| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed I'm a securities trader and I've engaged in hundreds of trades over the decades. Trust your gut instinct. I'm pretty sure that by posting the question that you're uncomfortable with the transaction. A missed opportunity is better than lost mone... | |
| Primaluna EVO 400 Amps/Preamp lacking bass impact I have no skin in the game to respond to this ask. I would however like to give major props to @jimmy2615 for offering such a thoughtful reply. There are really some wonderful folks helping each other out. I’ve always been interested in the Primal... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I don’t really know what "audiophile" means. What I do know is that the LS50 Metas are a very good bang for the buck. If your room’s not too big and if you don’t need high SPLs you will be happy. Add a sub, or better two subs, and you will be very... | |
| For those familiar with Sonus Faber I auditioned the Novas and the Amati/Sarafinos. The Amatis are noticeably just more speaker. If you can make the stretch to the new version of the Amatis I'm sure you won't be disappointed. @dayglow makes a good point that the Novas are due for... | |

| From B&W 804 D3 to Focal Sopra 2? I think that the your Anthem will power the Sopra's just fine. I'm driving Sopra No2s with a Hegel H590 (300w/ side, dual mono) and it's never clipped or run out of headroom. B&W vs. Focal: I disagree with some of the comments, I'm in ... | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal @audphile1 Thanks for the heads up on pricing. Since they moved from MQA to FLAC I was thinking about doing a trial. When I saw the monthly fee for Tidal I said forgeddabout it! I'll give Tidal another look. Tidal has the advantage of the "conn... | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” @michaellent +1 for the recording being the boss. I would recommend reading, "Making of Rumors" (classic Fleetwood Mac album). It's written by the sound engineer Ken Caillat. Lots of insight of how they make the special sauce. The recordin... |
