| How are you hearing no difference? Because people like to think that they are smarter than everyone else and that "they know better." They’re just trolls who have "be right."It's also possible that their system are set up like some of the ones that I've seen posted on the B&W f... | |
| Is pre-amp getting killed? I really like my PS Audio GCD and I’m sticking with it. It’ll be my pre/dac/headphone amp for a long time. | |
| New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23 Why a 23 instead of a 331 or 332? I got a 333 here for $2700 with an extra set of very expensive caps. | |
| The current best band in the world? We have Jonathan Stout’s Campus Five last night at my swing dancing venue. They’re a fantastic group from Los Angeles that is doing true vintage swing for dancers and extremely talented. I highly recommend them as one of the top 5 swing bands in... | |
| I can not live without "Room Correction" Firstnot, that’s the same thing I was thinking. | |
| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? Who cares? Why would hearing loss affect my ability to hear differences between speakers or amps or dacs and prefer one to another? I hear what I hear. Whether it’s the same as what someone with “perfect hearing” hears doesn’t matter.That said, I ... | |
| The High End for Under a Grand? I have a pair of B&W cdm2se speakers that I got used on eBay for $330 shipped with an Arcam integrated I’ve had for a long time but sells on eBay for $150. The system sounds great. I tried the speakers in my main system and they’re lacking a... | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! Just call the Cable Company and demo a few pairs at different price points. It’s almost free (5% of retail) which means for $100 towards any purchase you can demo $2000 of cables. $150 for $3000 worth. Try some. See what you like. I have Cardas, K... | |
| The floor between and behind the speakers is too often neglected You can diy all of that stuff for hundreds of dollars, not thousands. | |
| AC Regenerator $7500 for a P15 is too much for me. I’ll decide to be happy with what I have. | |
| Not enough power what does it sound like? It took a lot of power to drive the bottom end of my known-to-be-hard-to-drive B&W N801's. That was the biggest difference I can say was for-sure related to power output as I experimented with a Crown XLS-2502 which has tons of power. It had... | |
| Suggestions for an amp My experience also says not to mess around with lower end amplifiers. Seems like a lot of good advice in this thread. I tried three “budget” options before getting a Levinson 333 from this site. It’s a good place to really spend enough to know ... | |
| Is It Possible? May I ask where in Sacramento? I live here and I take some things to Skip’s Music for service. I wonder if there is a good high end electronics guy? | |
| Is there actually a difference? I am 100% confident I could tell the difference 10/10 times between the Schiit Vidar that I tried and the Levinson 333 I bought and that is my “forever-amplifier.” My Nautilus 801’s are known to be very hard to drive. I wish I had another 333 to... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I was going to say.. 90% is really easy. 99% is harder. Beside that, just call The Cable Company and borrow some cables. It’s cheap and easy. |
