| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? I see a couple of situations where I use critical listening - extensively when purchasing new components and again during set up in my home listening area. For me the most important thing is to have a set of 6 or so musical tracks that I know ve... | |
| MBL Insolvent Can’t rely on uber high end clients alone. New mired moderate priced offerings just too late. How about DarTZeel? | |
| Network Switches Re audphile1 - Don’t knock it till you try it. I was a doubter but did add the Uptown Audio EtherRegen switch and not only did it help with better sounding audio, I noticed Les noise on my 60” Sony XBR picture. I could see the hockey puck easier ... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring I’d ask Peter if he were making this speaker for a higher price point what caps & wires would he use? Hats a nice Jon confrontational way of getting the builders opinion. Consider Master Built cables for your rebuild. My Von Schweikert’s use... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh I’m betting pre-Bose acquisition McIntosh products will hold up well on the resale market. It’s a known entity with associated quality & sound. Private equity groups do this all the time. Pay big $$, over leverage, and then sell for bigger $$... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… I prefer Graham LS 5/5 to Harbeth. To me a bit more spatial. I wanted the BBC Sound to work, but in end realized you really need a floor standing speaker for bass. I ended up going with Von Schweikert Endeavour. Love them! I saw a preowned paid... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I usually speak of how my understanding of audio equipment changed over the years and how certain little changes MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE. Simple no cost changes like moving speakers away from walls or using furniture to limit first reflection will ... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? Mclinnguy is right Etheregen is great. Audio became a little quieter. It immediately improved detail in LED TV picture too. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Guess I should have asked about room size before connecting on the footprint of stand mounts. Good point Avanti! To imattews - I use B&W 804D3 in another room and tried to go the bookshelf route with Graham & Harbeth. I’m 64 y/o and d... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room I’ve been disappointed with most bookshelf speakers that I’ve owned. I compare everything to sonics of good floor standers. Funny thing is most bookshelf speakers when put on stands, have footprint of floor standers anyway! My small room is about ... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference I’m setting up my high end system this weekend and trying to get it to work w the furniture (ugh) in the room. I know not context of your string but your room looks so cool, that I thought I’d ask. Q what is distance between your Focal speaker... | |
| Solo streamer The important part of this exercise is that you can now upgrade either DAC or streamer as needed when tech changes. I just dumped good $$$ on speakers that will allow me to upgrade from an $8k McIntosh integrated (that I enjoy) when I feel the sou... | |
| Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal? I just got my Von schweikert Endeavour. While only 85 lbs each (slightly less than a ton) they are difficult to move because of their shape. Just hard to grasp. I like the Masonite idea as I can leave custom footers in place and still adjust place... | |
| why expensive streamers May for a question for ghdprentice as he seems to have had a good number of streamers. Q. What price streamer is appropriate for my system? McIntosh MA8900, Luxman SACD, NAIM Uniti Core CD ripper/streamer & Von Schweikert Ref Ed floor stan... | |
| Newbie Q about DACs - built in or separate? XLR Output from Luxman into Mac. I'm guessing I need to critically listen to Mac DA2 and then Luxman, etc... AND PER OVERTHEMOON... GO STARS! ;) |
