| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? I don't know the term 'new HIFI sound' but if I was to explain it. My interpretation is detail without coloration. I'm in my 50s and the stereo's I heard in my younger years was enjoyable. And when I listen to older equipment (for the heck of i... | |
| Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component. I auditioned upgraded cables tehy were Shunyata Venom NR…. The impact was improved dynamics and details. And one of the sonic effects was the improved detail and control of lower frequencies - I think the cables reduced noise entering the compoun... | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! Enjoy! | |
| Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands? I’m not sure if consensus is possible because the system can be influenced drastically by speakers, cables and such This weekend I am listening to a Moon 860A v2 and it’s significantly more of everything than my Moon M400s. Detailed, dynamic, f... | |
| SF Olympica III to Amati Tradition I've gone up the SF line from Venere's to Sonetto's and Olympica's Nova's...the sound improved drastically- clarity, details and spacing. | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 There's a lot of excellent gear. I believe the answer is yes. I've owned and enjoyed McIntosh and now have some Moon gear - they sound different and I enjoy the change. I recommend you listen to different equipment. I think you have an amazing... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica nova 2 VS Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker vs @Op I have Olympica Nova V (previously Sonnetto V) and listen to a lot of hard rock/heavy metal and rap in addition to other styles. I've heard Olympica Nova 2s and think they sound great. I'm sure there are other excellent options as well. Enj... | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ @john1629 I have owned both and have enjoyed each immensely. Each has a 'house sound'. McIntosh makes awesome looking and sound stuff; however, I have found theirs a beautiful 'veil' over the music. Moon is very dynamic and transparent and ... | |
| Stereo or monoblocks I have monoblocks though it’s due to sound performance per dollar. There are excellent stereo amps and crappy monoblocks. If you can audition - I recommend it. | |
| First impressions of the Audio Desk Record Cleaner I have had good luck with mine - my record collection is small (300ish); however, most are old enough to be the President of the United States. I tend to view it as ‘insurance’ for my sanity and hopefully the needle. And if anything it was che... | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ I’m considering upgrading my M400 amplifiers to the 860av2 and frankly it’s because of the upgrade program. I have Moon and Sonus faber and if cost was no object it would be ARC. | |
| Power cords known to produce good bass I find some arguments for and against cable’s interesting. if your rationale is why would the OEM not include the best cables - then you know the answer is ‘they don’t have to’ in order sell their products. That isn’t the same as cables no... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wish you were here - Pink Floyd | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ I like Moon products- I agree with some of @ghdprentice comments that you may want a bigger jump. The 340i is a great value for the dollar and the 600i is wonderful sounding but not sure if it’s just an incremental versus step change. I don’t... | |
| I just moved and insurance agree with ghdprentice I called my insurance company and even though I have a high value policy for my watches - they stated my stereo equipment is covered so I have receipts scanned on google and pictures for details on brand, model and SN so th... |
