| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? My biggest complaint about articles is spelling. I am not good at writing but can not help noticing spelling errors. It is like someone is thumbing published work from a cell phone with no spell check. This happens even on the article titles. | |
| World's Best Stereo System ?... The best system is in the ears of the beholder. And their pocketbook. | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass For pounding rock with deep bass the large JBL's are great. The specs on the low end say 33HZ. IF I had the money I would demo these baby's | |
| My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB? I compared a 100w / Channel Shiit Vidar against a 50W / Crown amp. The Vidar had slightly more low-end punch, but the 45yr old 50W Crown amp left it behind when it came to loudness with no distortion. I am not sure why? When I got a 30W tube amp ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Example, if you have two Levinson mono blocks driven by a Levenson preamp. Will powered speakers sound like Levenson? Or the plate amp inside the speaker? Why not runa cheapo $3,000 setup through a great set of powered speakers if that is the case... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Powered speakers sound great....but. your listening not to your high-end amplifier but the powered speakers plate amp. Passive speakers, you're listening to your audiophile system. I think powered speakers are like having tone controls on a pre-am... | |

| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! I remember records sounding better...sometimes. when I was young, my ears were better. My ears are good for my age, but I can tell my high frequencies are not as good. So, I have a more powerful tweeter. The problem with vinyl is you can get a ne... | |
| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues I can't help with Speaker Advice. Many good suggestions have been already made. My suggestion will repeat. Phasing correct polarity to the speakers. The other is to try KT 77JJ tubes or equivalent. Not only did I get remarkable low end from t... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll If someone is going to ditch their class A system because of heat, I guess a tube system is kicked out the door too! Really, the only drawback I can see in a class A is energy waste from heat dissipation. Enough it may raise the electric bill. Ho... | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero I went to one dealer. I heard 50K speakers on a 30K system.My 45yr old equipment at home blew it away for sound. It was not matched and in a bad room. I went to a different dealer, listened to several integrated amps on $4500 speakers and all was... | |
| Neutral Dac? I am not sure what neutral sounding is because that is subjective. I personally like my Shiit audio Byfrost DAC, which is very outclassed in this forum. | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? In my opinion, if you have a large collection of CDs, then yes! I would upgrade. Something to consider is to burn to something like a bluesound HD or innuous HD burner player if you have the $$$$$$. The burners sound really nice and you have all y... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? I was using 10ga speaker wire from the hardware store. I thought it sounded good until I bought more expensive oxygen free copper 10ga Speaker cable. The highs were much more defined. More clarity and detail in the midrange. The bass was about the... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps The advantage of tubes. 1. When you have a sound change because of worn drivers or outputs you pop in a new tube and presto, like a new amp. 2. You can change the sound for your new speakers by changing tubes. For me tradin... |
