| About users with hidden agendas Spot on, gemoody. A badge is worthy of consideration. But maybe a dealer / manufacturer disclosure in the signature is OK as a first step. To make Audiogon a better forum. | |
| About users with hidden agendas As long as manufacturers, sellers and others with commercial audio interests sail under their own flags, openly - and dont post to the detriment of others - I am OK with it. I also have quite good experience with my Synergistic Research A/C Maste... | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade A user above mentions "silver link RCA for a startling uplift in information transmission. " Can anyone confirm this? Silver RCA plugs and sockets making a big diff?? | |
| About users with hidden agendas There are objective listeners, half-way objective, and the 'money talks' group. Hopefully a small minority in this forum. I am of course NOT thinking of those who disclose their attachments openly, who often contribute a lot to the forum (e g Ralp... | |
| TEAC NT-505 - How good is it? My Teac NT-505 now sounds fine, after more break-in, and runs without problems. I wonder, has anyone compared it to the newest version, NT-505 X? I am testing with three Cerapucs that I had laying around, to simulate the new 3 point floating feet ... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Sorry about the "look elsewhere" statement! Obviously a too broad generalization. And not even true for all the single driver speakers I have tried. | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Ok there are problems with single driver speakers, but compare this new debate on speaker x-overs - quite a long list of problems... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/fascinated-by-gr-research-channel/post?postid=2326082 | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I didnt watch his videos like he was the great speaker saviour, or that I have to buy his kits. Just that he was pointing out typical problems with cheap parts even in expensive speakers. What these parts look like, and how to get something better. | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I agree with the OP. Very interesting videos. Even though some of the experts in this forum may disagree with some of the details of his statements, they generally fit my experience, and I especially like the way they are presented, as he points o... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? My impression so far, testing single driver desktop speakers: If you want pleasant subdued background music at your desktop, look elsewhere. If you want sound that grabs your attention, these single driver speakers are leaders of the pack. | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? John Blue 3 speakers seem similar to the Arche, single drivers, with a bit more low end. Anyone who have tried them? This review has some main points in common with my Arche experience - https://6moons.com/audioreviews/johnblue/jb3_4.html | |
| Listening without interpretation...is it impossible? Although we cannot fully escape from our preconceptions, we can become more aware of them, and be surprised when things dont work like expected. These unexpected surprises are often the most interesting. | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I have no interest in this, except as an audiophile - but if you want pure desktop sound, the Arche FR2 speakers are excellent. You will need a sub, but even a low-price Fostex Submini2 does fine. The speakers are "bright", cutting off at 100 hz, ... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I compared to my wife’s Elac AM50 active desktop speakers, borrowing them to my own desktop. Conclusion: The Arche one-way FR2 speakers with a properly tuned sub (like a Fostex Submini2) are clearly superior in most respects. Especially, they soun... | |
| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers Fostex PM Submini2 arrived today - very interesting - seems to cure most of the problems with the FR2. Now I get upper bass and deeper middle tone OK. Without much smear or detriment to the FR2. Remains to be seen, how well it can be integrated. F... |
