| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. ^This. You've got to get back to a clean slate by shipping the one speaker back to him and getting a full refund. He can then duke it out with UPS. | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2) Exactly!The holistic approach is the only one that will render 3D results, squeezing every last drop of sound from each of the components.Holistic audio is thus akin to holistic medicine. | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair As always, are you talking brand new or used? Used, you can get almost twice the speaker for the price. Browse floorstanders on Audiogon between your two budget points. If it's got to be new, latest version of Vandersteen 2. | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices Seattle: in the university area, you've got a great cluster of three, Hawthorne, Audio Connection, and Definitive, and downtown Tune was very welcoming too. | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. Issues of practicality. How long are you speaker cables? Or do you want to run a long interconnect to the power amp? Or do you go for an optimal set-up and bring the extra $$ for extra long cables or interconnects?The LG OLED sits on a low (San... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Scriabin was very taken with that whole Symbolist doctrine (involving synaesthesia) of correspondences between the senses. See Rimbaud’s poem on the different "color" of each of the vowels of the alphabet.This was in Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, ye... | |
| Ayre introduces the AX-8 integrated amp Any which way, I'd prefer a "straight" integrated without any of the DAC stuff on board. With the AX5 twenty now costing 13K, surely there's room for a scaled down 7.5K model. | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2) I heard you had some high winds there in the Netherlands recently. Perhaps that's why the Hurricane worked so well. | |
| PS Audio P5 owners--are the fans truly quiet? @hifiman5 This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for and it is extremely helpful. Thank you very much. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Years ago I was able to go to a concert of Prometheus: Poem of Fire with the color effects that Scriabin stipulated. It was definitely fun, but not ultimately necessary. | |
| Ayre introduces the AX-8 integrated amp See the photos of the internals of the QX-8 and the 80W AX-8. Hmmm.http://www.theaudiobeat.com/highend2017/highend2017_ayre.htm | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices The Kanta's were only introduced very recently, so it takes a bit of time for them to trickle down into reviews and showroom floors. Looking at the adverts, I began to suspect that they were an expensive "lifestyle" model built for higher WAF. G... | |
| Grounding blocks, boxes and cables, what are you using? I know this isn't quite the same, but any experience with Granite Audio?http://www.graniteaudio.com/zero/ | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated Buzz/Hum The long and the short of this is that there are several variables here, and methodologically it's really hard to pin down exactly what is happening.1. AC quality coming into house varies.2. Design of particular brand/model will have more or less ... | |
