| Is it my amp or my speakers? I had Tekton Lore reference speakers. I was at a tipping point, as I’d initially heard Tektons with a tube amp...but had always favored solid state. Moving to/investing in a quality tube rig was just not in the budget, nor doable with our house se... | |
| How it works! From a common man. This only increases my absurd curiosity for nano-tweaking all the little corners of my system. Been doing it with tiny isolation adjustments that do wholeheartedly reveal themselves. Curious as to how many here have noticed palpable improvements ... | |
| Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers? Encountered something similar when we got a larger couch in the living room. Getting a smaller rug actually worked. Brought back some life without sacrificing some control over those first reflections. | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? +1 jl35 and +1 Russ I struggled with this some time ago...as I had some tekton lore reference that I loved, but simply over-energized my space. I was considering some monitors on stands, but found a great deal on some Totem Arros. Not nearly on th... | |
| $7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant? This thread has probably long since been exhausted...but has anyone here spoken about receivers made by Outlaw Audio? Curious how those might compare to the others mentioned. I’ve heard nothing but great things in terms of SQ. | |
| Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers I got a set of these in a smaller set, they’re amazing. I wonder if the larger set might help in your case?https://www.nsmt-loudspeakers.com/content/speaker-outriggersGreat folks, super helpful. I would bet they’d even customize what you might nee... | |
| Good Inexpensive Multi Plug @turnbowm I’ve looked at the Zero Surge products, and you’ve been the second person here to recommend them. Surge suppression is not really my concern, just the effect that cheaper filters can have on a system. Again, straight in the wall, better ... | |
| Good Inexpensive Multi Plug @cleeds Sorry...that probably was in no way accurate. Some here have suggested that lower quality power filtering strips can inhibit those moments when an amp needs a quick burst of amperage. Not that the strip doesn’t make it available, but not a... | |
| Good Inexpensive Multi Plug @erik_squires It was actually your article here that inspired me to try separating components! So let me thank you to begin with (should have mentioned it from the start). What I noticed, was that when I didn’t “filter” the power on my amp it sou... | |
| Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF! @artemus_5Yep...I was on that comment thread when Danny’s video had just come about. Long debates, apparently there are those that would rather decide for us that our heads are fooling our ears. It went back and forth. One referred to the Richard ... | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine Diana Krall live? Now your talking. Outstanding. | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine I don’t think you’re off on this. And everyone here asserts that processing happens everywhere...well hell. The “process” of recording -even in the most unhindered approach and using a single ribbon mic -itself creates a type of signature or artif... | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound Don’t want to sound like a broken record (pun almost intended relative to this general forum!) but why not consider the surprisingly good RPi based Allo Digione (or Digione Signature)? It can stream most everything mentioned here, can be easily eq... | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? djones51 +1Backing up djones51, Allo Digione, Digione Signature or Volumio streamer are really outstanding for the price. Digione could use an aftermarket LPS. Not sure, but I think they sell their own as well? Have everything with the exception o... | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range @amp18Those Focals seem really great! Hindsight 20/20, I kind of wish I’d kept my NAD for comparison and a different sound, as it can really drive way above its purported wattage. Dynamic! Just promised I’d sell any major equipment redundancies. I... |
