| Audio Envy SP12 Speaker Cables I’d recommend looking for a used pair of Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun biwire cables. They do come up for sale once in a while and would be well worth the wait. | |
| The one time you want to pull out but she says no. BTW, after a few months of pulling speakers in and out I just started leaving them out from time to time and eventually the wife just got used to them being more out in the room and so I just left them there — kinda like audiophile WAF desensitiza... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers Vs. Horn/component Tweeter Do the speakers sound good in stereo set to full range? If so you’ve obviously got no issue and it’s all in the crossover. Also, when income allows don’t get an amp — get a stereo integrated amp. Getting the Denon’s preamp outta the picture for s... | |
| Spotify HiFi $20/month??? I pay like 25% less for Qobuz. Who the hell do they think they are? | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB I’ve got a Starlight 8 still in the box and just wondering if anyone has compared to the Platinum? Just curious what I might be missing because I’m a masochist. | |
| The one time you want to pull out but she says no. Agree to pull them out and push back when done listening. Here’s a product from Herbie’s that’ll make it easy to slide them and many people say they improve sound too. https://herbiesaudiolab.com/products/threaded-stud-glider | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? If I was you I’d buy a Gustard R26 on Amazon, and if it’s not a meaningful improvement return it and decide if you want to spend considerably more on something else or just stick with the DAC in the Hegel knowing you’ve got a really good thing. A... | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? Welcome! You’re definitely in the right place and lots of excellent recommendations above. I’ll add another vote for the Wharfedale Diamonds, but if you can stretch to $599/pr the LSA Signature 50 is in another league entirely. Here’s a review ... | |
| Why would a moderator remove a cable review? I’ve had several posts removed and completely deserved every one, but it was still fun and cathartic to vent on some moron who also deserved it. Heh heh. | |
| I’m about to push the button to get 2 SVS 3000 micros to add to ATC SCM40s. Congrats, and I’d buy the wife some flowers for being such a good sport. | |
| Portable amp for Beyerdynamic T1? With those headphones you can probably get by with an AudioQuest Dragonfly Red or Cobalt, but as they’re open-back ‘phones I don’t see them working on a plane at all. You could buy reasonably-priced earbuds for the flight and use your T1s when no... | |
| Portable amp for Beyerdynamic T1? What version of T1 do you have? Version 3 is much easier to drive. | |
| CD/SACD Changer for the lazy audiophile....suggestions? Buy a Bluesound Vault instead and just load everything into that. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Yeah, search is not a Qobuz strength even on their website and I’ve mentioned it to them. I get around the spelling issue by just typing in the name of the artist and then pull up their albums or songs in that area. I didn’t notice any notable ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @j_andrews Are you using MConnect or MConnect HD? I found the HD version to not be bad at all, and for $5.99 might be worth a try if you’re using the free version now. |
