| Sound is better when I stand up? Hi all! Cool. Let's recap: @audioman58 I did mention the brand - Reference 3A MM Gen 2. Stock tweeters; I have ceiling corner foam triangle baffles but am now considering some ceiling hanging foam frames @mbmi swivel chairs. Huh. Good point. ... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? I snap up David Kuhn Trio's LPs whenever they're available on AcousticSounds. Beautifully produced and holographic jazz trio circa 2004-2010. | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @holmz Ahhhh. Haven’t joined Audiogon and bukake in quite some time. Thanks for the reminder. So - the culprit was my wingback! The two wings and its low seating profile managed to smear the sound. On the advice from @elliottbnewcombjr I temporar... | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @paradisecom Reference 3a MM Gen 2. I've had iterations of reference 3as for many years. They are in phase and the tweeters are on the outside. @designsfx The speakers are 8.3 ft apart and my listening spot is 10 ft from both woofers. I do... | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @holmz no headrest, but it is a wingback. I wonder if that's an issue. | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? I have an Oppo 105 which I've enjoyed for years. Highly regarded and lauded. Then Iauded a Schiit Gungnir DAC, making the Oppo a transport and the sound just bloomed! Your Marantz first was produced in 2007, 15 years ago. You could probably stan... | |
| Nobosound Springs Have them underneath my VPI tt and made the stage open up even more. Well worth the price! What Decware speakers do you have? | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Focal 806 monitors. Just a dry and lifeless sound. Didn't work for me and I sold them pretty quickly to someone who appreciated them. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? It's like the classic audiophile cartoon with two men talking over a system and one says, "When I die I sure hope my wife doesn't sell all this for as much as I told her I paid for it." | |
| OPPO 105 VS Schiit Gungnir Necro reply here, but I now have this exact same setup and can attest that the Gungnir is a definite sonic improvement over the Oppo alone. I have the Oppo feeding a Morrow Dig3 digital cable into the Gungnir, which then feeds Clear Day RCAs into ... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? Since this is a used gear site, the art of bargaining and negotiating is in full swing. If I list a unit for, say, $2K, and someone offers $1100. I'm not insulted; I just counter with $1950. That either silences them or they climb the steep hill a... | |
| More about integrateds I just received an 801 and am comparing it side-by-side with my existing Line Magnetic 518ia. The latter costs about 5x the former. The latter is a beautifully-made tube integrated with amazing 845s as drivers. The former is a solid state that I g... | |
| The Music Room Had in interesting interaction with the when I offered to sell back to them a NAD turntable I had bought from the, about a year previously. In essence, the discount I would have gotten on an upgrade was minimal and not worth it. However, the sales... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @frogman Yes, the orchestral version. Thank you for the recommendation! | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Question: what's a good pressing of Ravel's " Le Tombeau De Couperin" |
