| PS Audio BHK 600 Who listens to jasonbourne52? He’s never owned a quality product but has a negative response to things he has never heard before. His response is more in line with responses you get on the ANA audiophool site. | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Had an equalizer in the 80’s and 90’s, tried to use it for each song and it was a waste of time. I’d be adjusting the equalizer during the song and the song was either over or near over and my equalizer would be tuned, so I really didn’t hear the ... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Usb is a flawed connection to a dac no matter what. You can buy all the reclockers/tweaks that you want to clean up the signal but in the end, it’s still bad. Your better dacs give you better options than usb. If you look at some of the better dac... | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? Talk about noise, vinyl has more noise than digital, and with every vinyl play, it gets worse. I want it dead quiet, no pops, no scratchiness that vinyl produces. I got rid of all my vinyl for these and other reasons. If digital is producing nois... | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? Nothing is too perfect. You have vendors and listeners that like analytical sounding gear, and most others don't. There are many vendors that pair warm sounding gear with their products to take some of the bite out, other vendors don't. 2 examples... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance I never liked silver cable. Copper is more full range/warmer sounding side of things compared to silver which is more analytical/cooler sounding. Some people like a more analytic sounding system, I don’t | |
| I am taking a survey It’s ok 3.5 | |
| low bass response Your speakers are not the problem, your room and it’s contents are IMO. If you like nearfield listening, try moving your speakers on the long wall, way away from that large cabinet. You will be able to move the speakers out from the wall and you ... | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Seems like you want to impress friends rather than have good sq. Who cares what a preamp looks like, it’s the sound that counts. IMO, what you called high end preamps are just ok in my book, and some of the preamps you stated as ugly or weird are ... | |
| Almost equality I wanted be nice, but I second about the benchmark dac, it is a POS imo, like listening to somebody scratching a chalk board. If you like the benchmark, you will really like the sound of a quality dac | |
| Why is used audio equipment so undesirable? I used to buy good used equipment that was sometimes a few hundred $$$ off the retail price to 1/2 the retail price. Most of these pieces have been sold for sometimes more than what I paid for them to a few hundred $$$ less. Anything new (audio pi... | |
| Bascom H. King Passed R.I.P. Great designer of amps | |
| Too Much Power Making a statement that 5 watts is all you need is ridiculous and it also doesn’t mean 5 watts of class a power is all you need. I’ve had Classe monoblocks that had much more than 5 watts in class a mode and hundreds in class a/ab mode. Get the ... | |
| Choosing a network player/streamer You have to look at the bigger picture. If you are going to use usb to the dac, then it doesn’t matter what you use for the streamer/server, you won’t get good sound quality from that interface. Why do you think the best dacs either recommend or d... | |
| Rogue Dragon VS PS Audio BHK VS Carver 350 If you want flabby/uncontrolled bass but nice midrange, go tubes. I have the BHK signature because it sounds great and it has input tubes with solid state output. I will always use a higher powered amp in my dedicated room no matter if the speaker... |
