| My Oppo is a bit too bright @jayctoy Good call. I have a pair of Audioquest IC laying around. I'll try those. @millercarbon Yeah, yeah; I know. But still. | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright So I'll be honest, I rarely use the Oppo for CDs anymore. Since I have lostless Tidal, I mainly use it to stream tracks from that service, tho I still play a CD every now and then. If I were to maybe sell my Oppo and invest in just something to st... | |
| Helping friends and relatives buy an audio system... Recently I helped a colleague put together a system he was happy with. Knowing he didn't share my extreme passion for audiophilia, though he did appreciate listening to music on my system, I gave him a mid-end Onkyo receiver I wasn't using, then h... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Question: How would a fuse affect sonic performance? I'm not contesting; I'm just curious? | |
| Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system? According to my wife, a definite NO, despite my protests! She’s right. I’m happy now but there’s always the lure of the audio grail out there. Like, do I really need those synergistic PHTs? No. But I know they’ll do something to my system. | |
| A bit more punch than my Pathos? Update: spinning Mofi 45 Brothers in Arms now through an LFD LEIV SE. Huge soundstage, nuances everywhere, music just projects beautifully. It's everywhere. I'm happy. For now. | |

| Springs under turntable I just received and installed these springs under my VPI HW19 Mk4. They replaced existing tapered rubber feet which I then put beneath the SAMA. Big, noticeable difference in depth and instrument location. Just an overall, more palpable listening ... | |
| What to do with a center speaker? Try Facebook marketplace or Craigslist or some other local platform. There's bound to be a local home theater person who would love it. | |
| ...take 1 CD LP or 1 digital music recording to test a new audiophile friend's system... JLP, Al Dimeola, Stanley Clarke - Rites of Strings CD. One of the best produced CDs I've ever heard. And, of course, Dire Straits Brothers in Arms 45 lp. | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K I would suggest you call Keith Herron and tell him your rig, listening habits, and price range. If you're within a few hours of St. Louis, see if you can arrange an in-home audition. Oddly enough, millercarbon is right in just how Herron products ... | |
| Poor Fritz @b_limo Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense. | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker I took a look at Simon Mears Audio and boutique they are. Not to my taste but I imagine they sound wonderful. | |
| Poor Fritz Question: I’ve wondered about Fritz for awhile now. I have a pair of Spatial M3 Turbo S’s that are completely satisfying, but I wish Fritz offered a floorstander. Does he? or do his monitors compare to the Spatials?s |
