| Do my ears deceive me?? My ears never deceive me, but the brain that they are connected to often does. @unreceivedogma Heh heh, that’s a good one! | |
| Transparent Audio Digital Coax Cable I’d also upgrade the DAC first for many of the reasons stated above, then worry about the digital cable later. Best of luck. | |
| Can someone please help Here’s yet another 5 minutes I’ll never get back from a bot. Shame on me. This is getting even more pervasive here and very tiring as a member. I’m starting to lose interest in even being here as I’ve got better things to do rather than just wa... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? at the end of the day a listener has to choose what sounds preferable to them and makes their listening experience enjoyable. So as always, YMMV applies. @charles1dad I agree, but I also thought it important to point out that most high-end syst... | |
| advice for headphones? Hifiman Arya Stealths. What’s your budget? That’d be really nice to know. | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? No manufacturer — and I mean ZERO— uses any EQ in their audio systems at high-end audio shows. Why do you think that is? If Magico, Wilson, Joseph Audio, Rockport, Vandersteen, Audio Research, etc. don’t ever use EQ at shows that they pay a boatlo... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) A short review of the JA Profiles. You can put better drivers in a better cabinet, but in the end it’s in the crossover. And there’s magic in the JA Infinite-Slope crossover. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/my-review-of-the-joseph-audio-p... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? I’ll reiterate, your problem is your Mac preamp. Its sound profile is exactly opposite of your sound preferences. My advice — buy something like this and if it doesn’t significantly improve your sound and maybe even negate the need for any EQ at a... | |
| Salk Future TBD Their should’ve been a succession plan in place. Think of Thiel, which was also a total fail in this regard. All owners of Salk speakers should now be worried about how they’ll get their speakers fixed should anything go wrong. That’s not a comfor... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) At this price level I would’ve taken a hard look at Joseph Audio Profiles. Their unique crossover makes them sound special, especially with respect to holographic imaging and pulling off an amazing disappearing act. But that’s just me, and I’m s... | |
| Power Cord choices Budget??? | |
| Can someone please help It’s gotta be something in the audio setup settings. Rather than racking your brain and wasting more time I agree just contact Denon as they can probably answer your question in about 10 seconds. | |
| Time to upgrade AV Receiver Anthem all day. You can tailor the sound to your liking BTW using their excellent ARC software. I’d note both Anthem and Yamaha have excellent reliability records where Marantz and Arcam do not, so that may be a consideration as well. Go with A... | |
| Salk Future TBD Wow. I’m surprised some entrepreneur interested in making great speakers didn’t pick this up for a song. Pun intended. Best of luck Jim in your future endeavors! | |
| Why are there no newer clip-on headphones? Because they suck, that’s why. They do nothing well and are only good for casual listeners. At this point you’re much better off with a good pair of earbuds or a full headset because even those have become much more comfortable. |
