| Mix and match subs? Unless you’re hell bent on its looks I think you’re nuts for considering the SF sub at $3k. First, SF is not a premier subwoofer company (as opposed to Paradigm that makes some of the best subs extant IMHO), and the Gravis lll only goes down to 2... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Oh man, Reddit needs you. They love inexperienced, ignorant, overconfident people over there. And since professors don’t answer to principals, I’ll just stay right here thanks. I’ve seen your other posts, and if you continue shamelessly flaunting ... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? I never said headphones equal the performance of loudspeakers directly.Ha. Impressive retort. Nice lame attempt a a dodge, and that’s true. Indirectly. You implied headphones were better, except for the bass. If anything, you are bringing confusio... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Ok Sparky, I’ll bite...So you’re saying that no single headphone in the world can sound like a speaker? For example, have superb imaging and soundstaging capabilities?Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Headphones have imaging and soundstage within thei... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Headphones and speakers are just different. In terms of raw performance (value for the money) headphones are going to outclass speakers. Where speakers win is with visceral bass that we can feel within a room.What site do you think you’re on? This... | |
| Choosing and buying headphones Yesterday I listened to hifiman ananda in the store. I liked the sound, but they are huge in size.You should try the Hifiman Sundaras if they have them as they have a smaller form factor. | |
| Speaker cable advice Aftermarket cables for headphones is an easy way to test silver vs copper cables. I've done it before and there is a difference.I think you’re a bit out of your depth here. Silver cables can sound like copper and vice versa — all depends on the o... | |
| Some advice please.... Limited $$ what should I spend on FIRST? I think you’ll have a much more rewarding HT experience going with the projector and $2300 amp. Plus you can buy the amp used and sell it for little loss when you’re ready to upgrade to a better amp. I wouldn’t get an ML center to pair with Thiel ... | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) Would help to know what speakers you’re using now. I’d probably avoid most tower speakers in your situation as the drivers may not have the time to integrate before the sound reaches your ears. I’d look at a good monitor like the Joseph Audio Puls... | |
| Speaker cable advice There’s an 8ft pair of Acoustic Zen Satori cables on US AudioMart for only $350. Grab’em — you’ll be thrilled. | |
| I am no longer getting MQA? It’s a little ironic that Qobuz, a French company, isn’t available in Canada where about 20% of the population speaks French but is available in the US where hardly anyone speaks French and 20% of US-born citizens can barely speak English. | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative @nekoaudioYeah I know, and that’s what I was going to suggest he do. But he also seems to want room correction in 2-channel, and that’s where this thing goes off the rails with using a separate DAC. I’m not sure the OP knows exactly what he’s aski... | |
| I am no longer getting MQA? Congrats! What a great opportunity to try a free Qobuz subscription and rid yourself of the absurdly intrusive and burdensome MQA menace. | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative @nekoaudiothe OP is looking for a surround sound processor that has room correction and digital outputThat’s not what he said...I love the sound and the flexibility of the unit however it doesn’t have analog inputs, and I would really like to have... | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative Sure, but if you’re pumping the stereo DAC’s output back into room correction that’s going to re-digitize it then you’re no longer getting the sound of the 2-channel DAC. That’s why I initially asked if the OP was using room correction with 2-cha... |
