| Esoteric Amps with Revel Salon 2 Speakers Here are the specs from Stereophile: Sensitivity: 86.4dB SPL/2.83V/m (4 pi anechoic). Impedance: 6 ohms nominal, 3.7 ohms minimum at 90Hz. Recommended power: not given. Looking at those specs, I'd say you don't want a low power amp. What is th... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby I feel sorry for all the Audiophile Billies around here and I think you have problems elsewhere in your lives that make it impossible for you to enjoy music. I don't want to get into your lives any further, but as far as audio goes, just relax an... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby Audiophile Billy is sitting there fretting about the distortion, the transient accuracy, the imaging, the soundstage, on and on and on and on…. Billy is a ball of anxiety, angst and minutiae-scrutinizing madness. I have never met anyone who li... | |
| Moody Blues founder Mike Pinder passed away today at 82 I loved the Moodies and still do. Sad to hear that another has passed. I guess we should just be glad we're still here to listen to their music. I'd love to get a 50th Anniversary Question of Balance. | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? This problem comes up frequently and I don't think there's a solution. We all like different music. Music that one person loves drives another person out of the room. What's a presenter to do? I sympathize with them because they have 24 hrs to... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby Audiophile Billy is sitting there fretting about the distortion, the transient accuracy, the imaging, the soundstage, on and on and on and on…. Billy is a ball of anxiety, angst and minutiae-scrutinizing madness. That’s the issue and “the angst.”... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby I don't agree that working and paying to get better sound is not about the music. I'm sure that enough distortion could be added to the best written, played and recorded music that no one would want to listen to it. We pursue good sound to bett... | |
| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... I've looked at Verity Audio speakers often, but I couldn't get past the rear firing woofers. Does this make placement and the construction, treatment, etc. of the front wall really important? How do they do in the bass in general? | |
| Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it I think Backert gives you a 14 day return option. Check with them to be sure. Rising prices are killing everybody, so you know what to do about it in the fall. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change Some people get acclimated to the sound of a particular system and it no longer sets off the endorphins after a while. The sound is still the same, your brain's reaction to it has changed. Putting in a new component in your system can get your a... | |
| Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review @jeffreyw It was sincere. I’m always glad to hear that someone got a nice boost in sound quality from an upgrade. I’ve got a Denali 6000 v1 that was a nice upgrade. @willywonka Who’s going to do these large scale comparisons? I agree that it wo... | |

| Music through streamer vs CD/SACD If by platforms you mean the streaming services, no, they are not ripping cds or using pcs. I don’t know how the transfer is done but I assume files are sent by the record labels to the streaming services over the internet and stored on servers. A... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? One thing seems surer than not, these days: the common sentiment for nifty kit, tangible conventional sleeves and so forth seems like it’ll keep vinyl in production longer than “silent” CD’s, which at least on a sociological level is pretty inter... | |
