| Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System Roberthz-I can’t believe that you aren’t hearing a big difference in SQ between the Revel and your Klipsch. With Revel speakers, you need a very good amp to drive them. Not sure what you are using for an amp. | |
| Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System MC-give it up. We all know your $5k system blows away $1M systems, at least in your eyes. You should get out more and listen to some high quality systems and in a few years, you’ll wish you would have done things different. | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! The more you know about audio, the easier it is to ignore the people that think they know audio but don’t. For example:If you ignore speakers and cartridges with lower sensitivity than 92 and .5mv respectively, you will be missing out on some of t... | |
| Question on Soundsmith carts Why would you call the manufacturer to see if their products are any good or if their new product is better than their older product? Do you really think that any manufacturer is going to say that their newer products aren’t as good as their older... | |
| will changing to solid-state make the bass in my wilson sophias better at low volume? Tubes are great for preamp use, but solid state amps control the bass much better. I have had some very good tube amps and none of them produced quality bass, too sloppy. I would stay away from loudness controls, I’ve had a couple in the past. I h... | |
| Which Speaker Another sales pitch from MC about tekton speakers and he hasn't even heard the speakers he is talking about. Tekton has been called out for over stating their sensitivity ratings, the reviewer said they were closer to 90db. There are many good/gre... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal There's been a rumor for years that Tidal is hurting. So what! Who listens to Neil Young with all of his ranting on politics and audio? Not me. As for Tidal/Qobuz, I find Tidal to have better SQ, as well as MQA albums over Qobuz and Amazon. Now wi... | |
| TIDAL on SALE! Who listens to Neil Young? Go to his concert and 1/2 of it is all political BS. I switched and I had to go thru Roon for a couple of days to re-enter all my Tidal favorites. I found a bunch of new albums that I didn't have before and it was very e... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly This sounds like a sales pitch to me. If you want to use fiber to say your dac, you can get 2 converters from Ethernet to fiber then back to Ethernet with a fiber cable for around $200. The biggest change you will hear is when you get a fiber inte... | |
| Colapse to Hegel Hegel makes very nice integrated amps. Had a couple of their top of the line integrated amps but eventually sold to get better sounding separates. The dacs in their integrated amps are not very good and their standalone dacs are not as good as oth... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. If you have decent equipment, you can accomplish your goal. You don’t need $100,000 speakers and you sure don’t need a bunch of $2 gimmicks to accomplish this.If you don’t have a good acoustically treated room then you are going to struggle to get... | |
| Amp/Preamp Recommendations +1 for the PS Audio BHK amp(s) and preamp with their DS (sr or jr) dac. For an Integrated amp, look at Mcintosh, PS Audio, Classe if you like a warmer sound | |
| Bigger drivers = bigger soundstage It really depends on the manufacture. If you go with cheaper speakers like what millercarbon is talking about, then possibly cheaper larger drivers might be better. With Your better speakers, you can get down to the lower 20hz with multiple 8” dri... | |
| Substantial Upgrade Glad that miller carbon has left the thread, now you will get valuable responses. The sprout 100 is a nice piece especially for your totems. I have this same integrated in my office.If you are just starting out, get a decent TT with a decent MM ca... | |
| Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible. I thought it was a good article mainly talking about small monitor speakers in a nearfield listening position with bits about larger speakers thrown in. For small speakers, I would suggest his recommendations. I have done it this way with good suc... |
