| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? I reiterate- no speakers, no music. Seems obvious but hey this is an "audiophile" forum, hence "common sense" is often not all that common. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. I've not read all the posts in this thread so excuse me if my question has been answered.Can OP kindly clarify what "lower volumes" means? What are your preferred average decibel levels? As an example in my dedicated listening room, approximately... | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? I’m with Atmasphere and chorus. Except, of course, stating the obvious, if one does not have speakers or 'phones, then THEY are the most important. :)Over and out. | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? @sokogearOver the decades I’ve played at the "audiophile" game, my journey has become much more about the music I’ve learned a lot. One big lesson which I recently had to relearn is that often newer is not better. Different perhaps but not better.... | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? One's bank account? And perhaps a very clear idea of what you expect, desire, your favorite reproduced music to sound like in your space. | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? Some see "mere wires". Others see, and hope for potential magic with CABLES! Some have modest budgets, some have fat wallets. Some listen to the music, some listen to the gear. For many, it's the journey, not the destination. | |
| A somewhat but not entirely rhetorical question: OH, the irony....The tech did such a fantastic job on the amps that I’m gonna keep ’em after all. They have never sounded better and that’s with barely a few hours on the many new caps he installed. If a few days, I’ll roll in a brand new octet of... | |
| Underwood Hifi / Underwood Wally... Walter is a veteran in the high-end audio business and a completely stand-up guy who offers excellent value across the board. His Internet sales model is clearly a success. He responds quickly to emails. I have purchased a number of items from ... | |
| Underwood HiFi Cables I'm eager to try a power cable he graciously included with my recent purchase of a Black Ice Fusion F22 integrated. | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt Vintage tube amps in which dried-out capacitors blow up. Now that’s one serious, memorable kick in the ass!FWIW, I had one of those Robertsons back in the day, and thought it was okay but not great. Replaced it with an Electrocompaniet Anniversar... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: "Nothing is better, nothing is best...." Make sure you eat properly, get sufficient exercise, and get plenty of rest. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Dustin O'Halloran, exploring pretty much everything that's on Qobuz. | |
| A somewhat but not entirely rhetorical question: Update. Divesting myself of the vintage gear. The mono amps are being completely gutted and reconfigured by a gifted tech I was able to find. The preamp and power supply are being gone over by one of the original designers/builders in preparatio... | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration A pair of heavy duty shelf brackets I found at a local hardware store, attached to a couple of studs with four lag bolts and a shelf made from a few pieces of pre-finished bamboo flooring did wonders for my Linn LP 12. An outside wall is best for ... | |
| New Raven Audio CeLest Monitor coming this fall. With the band or are you going solo? |
