially for the price - and I found that they sound much better on stands, precisely positioned. Actually it was fun how even small changes shifted the sound picture, and thi... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Arche and Fostex:recent system | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I am testing the Arche speakers and amp with a Fostex Submini sub, at my desktop. Works quite well, and the speakers are mellowing, less hard and sharp now. I wonder if this front-firing sub sounds best - most in line with the speakers - , if i... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Thanks for listening reports, and discussion! I will probably stick around with my NT-505 for a while, before an eventual upgrade. I still need to "get to know it" better, even after a year of use. This is so also because I mainly play music from ... | |
| Krell fpb 600 svs ultra tower And yes, the FPB600 loved a dedicated line, it got even more authoritative, deep and precise. In my 15 ampere line it never triggered the fuse - but that is in Europe, at 220-230 volts. | |
| Krell fpb 600 svs ultra tower I had a Krell FPB600 for ten years. Best sound with balanced cable to the preamp. I liked it best with a tube preamp (Aesthetix Io with volume). There is some protection circuit/jumper to protect against preamp misbehavior, I removed them, got bet... | |
| TT speed I had pitch problems with my VPI Hw-19, with a linear tracker (Clearaudio Triquarz) as well as a pivot arm (SME V). Now, with a Hanss T30, with a superior dual motor / 6 string system, I don't have them. | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers The Submini was first placed under my desktop, but the bass integration with the FR2 speakers (on short stands on the desktop) was not optimal. It sounds better on the desktop, firing towards me, more or less in line with the speakers. My goal is ... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers The Submini and Arche system now works fine in my home office. Complaints minor. | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? I can only chime in, one year listening to the NT-505, streaming Qobuz. Have not heard the newer models. What is clear, is that the 505 needs break-in time. It does not outperform my vinyl rig, but now sounds very good. This is into a tube system ... | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl Tomic601 - so they say. But is it really such a big improvement in digital sound, from "good mid level", to "top level"? I don't have much experience. But from what I've heard, it still sounds digital to me.... | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl I do this once a year - testing the state of digital streaming, vs vinyl. In my system, vinyl still rules. I compare a high end analog chain to a mid-end digital chain. So of course, analog wins. Even so, I note that the gap is getting smaller. I ... |
