| Speaker recomendation @bache Those bachaudio speakers are beautiful and yes you do have more flexibility in sound options if you can use a tube power amp for the mid range - more fun tweaking too! | |
| Speaker recomendation After reading a review of the current Dynaudio FocusXD and XEO line and that they offer, I feel I would be crazy not to consider actives for use in my home. Does anyone have an opinion based on their own listening experience about Dynaudio’s activ... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Schiit Eitr. Inexpensive and it can definitely improve the sound and allow you to get the most out of almost any DAC. Although totally frustrating that most DACs don’t actually work optimally out of the box and need a band-aid like this..... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense ridiculing the only reason this and other audio forums exist+1 That is indeed ridiculous ;-) | |
| Denafrips maybe have a second thought. I have heard the same about another Chinese made DAC that went wrong when virtually new. Fortunately this is rare. Hopefully with the Denafrips it isn’t a design issue otherwise it could happen again. The shipping cost becomes quite a factor for w... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense +1 I agree 100% with OP. S P E A K E R S are F A R more I M P O R T A N T than nonsense from tweakers ! ! ! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( The high end market is doing better than ever. Ordinary bits of wire for multiple $1000s. Fuses for $150 ($149 profit to the seller) and you can buy contact paste that is 100,000 times more expensive than toothpaste!Profits have never ever been hi... | |
| Beware the audio guru The truth is that folks need to be far more wary of the many ridiculous statements made here. Anyone who fights for truth and asks folks to prove or stand by and demonstrate their ludicrous claims is just a healthy skeptic.Beware anecdotal testimo... | |
| Vinyl - Hearing The Beginning of the Song One Revolution Earler Yup. Anyone who knows vinyl knows this. If you listen to vinyl but never heard it then you are just not very observant. Pre-echo is extremely common and normal. If you can’t hear it most of the time (pre-echo affects the entire LP on every LP) the... | |

| Speaker recomendation @donvito101 Exactly. Americans make nearly everything in Asia or Mexico. Very good value. Definitely the last place I would look for SOTA but for value “American Brand” - the stuff made in Asia is by far the best value.If you read above the OP fou... | |
| Speaker recomendation Thanks for response. I see you are a value buyer - good sound but not overly expensive. I would stick to US made speakers: Revel, Vandy or Thiel. | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( The hot items are contact paste, fuses and tin foil hats. The high end is that tally on fire!!! | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers In theory, with everything equal and no other speaker distortion mechanisms then Dr Toole may be correct: pure ringing at the fundamental can be removed with a notch filter it. However, in practice speakers are not perfectly linear and have limite... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @exfoliate Dr. Toole has a wealth of knowledge and far more experience than most experts. I trust what he says to be true. I think frequency response is primary but I can’t believe he would say that this is all that matters. After frequency respon... |
