| 2.5 Tower vs 2 Way Tower vs 2 Way Monitor You should really consider LSA-20 Statements at $2500/pr available here by the manufacturer. They offer huge value, and even reviewers are buying them, which should tell you something. They’re basically Joseph Audio Perspectives on the cheap. Or, ... | |
| Speaker Variety / Interim Recommendation If you can, check out Joseph Audio, Vandersteen, and Usher speakers. They’re right up there wit ProAc IMHO and will just come down to personal preference and system synergy. All of them are awesome. Best of luck! | |
| 2.5 Tower vs 2 Way Tower vs 2 Way Monitor You really need to share what improvements sound characteristics you’re looking for. Without that, this is just a near useless crapshoot. | |
| Noise isolation headphones I bought these Sennheisers for my wife to work from home during the pandemic and they perform very well... https://www.amazon.com/SENNHEISER-NoiseGard-Cancelling-Bluetooth-Headphone/dp/B07ZPQQCVX These Sony ‘phones are also highly regarded for ... | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. Another vote for Optical Rendu. Here’s another product I just saw. Interesting that it actually throttles down the speed to reduce noise and not too expensive. Just another option... https://hifiplus.com/articles/adot-mc01-kit-2-fibre-ethernet... | |
| Good cost effective USB cables for digital audio please Check out LavriCable. I’ve got several of their cables in my HeadFi rig and have been very impressed with their sound for the price. Best of luck. | |
| Power Cord recommendations for a First Watt SIT3 If I was you I’d try a Triode Wire Labs PC. They have a great reputation, and you can just return it if it doesn’t provide meaningful benefits, but my bet is on TWL. | |
| Speaker Suggestions If you like the sound of the Pulsars, with good reason IMHO, I think going with a Pulsar for a center speaker would be pretty optimal. I think using Pulsars for surrounds is complete overkill unless you have $$$ to burn. You could use Prisms, bu... | |
| Something is amiss What sound characteristics/improvements are you looking for? | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind I agree. I’ve seen more Audio Engine posts over the past week than I’ve seen in ten years. Hmmm. | |
| Audiophile Goal Perfect Center Image Music is recorded/mixed in stereo and needs to be reproduced that way with two speakers. That the one Wisdom speaker sounded good, while maybe surprising, is irrelevant — only real question is how much better it would’ve sounded with two line-arr... | |
| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? Incidentally, Tidal’s MQA algorithm alters the original content to what “they think” sounds better. No thanks. Also, MQA greatly restricts your choice of DACs. IMHO the ONLY reason to consider Tidal is if you have WiFi data limitations that ca... | |
| McCormack dna-1 upgrade or no @richiekess I feel your pain as I’m in a similar sitch. I had a Bryston SST2 in my system and will say it was comparable to my 0.5 Rev A but not better, so I gotta believe one of Steve’s amps with his latest upgrades should be significantly bette... | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 Budget? | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind I went the opposite direction. I have a $25k “big rig” and, due to family/life situations ramped up a good HeadFi system featuring Hifiman Arya Stealths ‘phones, Singxer SA1 amp, Musician Pegasus DAC, Lavri and Acoustic Zen Silver Ref cables, and ... |
