| EMC Record Label Yes, the ECM Records label. There is next to nothing on their site about the quality of their pressings. I would like to know that the vinyl I am purchasing from them is not so thin and cheap you can fold it over like a flour tortilla. | |
| Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers?? I have speakers in several rooms in my humble abode. Each room has gone through a couple of upgrades. It is not impossible to have a few dozen speakers go through a home over a decade, especially if you are only doing a loaner-demo. On another ... | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? There are some incredible recordings coming out these days, and they sound amazing on my system. There are a couple-three companies putting out amazing sounding LPs that blow me away on how lifelike they sound. Not sure about SACDs, but I hear t... | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino For the Original Poster - If you are in or around Atlanta, there is a great dealer that can hook up and do direct comparisons between McIntosh and Gryphon with a pair of Serafino’s. Let the sound be your decision point, not the debate which outli... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? I’m anxious to retire in a couple of months so I can really start to explore these tweaks to my system to see what I hear, and what I enjoying hearing more than I already do. I will suggest, as many agree, some small changes to a system can make ... | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino I power my Serafino’s until last week when I upgraded to Amati’s with McIntosh tube products. Couldn’t be happier. 2600 pre-amp, 2152 Amp and 1100 Phono Pre-Amp. I’m totally sold on the sound and the components are matched very well. | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room Just seems to me that if you need to add a sub woofer to your speaker set up, it isn't a good set of speakers set to a good sound system. I know and have heard what a sub woofer can do, but I would rather have a good system with great speakers th... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall Is there any room at all behind them? I had a lovely pair of bookshelf B&Ws that started me down the audiophile path. Powered by a McIntosh 252. It was a great set up. Sill own the 252 that powers a pair of B&W 804 D2's. Sounds lovely... | |
| Dealer Discount Depends - Is this a one off purchase? Have you purchased from them before? Will you purchase from the dealer again? Given all that 10% to 20% is likely the best one can ask for. It also depends on how much product the dealer pushes out the doo... | |
| Most annoying song, period. How many characters are allowed in these posts?I would say anything by Meat Loaf. | |
| Separate DAC and Streamer or go with a Streamer DAC? I was advised that it is always better to separate components, if you are buying a quality product. A separate phonostage is better than one integrated into the receiver or preamp, if you buy a good one. Same with DAC and Streamer. But, I do kn... | |
| Is soundstaging emblematic of reality? On the other hand, if you listen to some good live recordings, there is a very high probability you will never hear that same perfection and separation of instruments as you would on the recording in a live venue. Case in point, listen to the spr... | |
| Best used turntable(s) around $1500.00 for playing metal and rock Does it really matter what you play heavy metal LPs on? There is no sonic fidelity to appreciate there...Sorry, just had to throw that out there. I find that when I am playing my true rock n' roll LPs from the 70's & 80's I do not get the so... | |
| Sonus Faber peeling leather I would say this is a total anomaly. I wouldn't fret it. You will get new speakers and you will be totally happen. They are beautiful looking and sounding. I'm envious. | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl When I put on Cat Stevens' Tea for the Tillerman from Acoustic Records Pressings - their first release - I heard sounds and instruments that I never heard before in any of the version I own. That is why I love vinyl.I am also enamored with Direct... |
