Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Why ask this to a group that uses usb to the dac? The sound is already compromised by using usb. What do you think your streamer is? It’s a computer running probably a tainted Linux version. You think Linux is better than OS X? Try again. Some ma... | |
Speaker Suggestions for Next Move Sorry but the Revels, Magico, and Wilson’s are in a much higher league than Klipsch, and especially any magnepan speakers. If you want the more current technology at a $10k savings, look at the Revel f328be speaker instead of the Salon 2s. If you... | |
Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? Why would you ask if a cable would improve your system? Nobody has your system, or your room, so how can somebody know how your system will sound with a different cable? Only you can tell if a cable will make your system sound better. Also, what’... | |
Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps I’ve had many Classe pieces in the past: ca-200, 3 of their preamps last 1 being the cp-60, and the last amps being the ca-m600 monos. I didn’t like the newer Classe products and I didn’t like the thinking of Classe was going to be in business tom... | |
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Nobody can evaluate a speaker against another in 2 different systems, in 2 different rooms. System synergy and room acoustics come into play here. when I looked at Harbeth speakers in the past, I went with another brand mainly because of the sound... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers “Like anything in life, value diminishes as you go up the ladder.” You must not have heard any good speakers. I can list numerous speakers in the $3k-$10k range that would blow away the double impacts. I suggest that you attend a few good audio ... | |
Worst Speakers Ever?? Traded Sonus Faber anything for Moab? I’m guessing you wanted to get some $$ in your pocket or you didn’t have a quality system that would make the Sonus Faber sing. As for the worst for the money: magnepan 30.7, heard them 2x when they were on t... | |
Buying Used Speakers Echo and TMR are great people. Have done many transactions with echo for over 29 years, I’ve done more with TMR in the last 5 years. Echo does have their biases toward there new products, TMR is more neutral. I always go listen to the speakers if... | |
Napping while listening I retired early when I became financial free of all debt and able to make way more money retired than when working. Should have retired even earlier, you only live once, enjoy it. if I wake up early and can’t go to sleep, I’ll turn on some tunes ... | |
The time has come and I request advice... I have the ps audio airlens. Best streamer that I have heard/owned. Using i2s to my ps audio DS sr dac using the revelation audio labs prophecy i2s cable. | |
A quick question on what streamers to consider....... When I auditioned servers/streamers years ago, Aurender was a distant 3rd compared to Auralic and Lumin. Aurender software is pretty bad too compared to Lightning DS or Roon. Today, the best streamer that I have heard is the ps audio airlens. Mos... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I don’t care about measurements, nor do I care about reviewers opinions, I use my ears. I do look at specs from the vendor and it’s me that determines if theirs synergy amongst the pieces. I’m glad that these 4 guys came out with this YouTube vid... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers When you go to an audio show, you better bring your “A” game, no excuses. You are saying that if something sounds bad, it’s not the fault of the product? I also want to bring up the multiple reviews done by other audio reviewers that actually te... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers You go out of the country for a while without internet and people ask where is the OP. What else is there to say? You have a magazine that would probably still give the Bose 901’s an A rating because they never say anything negative about a compo... | |
Audiophile junkie - awesome vid about NYC million dollar system today They did a nice job of building everything into the cabinet, nice woodwork, nice gear. But that’s all that’s nice. I grew up with my parents having the old Altec voice of the theater speaker system, which at the time sounded nice, but they also h... |
