| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… @ericeagleson I agree, I wouldn’t compare them, and both have special qualities that I adore. I won’t agree or disagree with the cable comment, but I’ll share my experience when the the current $1/foot wire is swapped…I”m reserving judgement ther... | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… Yes, I should’ve been a little more detailed. I went with PIne Tree Audio cabling for balanced/USB/power, and Audio Art cabling for my C20 power and speaker cabling. I’m running the PL X2.5, PS Audio DirectStream DAC, Innuous Pulse, PL X150.8,... | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… Thank you all. My new speaker cables will be here this week, so not over rotating on any one thing. But, they are the weakest link @coralkong and I believe my setup is fairly revealing. @overthemoon spoken like a true hobbyist!!! I am beyond... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Again, appreciate the comments and the financial wisdom. As I executed upon rebuilding, I found myself in a layer of paralysis analysis. Like many, I don’t have an audio store or an easy way to demo/listen to all the various combos. All of the com... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. @perkadin I know, I don’t take these forums too serious, appreciate the condolences. The truly fortunate benefactor, 2-channel. Haha, mistresses…we’re forgetting about “mristresses,” they like getting in the mix as well. The used market is alway... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. @ghdprentice It’s a ribbing of sort. I have the utmost respect for those that sent their kids to college on GM and Coca-Cola stock. The financial advice offered is sound, and great for all seeking it. I’ve spent my life focusing on math, engineeri... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. I don’t think my financial situation is what I put up for discussion, and it’s a little beyond the scope. I’ve worked very, very, very hard and have lived/operated within my means. This really isn’t the forum to discuss why/how I will be in said p... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Kudos to room treatment, I’ve had GIK produce treatments for prior rooms. Yeah, not sure what all the financial stuff is about…but I’m good, so is my long-term financial outlook. It took me about 10 years and $40k-$50k of saving, buying, trading... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. All, thank you for the advice/opinions. | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? @devilboy thanks for the input. My budget was in the $10 - $13k range. I’m a little paralyzed over which direction to head and really want to listen to some of these setups. Hence, I’m plopping my money in my eTrade account and waiting to atte... | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? All, thanks for the comments and input. Tons of info and thoughts to pour over. | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? @ghdprentice Thank you. Did you do the audiophile-grade upgrade? | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? @master92, do you use them for Mastering? | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? @james633 Thank you for the info! Ahhhh, the beautiful last 5% that makes us spend our discretionary income…and sometimes then some on audio gear! Don’t get me wrong, I really did like the sound. But I have the opportunity to focus on that last... | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? @soix I’ve generally leaned towards “warm.” I don’t prefer bass heavy vs. detail. I’d say the one thing I’ve always really liked is a large soundstage. I prefer a warmer midrange, with accurate bass vs analytical with some bass bloat. I do not... |
