| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Once we’ve agreed on a suitable, appropriate, and applicable definition of "better" in the context of reproduced music, only then can the dialog proceed. My first questions, and of course they are simply mine, is: "’better than what?". How and why... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? There is a certain kind of humor to be found here which will escape some, but not all. | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @larrykell Well, Mr. Carter appears to be quite an erudite audiophile! I'm actually not surprised. Thanks for the link. | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? The other evening I watched the wonderful special on the legendary Ron Carter, and noticed that his music collection is on CDs played through what looked to be a rather modest stereo system. :) | |
| Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands Of course, the only way to know "for sure" is for you to compare them in your system. All else is conjecture. I will say that I recently sold a pair of .7's with which I used MagnaRisers and then found a pair of MMGs which came with Mye stands.... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Cults and their members are where one finds them. This is simply a general observation based on keen observation of human behavior. All in a historical context of course. :) | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @ryder 5. Advertising and promotion | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I find it humorous that some a’philes seem to think that the pursuit of reproduced musical sound is some kind of contest. As in big swingin’ D***S. "Mine is bigger/better than yours." We’re approaching the winter holidays, and I thought of a cert... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @mahlman I like to put the question of "what is art?" into the same folder as "what is love?" | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? "Pop the lid?" As a mere mortal, somehow $40,000 dollars of "truth inside" does not compute. I have no way of qualifying nor quantifying this assertion. I'm a mere mortal with adequate but not "deep" pockets. However, I do have a sense of how... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Every time I listen to my Luxman Class A integrated I tell myself it's a $40,000 amp and by gawd, it does indeed sound even better. | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD I just purchased a pair of REL T5x and like @Pooch2, I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy they are to set up and dial in.. The REL’s work wonderfully with either my upgraded/modded MMG’s or Sonus Faber monitors. Integration with either the ... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @builder3 Thank you very much. I should mention that two of the things I find so appealing about the Luxman, in addition to SQ, are the excellent build quality and retro aesthetics. The on-unit controls as well as the remote control are pure ... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @wheelndeal1099 Thank you for your comments. I purchased a LUX 550 AXii and am completely happy. It’s one heckuva component and works beautifully when paired with either my Guarneri Homage or highly-modified Magneplanar MMG’s. I’ve never heard ... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing I don't know if there's a "new dynamic" in speaker pricing or not. What I do know is that there are some consumers who are able and willing to pay "whatever." |
