| Speakers to pair with Quicksilver mid mono Hi there... A fellow Portlander here. If you haven't talked to the good folks at Echo Audio yet I highly recommend reaching out. They always offer good value for trade in gear and their sales staff are some of the best I've ever dealt with. V... | |
| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? I recently listened to the Cessaro horns demoed by Jeffrey and agree, it was the closest to live music that I’ve ever heard in a loudspeaker system. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? I don’t think it’s been mentioned here yet but I remember, and enjoyed, Stereophile’s Musicians As Audiophiles series. A big one was Ron Carter. Also included a lot of NYC area jazz musicians. ... and I always think of Henry Rollins' stereo to... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? I purchased Signal Cable Co. speaker cables 6 years ago at a great price and have never looked back. | |
| How many systems do you have? Garage (old vintage stuff) Studio/Office (very budget but enough for Qobuz and YouTube) Den (main rig) living room (music/tv/movies) | |
| What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? Seems like a lot of ground has been covered but Mr. Darko also made quick vid on them. https://youtu.be/Dvz2SaHzn3U | |
| Late Night Jazz I’m sitting here late at night in my dark listening room and spinning Paul Motian Trio into my new BorderPatrol DAC. Just need to fix a drink and then life is good. | |
| Where do you buy your CDs these days? eBay, Discogs, Bandcamp, used from local brick and mortar shops (pre-COVID), and order direct from record labels. | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? I live in Portland, OR and we have a handful of terrific dealers. I did have a bad experience at one NW Portland location. This specific dealer sold the Rega Brio and Totem Rainmakers. I was interested in hearing that combination together as I was... | |
| Moving: Where should I place speakers in my new room? @tablejockey @regoThanks! I’m going to run with the rule of thirds and use the Cardas calculator for side wall placements. Cheers. | |
| Moving: Where should I place speakers in my new room? @tablejockey Yes. There will be compromises. When you say firing the length of the room will speakers on the North wall make the most sense? Our current home is a small 1950s ranch, and the stereo is in a room that functions as the entrance to the... | |
| Low Cost DACs I use a Chord Mojo in my loudspeaker system and it does a phenomenal job. Right now looks like most places are selling them for around $399. And to also echo some of the other responses you likely can't go wrong with an Audioquest Dragonfly ... | |
| Question Regarding Clearaudio Concept Power Supply @noromance & @mijostyn,Thanks for replying! I have en email over to Clearaudio to confirm the voltage. The Concept manual, and webpage, doesn't specifically list the PSUs voltage, but a lot of third party review sites and Linear PSUs for sa... | |
| The Music Room - Boulder Colorado Sorry to hear you’re having this problem. But glad to hear TMR is making it right. In October I picked up a used Clearaudio Concept from them. The agreement was I’d pay for the Concept’s full asking price, and after TMR received my trade in they’... | |
| Qobuz Special Offer I have over four years of albums, tracks, artists, and playlists saved in Tidal. Does it seem worth it to make the switch? Is the Qobuz library comparable to Tidal? Curious if anyone has been using both services side by side and can share their... |
