| Best Speaker wire with Rogue Audio amp and preamp for $2K or less? I want a warm midrange. I don't want a bright treble.Nice speakers. Well, for certain you do NOT want to go with Nordost as they are great but in this case are the exact opposite of what you’re looking for. I’d recommend Morrow cables that sell ... | |
| Best Speaker wire with Rogue Audio amp and preamp for $2K or less? What sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Amp(s) to go with Joseph Audio Pearls Great speakers. At this level it’s almost all about personal tastes/preferences, so you should really share what sound characteristics are most important to you and what you’re looking for out of the amp and you’ll get much better recommendations... | |
| 2 channel setup - Should I add a center channel or $1500 subwoofer? Unless you have people sitting well off center (in front of one of your L/R speakers and beyond) I’d definitely go with a sub as it adds so much more to involvement and the whole movie experience. SVS is fine and offer good service and value. En... | |
| Looking for recommendations for a pair of full range speakers for ~8k or under If you liked the 804 D3 you should consider the Joseph Audio Profile at $7k/pr. IME JA speakers do pretty much everything better than a corresponding B&W model including that they image/soundstage better and are as detailed but sound more nat... | |
| Is it a Merger or Bust? My 2 channel line source feeds into my preamp-processor, the processor feeds into the 2 channel preamp. @islandmandan — why would you feed your 2-channel source into the prepro when the whole point is to keep the prepro completely out of the stere... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) @brandini — congrats on the new amp, and it’d be interesting to hear your thoughts after you have >100 hours on it. Also, at some point you should consider sending it to Ric At Electonic Visionary Systems for some cost-effective upgrades that c... | |
| Power Cord for Bricasti M5 You can try Morrow or Triode Wire Labs at home risk free that have those sonic qualities so there’s a good chance you’ll love at least one of them and may save you $$$. Best of luck. | |
| Is it a Merger or Bust? Consider a good Stereo set-up. Room and all. How do you get audio in without all the hoopla of a surround set-up?What does this even mean??? | |
| MQA is for chumps Wow. MQA always seemed like a scam to me, so it’s interesting to see some objective measurements that would seem to confirm it. I was happier with Qobuz after dumping Tidal, and now I’m even more so. I hope this message gets more traction so MQ... | |
| New power cable for streamer. Not surprised. IME, if you have a fairly resolving system everything makes a difference and everything matters. It’s both the blessing and the curse of this wretched hobby. | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp First, I’d recommend dumping Tidal and getting Qobuz — it’s cheaper, sounds just as good (and some say better), better user interface, and no need to worry about MQA and all its silly unfolding BS. I dumped Tidal and am much happier with Qobuz. An... | |
| Processor question Here is what I am looking for.....a good sounding (at all audible frequencies) home theater processorAh, that narrows it down. I’ve heard both at different dealerships but with the same stereo and HT demo tracks and they’re both good sounding at a... | |
| Processor question Your last question was pre answered.No, it wasn’t. I specifically asked if 2-channel music was important, and especially because as this is the HT forum it’s possible you listen to music in multichannel. My suggestion was for someone who values st... | |
| Processor question Also, do you have a preference of one or the other in a system used for both music and movies?Rather than ask what someone else prefers, which may or may not have anything to do with what you like, why not share what sonic characteristics you’re l... |
