| The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a mental illness characterized by paranoid delusions, and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others. People with this personality disorder may be hypersensitive, easily insu... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion I experimented with Stillpoints in the past. I liked them under my DAC but I hated them under a Devialet Premier.Melco S100. Not going to start an argument. I know ethernet switches are a snake oil, a con, bits are bits and idiots are idiots. But ... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion I would argue that the valid approach is: build your "perfect" system and THEN optimise it by any number of tweaks. The snake oils are not meant to replace a component upgrade but to complement a keeper. If one still contemplates a component upgra... | |
| Magico vs the world I went the other way, Wilson to Magico. I have a tiny lounge, I listen near-field, there is a lot of glass in the room etc. I went through endless speakers - floorstanders are an absolute nightmare in my room, many bookshelves sounded too bright o... | |
| dissapointed - new LS50w's vs old PioneerFS52's/Luxman R113 - so far Kef's not so great? I had both the active and passive on home demo, both broken in by the dealer. Didn’t like either. First of all cabinet resonance. Boxy sound. Very obvious. Treble. Metallic, raw, unrefined, reminding me of the first CD boomboxes. They also sound a... | |
| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 Nobody here has mentioned that Oppo is compatible with Roon. In other words you could do without that Sonos altogether. Roon running on your computer can manage your music collection, streaming etc and you could simply use the Oppo as a Roon endpo... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy At least two Wilson Audio dealers in UK demo them on stands and discouraged me from buying the custom plinths advising they are a waste of money. One told me that he only sold a pair of plinths for a customer who just liked the look but, as far as... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy Positioning is important. The right speaker cable was important (so far the best I have tried is the QED Supremus). Filling the speaker stands with sand made a positive difference. Taking time to position them is probably the most important thing.... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy Having said all this the reviewer also mentions that with bungs covering the ports the frequency response is smoother and the bass extended to 55Hz. I use them with bungs. I have a lowly Oppo player as a source now while waiting for my DAC and if ... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy Sorry, only saw your post now. First of all I would tell you that I don’t believe in reviews and numbers. My room acoustic is different, my electronics are different, my hearing is different from yours or anyone else’s for that matter. I have had ... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy I have never taken Q Acoustics very seriously but on occasions I did demo some of their speakers. They are not the most transparent or detailed but they have a pleasing sound and I think you might have something there. Have you thought about givin... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy I have had plenty of class D amps, some quite expensive - Devialet, Parasound, NAD to name a few. They never sound as smooth, lush, natural and musical as the class A monsters. I have never enjoyed a class D and it is with relief that I am now bac... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy I have had the same problem and ended up using active monitors (Genelec Ones) for a couple of years. There was simply no high end proposition on the market to give me the sound quality without the overkill power. Recently, when I heard that Wilson... |
