| 2 Questions? I know absolutely nothing about Bache speakers, sorry. | |
| Upgrade Question What continues to gripe me is how the hell does anyone know what I have tried?Nobody cares what you have or haven’t tried — this is not about you. The OP has had the same CD player for 17 years and just because he loves what he hears now doesn’t ... | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? The most helpful information you could provide would be what sound qualities you value and/or would like to improve upon. Without that this is really just a shot in the dark. | |
| 2 Questions? No affiliation, and I don’t promote anything here but rather just recommend products I truly believe are worth consideration by an OP. I haven’t heard the new LSA speakers but am very impressed with the two respected guys who designed them from a... | |
| Looking for recommendations on Tube AMPS to drive Monitor Audio Platinum Speakers Steely Dan is my fave group of all time. Given what you’ve stated, if it were me I’d order a Don Sachs KT88 amp ASAP. I think it will bowl you over, and he offers a trial period in the event it doesn’t work for you — but I’ve no doubt it will. ... | |
| Upgrade Question If you like the sound you're getting now stick with Delta Sigma DACs and avoid these 2R2 contraptions.By that logic we should never try anything new if we like what we have now. Ignorance is bliss, right? Many who have tried R2R DACs much prefer... | |
| Upgrade Question Denafrips, MHDT, AudioMirror, Schiit, Sonnet, SW1X, probably other R2R DACs I missed. Some NOS, some not. So many good DACs to choose from these days. | |
| Upgrade Question What sound characteristics are most important to you?Frankly, I think you’re better off going with a separate DAC these days as you’ll have many more choices to meet your individual tastes, and you can still use your beloved MF player as a transpo... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Then you're not doing it right. Don't blame the recordings. My system is so revealing no two recordings sound the same. The differences between them all is clear and easy to hear. They are all enjoyable.Sure, lower your standards enough and everyt... | |
| Server/Streamer or Streamer/DAC? The Innuos units are streamers and servers and have disc drives so you can load CDs into them without any other equipment/hassle. If in your budget I’d take a hard look at Wolf. | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again What aspects of sound reproduction and system performance are most important to you? Not really possible to make a good recommendation without that info. | |
| Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer I assume those of you throwing stones also refuse to use internet tools to find the dealer pricing on that new auto you are considering? Why are audio dealers a protected class?Why would you assume that? It’s just a flat-out wrong assumption. Ther... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Listening further into bad recordings is not enjoyable IME — the warts just get easier to hear. Yes, there are some good pop recordings, but sadly not many. When I want to listen to poorly-recorded music I like, I just fire up my Bluetooth speaker... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor I’d imagine home theaterphiles are about as few in number as audiophiles and that 90% or so are fine with an AVR. | |
| 2 Questions? I agree that with that genre your best and most cost-effective way to polish the turd is to use some form of EQ rather than trying to find equipment that somehow colors crappy recordings to make them sound good. The other benefit is that when you... |
