| Interesting Power Cable Experience @dill I am quite glad I started experimenting with power cables. Quite easily the cheapest improvement to the system I've ever had. On par with a center rug. | |
| Songs with excellent advice? I read this thread, had the perfect song but couldn't remember the title so I left. Now I remember and am back. Here's the song Tom MacDonald - "Brainwashed" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCBNwGHPZ2M&ab_channel=TomMacDonald | |
| Harry Belafonte passed...... @rok2id I'm not familiar with this kind of genre but g'damn that was a good listen. | |
| Opinions on speaker upgrade choices @jimfinn2112 Do you like the Ascend with the Raal? Are you aware of the new version? It's called the ELX, at around $5,300. It seems to be quite a substantial overall upgrade. | |
| Interesting Power Cable Experience I think I made a thread with literally the same title as this one 🤣 | |
| Goodbye Everyone Hi @elliottbnewcombjr We've talked via PM a few. And it's sad to see you go but no party lasts forever and I hope whatever you do, you find more joy. But I advise against joining AVS, haha. Not kidding. I think the issue you have with this sit... | |
| I was happy with my system for 30 years; now I need a new amp...and more? If you can sell everything and overstretch your budget, and buy nice quality speakers that can make you very happy, everything complete in 1 package. Look at the Kef Ls60. Shop around, see if you can snatch a good deal from a dealer. Economy is ba... | |
| I was happy with my system for 30 years; now I need a new amp...and more? While someone with a bigger budget buying lots of things at once can have an easier time. For you with relatively small budget buying many things I would recommend the Kef LS50 WIreless 2. This is the active version of the Ls50 Meta. But amp ... | |
| The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house. The headphone recommendation is really great for 2 reasons. 1) no room reflection. What you hear is just music. 2) very easy to get 100+ db. Some really good headphones like the Meze Empyrean, maintains full composure regardless of volume. | |
| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k I have to clarify that I own the BMR towers and while very good and technically marvelous and a good recommendation to most people, whether it be the bookies or the towers. I just like the Goldenear BRX bookies that I had quite a bit more. The Go... | |
| Feel like I'm outta my mind.... The Polk R700 is very good for the price. If you can stretch the budget further, about 2x more. You'll find exactly what you're looking for with the Arendal 1723 THX It's one of those rare speakers that really make all their owners literally grin... | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) I’m gonna shoot out some well-respected speakers in the 20-30k range. Kef Blade Meta Magnepan 20.7 PS audio FR30 There's also the new, gorgeous looking Sonus Faber too. | |
| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k #1 fix for bright speakers is to pair it with an appropriate tube amp. It will elevate both components to another level. If you want a compact speaker that's more full range and of very high quality, the Philharmonic BMR bookies should be on you... | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? @waytoomuchstuff haha TY and I agree with you. Things like this bring out the kids in us. Also I'm like you. I turn on some universe stuffs and I fall asleep before I even try to fall asleep. My go-to was Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with Neil Deg... | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? @mbmi beautiful indeed. @baclagg YIKES! It's always the worst to wait all day on delivery day and get nothing. I share your pain. |
