| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? Metal is not usually recorded well (though Metallica has some well recorded albumns) and the music emphasizes the bass, lower mids and very highs - precisely the areas that mass market systems from best buy, etc bring out and exaggerate. I listen ... | |
| WoW, WoW , Wow Sun Kil Moon/Benji Thanks for the tip. More tips on good music well recorded or streamed are welcome, rather than the focus always on equipment IMO. | |
| Is there a glass ceiling for cable technology?? Nonnoise, can you link to the source of the wire you describe? I would like to consider it. Tnx | |
| Streaming, Apple TV, Tell me why not. I use the Apple TV and find it very convenient but the sound quality to me is 'good not great.' I believe the reason is that the apple TV reduces the bit rate for higher res music. If most of your music is not high res, it may not make a big diffe... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile I would put 400 into a used amp like a nad 3020, put 1200 into speakers like tekton lore or golden ear, then I second the idea of the schitt dac for 100 assuming you have a computer. There are many other ideas but I think putting as much as possib... | |
| DV-09 DAC? Dennon integrated DAC? External DAC? I would focus on putting some thought into getting the best speakers you can afford, then building up the other components to that level over time. Give thought to the speakers in terms of what direction you want to take your system (sensitivity, ... | |
| Wilson Audio in the Near Field? w/ Pass Labs? Beatiful room and interesting system and interests. Just one thought. If you need a small footprint, use nearfield and like sweet mids and low volume listening, have you considered the lower power tube or hybrids, paired with efficient speakers? A... | |
| best way to convert 230 V Luxman LV-103 to 120volt I use a goldsource step up step down 2000 watt transformer to do the reverse - USA voltage in Europe. It's made in China, on amazon and has worked well. It also has user changeable fuses which I like. I cannot hear coloration from the transformer ... | |
| Best Speaker for classical music I would audition poly directional speakers such as shahinian. I think those are best for classical. http://shahinianacoustics.com/home.htm | |
| Jamo D830 In Walls: What to do? I think this is why peoplr purchase speakers. Hope it works out. | |
| Speakers for RWA Signature 57 I like my lore s but it's not bottom heavy with my rwa sig 15. I think the regular lore may have better bass. In terms of your other criteria the lore s are great. Plenty loud on my lower power amp. I also tried my rwa with the big floor standing ... | |
| Looking for a DSD/PCM DAC that can do 110 and 220V My red wine amp can be plugged into either 220 or 110. You just switch the power cord. I imagine the red wine dac is the same. Also note that the wattage of dacs is very low so if you went with 220 a small converter would work. I live abroad and e... | |
| Rega DAC users, Any info on Filter settings? I use 4 too. I can't hear a lot of difference. It's a nice dac. | |
| I would like impressions of Tekton Lore and Lore S I have the lore s. They are as described and I really like them. But I think the bass has less impact than the regular lore. If that's important to you, may not like the lore s. | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes I find it interesting that many of those who come close to being in the position to do such an experiment - namely audio reviewers and editors of audio magazines - say outright that they do not 'believe' in blind testing. Why not? I don't mean to ... |
