| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room I agree the Aurender is a good choice and I’m sure @blisshifi recommendation for the T+A DAC is solid. As alternatives the new Innuos Pulsar looks very good, and their newest version of their free Sense software is getting high praise. Another DAC... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? He probably can’t hear any difference through his Bose speakers. | |
| Looking for subwoofer recommendations As someone who owns an SVS sub, I’d prefer Rhythmic but they’re also a bit more expensive. Do they come with integration software? | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Given all the original thought/development that went into these along with customized and unique parts/drivers I think $3700 sounds like a pretty fair price, as long as they sound good of course. Looking forward to impressions from anyone who get... | |
| Fiber Optic Internet I was going to optically isolate the signal from my router to my streamer with a set of fiber media converters (FMC), but I’m thinking that this kind of internet service would eliminate the need for the FMC’s? Just having fiber internet service... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- So - If you are looking for industry pricing and write nice-nice ask to review…Reviewers love equipment more than music - analytics versus emotion @sts You couldn’t be more wrong. Go ahead and ask any publication to write a review and see how t... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @emrofsemanon Id encourage you to read reviews from Soundstage.com. We were always required to do a thorough review of all the basics you’re looking for and also be able to compare it to a component in a similar class. It’s a no BS site, and I w... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- here’s the issue. very few of the reviewers you know make their living reviewing. They are published, yes. Might even get a few bucks for a piece. but they have real jobs. Its a hobby @itsjustme That’s absolutely true, and it certainly was w... | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes +1 the SVS footers. You can pay more, but I’d try these first due to their reviews, cost effectiveness, and ease of return if they don’t work. If not you can move on to something like Seismic Pods, which are much more expensive but by all accoun... | |
| You had Theta in the past, what did you move onto? The closest I got for DVD/BueRay with HDMI was an Oppo to a Halo P7. That also sounded really good. It was a long time until I had a processor (Anthem) which could compare in sound quality to the Oppo’s analog outputs. Not sure I understand. I... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. I’d second the Innuos Zen Mk3 as, if you’re like me you can also rip whatever prized CDs you have that aren’t available to stream directly into it and have all your music available in whatever order from your chair. With the $$$ leftover in your ... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- What makes someone a professional reviewer? We get paid to write reviews, we are willing to hump lotsa different gear in and out of our systems and spend several hours ferreting out all the details of a component and how it compares to somethin... | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? Didn’t read the other posts, but almost all music is recorded in stereo so why wouldn’t you play it back that way and situate yourself in the position where it sounds best? Yes, there are speakers like Von Schweikert, Boenicke, etc. that use rear-... | |
| You had Theta in the past, what did you move onto? I never really understood plowing $$$ into a pre pro to be able to get good 2-channel sound. IMHO most AVRs do an acceptable job of performing surround processing and amplification, so choosing one with preouts to feed stereo separates or an inte... | |
| Subwoofer suggestions for budget system? Do an SVS SB1000 Pro now, and add another one when funds allow. Two subs much better than one, and anything cheaper would be an insult to your Maggies. You can get an SB1000 Pro from their Outlet for $575 including shipping and a risk-free 45-day ... |
