| How old are your speakers One week for my newest, 40 years old for my oldest. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5 No brainer, 3.7. They are a big step up from a 1.7. | |
| Infinity IRS Betas Make Loud Noise When On Not familiar with Betas but it's probably similar to the RS1Bs that I run. The servo unit is phase dependent, the phase has to be be correct. It sounds like the amp or pre-amp might be inverting the phase. You need to find that out and then connec... | |
| I screwed up You already figured it out. Your system just isn't up to snuff. When you upgrade your system it should blow headphones away. If it doesn't, you need a bigger upgrade. | |
| Klipsch Heresy? Crazy to consider? I have a pair of custom finished factory Klipsch H3s. Although they make useful music they are not the best in overall sound, lacking air and depth. I much prefer my Triangles for serious listening. I will never sell my Heresys but more for nostal... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers You can buy very good speakers today for very little money. Especially in the lower and mid price ranges. I still have my seventies Infinity Reference Standard 2.5s. They were very good speakers and I used them for over 20 years. They are in my 5t... | |
| Retired audiophile? I'm retired and I have been spending more time with my systems than ever. I finally have the time to tweak and play music. I tried downsizing once and it just didn't work out, I still want to improve my system(s). Working made being an audiophile ... | |
| Fake Audiophiles Fake audiophile: A person that bought his/her entire system in one box! | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic There really is no replacement for large electrostatics. What ever way you go it will be less than what you had. I can only suggest a smaller stat. The see through Martin Logans don't dominate the room like the Sound Labs do. At least not the smal... | |
| Pink Floyd, The Endless River - REVIEW Not the very best of "The Pink Floyd" but very listenable. It's similar to Division Bell. If you liked that one you like this one. | |
| Recommendations on Christmas Music?? Jethro Tull. Not a joke. | |
| Hi, new here. out of loop long time. where we at? You might want to try a pair of Triangles (Antal ES). Very tube friendly and amazing 3D. Everything a horn speaker would like to be. | |
| Systen Upgrade advice Biggest improvement is always loudspeakers. It is at least until you run out of money. | |
| High End Tube Gear Transition to High End SS Just my opinion but downsizing is a mistake. There I said it. Clean up your set-up, maybe buy a new table or rack but you wont like the results of moving down from the gear you have. | |
| New production EL84/6BQ5 tubes? The NOS RCAs are very nice and much better than the stock Jolida tubes. I just replace the RCAs with Mullard reissues and that is also a quality tube, nicely made and good sound, just a tad more neutral than the NOS RCAs. |
