| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? @islandmandan My wife’s mom struggled with dementia, but those of us around her struggled much more, especially her dad and that seems like where you are. I hope you have access to resources to help you (in addition to your stereo) so if things pr... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? I could get the Vandy sub to go with them for the price of a new pair of Treo CTs. If I was you I’d be on the lookout for two used 2wq subs as there are really good deals out there on those subs now, and two very good subs is almost always bett... | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound I don’t think you can generalize this across all music. Specifically, I generally find the hi-res versions of newer music sounds better than the 16/44.1 version. My guess is that with your subset of music recorded in the 70s - 80s you’re open to... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Lotsa good info here. Thanks! I found it interesting, although completely common sense, that in addition to longer distances if you have multiple users a Mesh system is probably preferable. Also, the ability to prioritize which node gets preferenc... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @sts Just google Tim Shea and Soundstage a stuff should pop up. I reviewed for them from like 2002 to 2017. Ayre, Eggleston, Thiel, Bryston, Bel Canto, Acoustic Zen, Liberty (aka PBN) Audio, McCormack and a buncha other things. I recommend some ca... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @cd318 Ha! Agree 1000% re: What HiFi? and I’ll throw in HiFi+ as another useles rag. | |
| Integrated amp for Proac D2 Hegel is worth a look. Nicely detailed but not overly bright. Best of luck. | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma @grislybutter Just use the subwoofer crawl method and I bet you’ll be fine. | |
| Open Baffle Experience It is important to mention that Audiokinesis and I had a disagreement initially about speaker design but then he started making ad hominem attacks on my character. Its not clear whether his opinion of my character has influenced his opinion about... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- I take issue with these terms of work I encourage you to try writing a review for a publication and go through that whole process again and again before taking any issue. I submit it’s not as easy as many people seem to think. Not sure how... | |
| Integrated amp for Proac D2 What improvements are you looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you? Also, where are you located? | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma @grislybutter I think you might be pleasantly surprised by the SB1000. Did you get the Pro version with integration software? Owners seem to really like being able to integrate their sub with their phone from the listening chair. Please share y... | |
| Open Baffle Experience Oh boy oh boy. Can’t wait to hear the impending beat down coming to kenjit from someone who actually knows what the hell he’s talking about. Hee hee. | |
| To upgrade, or not to upgrade, that is the question +1 @ghdprentice any decent Ethernet cable is gonna cost $$$ for 70’, so I’d get something like a good TP Link extender and the DH Labs cable is likely a solid choice as well. Also, I was recently made aware of these Ethernet filters that seem to ... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice I think the MRX 710 is a good choice for $600 and will be a step up in sound quality over the mass market AVRs. Here’s another one on eBay for $600 that may already have the software and also with no mic but you’d need to pay shipping from Michig... |
