| Bought A Set of Martin Logan CLX ART Its Going To Be An Adventure Yeah that’s a huge change in speakers — very brave of you! If I can ask, what prompted you to make such a radical change? Have you tried pulling them out more from the wall yet? 4’ seems a little shallow for speakers of that size and dipole des... | |
| Does a balance headphone exist? And if an headphone sound only inside the head with an headphone feel instead of a speakers feeling outside or around the head it is unbalanced headphone for my ears... Big +1 @mahgister It’s not only about balanced tonality but also imaging... | |
| Audio Hungaray Qualiton A50i vs LTA Z40+ Integrated If you’re looking more for a strictly neutral-sounding amp the LTA might be the better choice, but if you’d prefer just a bit of tube warmth the Qualiton is probably better. This is just from reading reviews and feedback from owners so take this ... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch @ghasley Heh heh. I agree that many of my larger audio expenditures were accompanied by a good amount of jitter on my part. I just don’t wanna hear it is all. | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch I am not arguing that you don’t hear a difference. But why are you hearing that difference? Anyone have any insight to that? What does that audiophile quality switch do that makes it better? @charliech What you’re completely missing here is noi... | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity I’m sorry but I really don’t. My only semi-informed guess is that MF amps are a little warmer, fuller, and perhaps a little less detailed up top that may be why some people with Focal speakers may like them, but I really dunno. If you don’t find... | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity I have Soliloquy 6.2s — no longer in business but think Joseph Audio RM25XL and that’s basically their sound profile. Very natural sounding with excellent 3D imaging/soundstage. Since you asked, here’s a review I wrote of them 20 years ago (yikes!... | |
| Subwoofer What’s your budget, and any size limits/restrictions? | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity I found pairing my BP6 with a 2B SST was a bit too clinical sounding and my McCormack DNA 0.5 RevA was a much better fit as it added some oomph and tonality I was missing yet retained the detail and transparency of the BP6. I’d highly recommend b... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? @lbarbish Have a look at these that’ll likely sound much better than your current Linns (I used to sell Linn gear) and might work well with your new decor. Good luck with the move and the speakers! https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649985660-j... | |
| Starter setup Well, there’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back. Thanks for nothing bot. | |
| Head-Fi can be so hardcore Big +1s on both @whart @ghdprentice and as always well reasoned and well said based on years of hard-won experience. The only one small thing I’d mention is, for most of us, budget almost always comes into play. This is what brought me to my e... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? +1 @jond If Wisdom Audio in-walls are in the budget that might be the best of all worlds until the man cave becomes reality. If not, maybe the Gallo Audio A’Diva SE “balls” might make the easiest/cheapest compromise for all involved, and lots of ... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? What about putting speakers in cabinets with doors you would open for listening? "Just shoot me in the head and get it over with." Lol. Be glad I don't have a gun. @jwei Ha! Hey man, I totally get your suggestion an it’s very help... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? Ultimate solution is mancave, and that will be project numero uno. Ultimately that will double as HT room and serious listening room. There's plenty of space but basement will require finishing - actually advantageous cause I can fiddle with si... |
