| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest I’d reiterate my prior recommendation for the AZ Satoris and would add these DH Labs jumpers as they’re very likely an improvement over stock and you’d still be within budget. https://silversonic.com/products/speaker-cables/bi-wire-jumper/ 1... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION Those are three very different sounding preamps so not really sure what you’re after here. What specific improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for, what’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Sometimes you just get lucky In the late 80s my roommate tried like hell to get me to give him my albums when he moved out because in our small NYC apartment I’d switched to CDs as they were the new thing and took up a lot less space. At the time I wasn’t as focused on sound ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers I don't believe in breakin making a big change...Yes, they will change, but if you don’t fall in love with them after your first 10 favorite songs, breakin won’t change that. That was definitely not my experience with my speakers. When I first ... | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest And your vote for pick of the litter is??? That’s really gotta be your call based on what improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for. Read as many reviews as you can and pick the one that comes closest to providing what you’re ... | |
| Pads or Spikes? +1 Townshend — I’ve rarely if ever read such unanimous and enthusiastic praise for any tweak-type product. I’ve also read of people replacing Gaia products with Townshend but never vice versa, FWIW. | |
| RIP. Johnny Barbata Actually Skip Spence was Airplane’s original drummer who was replaced by Dryden. Sadly all JA drummers are now gone. Spence and Dryden both passed at age 67 so at least Barbata had a bit of a longer run. RIP. | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Putting your child/grandkids above new headphone cables?!? You’re a better man than I. 😝😉 | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I estimated your duties and taxes as approximately $262 Canadian, assuming a $1400 C purchase price. That’s a 19% hit. Ouch!!! | |
| Help me understand the current amp market I really do enjoy how my current set up sounds…I primarily listen to Tidal and to pop, electronic and some rap (no jazz or classical). Since this is my first "real" hi-fi set up, I don't have a clear picture as to which direction I want to go. ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers Listening through the break-in process can be maddening as you’re finding out. Things can get better, then get worse, and then better (hopefully) again. I wouldn’t start to seriously assess anything until you’ve got at least 200 hours on them, s... | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? @llg98ljk They’re offered with a 30-day trial period so very little risk to just try them. Ric has been around for decades and isn’t in the business of selling snake oil products so wouldn’t surprise me at all if there’s something significant to ... | |
| Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II Given what you’re looking for I’d put Allnic high on your list of models to explore. Best of luck in finding what you’re looking for. Or, better yet, have your friend build you another one of his phono preamps! | |
