| $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... | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? @ghdprentice is that a Woo Audio tube setup, by chance? I was looking at the WA22, and WA5LE. I’ve owned tube pres, and it takes some time and coin to get the right tubes. Those 300B’s, everyone says you really need to have the WE’s as a baseli... | |
| Any idea which headphones I’d like? All, thank you for your input.I do have a budget, $12k. I could slide it to $13k. I have owned the Focal Clear’s and ran them on a Moon product. I only really used it when I was sitting at my desk working, never for serious listening. If there... | |
| Aurender's "Sound" I run the Aurender N100H, along with Pass XA60.5's, XP-20, DEQX PreMate, Harbeth SHL5+'s and a PS Audio DirectStream for a DAC. I ended up selling the XP-20, and I go direct from the N100 to my DAC. It sounds organic and neutral, to me. It's "l... | |
| Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound” @len44 Wow, what a long strange trip it has been! I don’t own any of the gear that was originally posted with this, other than the DEQX Premate. I did settle on the XP-20 and it did have a little more detail vs. the McIntosh. But, since then, I... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss I’ve only owned three different sets of amps: McIntosh MC452, PS Audio BHK300 mono’s and a set of PL 60.5’s. I’ve ran a McIntosh C2500, C50, PS Audio BHK Pre and a PL XP-22. Every time I swapped something out, it was in the pursuit of something ... |
