| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo I should mention I can’t currently play vinyl for this application (but feel free to make recommendations) and my main source is Qobuz but can buy/play CDs if necessary. | |
| Illumination Took some time but found him and for anyone that is wondering - he is back with a tour de force. Good for you! Since he’s so hard to find it’d be nice to know how we could find him too. When you start a thread it’s most helpful if you give the ... | |
| Morrow Audio Speaker Cables How’d the SP-6es work out? | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Your list should be full now. @boxcarman Never. Keep’em coming! I’m enjoying them all and hoping others are benefitting from this as well. | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? Preamps matter, and they matter a lot. They are often called the heart of a system for a reason, so dismiss it at your own risk. A good stereo preamp should significantly outperform your prepro in any mode and would probably be the first thing I... | |
| Buchardt A10 Review in Hi-Fi+ Magazine The speakers sound very interesting, but the review is flyover garbage as per usual from Hifi+ as it lacks how the speakers perform with specific songs or how they compare to anything else so isn’t very informative except for very broad and basic ... | |
| The Horror You should throw a quilt or blanket over the TV — it won’t solve your problem but may provide a meaningful improvement. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Hey, goodonya for trusting your ears and not convincing yourself the Eversolo sounds better just because it’s more expensive or because it “should” sound better. Maybe try your phone as a source at the dealer and see what happens there. Best of ... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Nonetheless, there’s no doubt that the iPhone is a fine streamer. @lanx0003 Yeah there sure is doubt. I know what I heard and when I ran my iPhone with an upgraded lightning to USB adapter from LavriCables into my DAC and it sounded worse than ... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Something’s wrong somewhere. I compared my iPad into my DAC (using Qobuz) bypassing its internal DAC, and my relatively modest iFi Zen Stream sounded much better as a streaming source. I can only imagine the iPad being even worse if I was using it... | |
| The Horror Yes I have heard the W5s at Alma Audio, 2 miles from my house. @grislybutter Good for you, and you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. | |
| The Horror And I would avoid the Boenickes for sure. Lot better choices in the W5 price range @grislybutter Have you even heard Boenicke speakers? I highly doubt it. | |
| The Horror I hear what you’re saying, and you have my deepest sympathy because I know exactly how I’d feel in the same situation. Then I started thinking, my system isn’t anything special, but I never came home from a show feeling disappointed with my syste... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Lotsa great suggestions here, and I’m going through every one so thanks! Keep’em coming cause you can’t have too many of these, and no I’ve no plans to go to a high school (although prob not a bad idea to infect them with our disease while they’r... | |
| Help needed - Only one channel playing! I don’t understand — how are you driving the amps with the Terminator? That doesn’t seem possible. Is there no preamp in your system? Something’s missing here. |
