| Wilson to Tekton to ???? Clearthinker - I agree. It’s an insult to the Wilson brand | |
| Hegel H160 and Focal Electra 1008Be sounding bass-less It’s not the amp. Most Focal speakers I’ve heard (except for the Utopia range) are bass shy. I’ve owned Hegel amps and they will produce the bass the speakers are capable of unless your speakers need more power than what the amp can produce, which... | |
| Is the PS audio M1200 D class amp worth buying or should I stick to A/B class mono amps Instead of asking people how something sounds which isn’t going to help you because everybody has their own preference, ps audio has a 30 day return policy. There is no better way to see how something sounds when you can use it in your system and ... | |
| The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? “As long as it measures well.” I hope this is a joke. IMO, measurements mean nothing in regards on how something will sound. It’s been proven many times in stereophile (since they are the only 1’s that do measurements) that if something measures ... | |
| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues I had a tube integrated with the kt-120's in it and the bass was there but uncontrolled. I haven't heard a good tube amp < $10k that did bass well enough to move away from SS. The PSA BHK amp would blow away the PL, the Rogue, and other tube am... | |
| Stereophile Scamming Subscribers? Anything over $5 is a ripoff for Stereophile or TAS. These magazines are a voice of the manufacturer and always praises the product under review as the best of the best. BTW: I paid $5 a year for Stereophile so I bought 5 years worth, then I will... | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero Equipment doesn’t matter? Bringing a piece of equipment home to demo in your system doesn’t matter? Just listen to whatever you have? This is crazy talk! What plays music is the equipment you are playing it on. You can go over to your friends ho... | |
| Streamer issues did you do some troubleshooting? does your dad work with the input you are using with abnother front end, like a Mac or pc? What happens when you set the rate to 48 or 96 instead of 192? | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound It was prov n over a decade ago that ripped music sounded better than the cd. Also, analog masters are not always better. For years, many of the fantastic sounding vinyl releases used DSD in the recording process. Only when people found out that ... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Range extenders are terrible. Never use an extender using your electric circuits. There are many options on putting in a network in your home. Wired network with switches is the best. If you don’t have or can’t put in a wired network, then a mesh ... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- First, do you believe any of the reviews done by the magazines? They have been so biased for decades and even getting worse. When was the last time you have seen a negative review? Never! Most reviews end in “the best I have had in my system”. I’m... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? I price my items according to what others have sold for. If I get an offer that is ridiculous to me, I don’t respond. I’ve gotten ridiculous offers hours after I posted things for sale which I would never accept. It’s not like going to a swap meet... | |
| Streamers/DACs The Lightning DS software from Auralic products is light years better than the aurender app and I prefer the Auralic products over aurender products. As good as lightning ds is, Roon is much better. As far as sound quality, I would take Roon or A... | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. Jriggy- maybe there is a correlation here, I find jasonbourne52 posts 90% crap! IMO- there are very few true audiophiles, this is true with the reviewers in the trade rags. The majority of people on audiogon, or any of the so called audiophile we... | |
| Streaming Most of the posts here describe entry level systems which is what you will get SQ wise. To think otherwise is foolish. If you get a bluesound/ifi/blue jeans setup, you can always move this to a bedroom for background music when you want to get bet... |
