| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ I don’t understand the outrage. They give free shipping . | |
| You are there vs. They are there @mylogic I believe we are in agreement. I feel like we are a little too hang up on the fidelity part of Hi-Fi. It’s like trying to pick a faithful painting portrait of Abe Lincoln but we have never seen him in real life. It will be hard to know ... | |
| You are there vs. They are there @audiodwebe Try The Temptation album All Directions, especially Papa Was a Rolling Stone track. Also Miles Davis album Someday My Prince Will Come, especially the track Teo. Wynton Marsalis album, The Magic Hour, track Big Fat Hen. I am sure ... | |
| You are there vs. They are there @mylogic If anything spatially changes a recording in any way…. the reproduction is flawed. How would you know the recording is changed unless you were at the recording studio or the live venue. Also, there is a difference between adding thin... | |
| You are there vs. They are there @retiredaudioguy In some review I remember reading "a good system will being the performers to your room, a great system will take you there." For the most part, there would be a recording booth. I doubt you want to be there. It’s almost l... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers Given that you are into tube, maybe you should stay away from 86dB sensitivity speakers. Again, how loud do you listen to music? You might have to make some compromise depending on which is more important to you: the amp or the speaker. The common... | |
| Worthy upgrade? I heard a significant improvement in the sound. But, is the upgrade ridiculous in terms of the rest of my system? Given that the goal of an upgrade is to improve one’s system, if you can afford it, I don’t see why not. You already heard “sign... | |
| They should charge more for it… They are absolutely correct. If you think about it, anyone who could afford a $300k turntable can easily afford a $500k turntable. So maybe the manufacturer should have asked $500k for it. Why not? It would not make any less sense. If his audience... | |
| Leave it on? @mylogic Your logic is flawed at best. “How confident are you leaving other appliances on all day and night?”. Do you turn your fridge off at night? Leaving a DAC on with the display off won’t affect global warming in a million years. There i... | |
| Leave it on? There is no one size fits all answer. Some equipments turn themselves off after being inactive for a certain period of time (Marantz AV-10), others are just impractical (Class A amplifiers). On the other hand some can stay on and ready without cau... | |
| My New System Congrats on the new system. Enjoy it while you can. | |
| Stenheim Alumine 2SE Versus Raidho TD1.2 @nainghsy. I ended getting the Raidho td1.2. I didn’t have an opportunity to listen to the Steinheim. I am happy with it as in my system, it seems to have no weaknesses. I have a swarm of 4 subwoofers so I don’t rely on them to handle the bass. Th... | |
| accessories4less.com I have used Accessories4less in the past and the experience was very positive. I would recommend them to anyone. | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @classicalpiano. That’s really cool. It’s called short throw projector. I learned something new today. That would have been my first choice if I didn’t already own a very good flat screen TV (maybe my last now). Thanks for sharing with us. | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables @rankaudio. Thanks for the assistance everyone. So here's the real moral of the story. How could any high quality speaker cable at any price maintain its integrity unless it were connected directly to the internal crossover or source? Almost eve... |
