| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject Is there any actual evidence that lp's sound better than digital or otherwise? When auditioning my latest speakers, the dealer used all Esoteric equipment. Did this over three days using insane equipment (for me) including a network dac (N-01XD ... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter Cannot believe a rep would say that about his own products. | |
| Speakers for daughter Is this system more about pleasing you or your daughter? Get her what she wants because she will probably end up not using what you think she may like and it will sit there collecting dust or break it. Don't overthink it. | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel A lot of good points were made in the responses to your question about Danny's company. It's interesting to find out that those $4000.00 a pair Revel speakers have less than twenty bucks worth of x-over parts. And that's a lot of companies doing... | |
| Budget integrated amp needed I think that you will have to buy used. I'm putting together a system for some very un audio friends for about a thousand bucks. When talking to a few local dealers about something at your price point, there wasn't much but one dealer, while we ... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? It was 1977 and I and a couple of others decided to head into the loop (Chicago) and near north to make a day of it, getting high and just enjoying ourselves. We were graduating high school in a few days. One of the things we did was head over to ... | |
| another toy for those with money to burn I wonder if they spent as much time and money on the products' sound quality as they did making that commercial and ads. | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment The Karousel main bearing for my Linn. The purchase of an Esoteric K-03XD SACD/CD Player. But for me, the most enjoyable audio purchases this year will be to install a system in our very non audiophile friends new home by a lake. It will be ... | |
| Thoughts on Spectral Audio gear Used to sell it, and have owned it since the mid eighties. Sonic characteristics changed when Keith O Johnson took over design from Demian Martin and so did the complexity of the build and am not as familiar with the latest stuff. Their is a loo... | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Well not so much of a thought experiment. Once Linn/Naim dealers dotted most western cities around the globe. Quite a few still exist. Between the two they sell every component known to the contemporary Audiophile. | |
| Magico A3 price increases 50%+ I have been building and modifying speakers as a hobby (well sort of) since the mid eighties. One thing I have learned is not everything works like you think it might. About a year ago I purchased a pair of the top of the line Mundorf supreme ... | |
| Very new to high end audio - Recomendations You're in the UK ( £1000 ) ? If you are , you must have some good audio dealers near enough to visit. The kind where you can sit down and listen in hopefully an uncluttered fashion, not some room just full of equipment. An audiophile is an ... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality You're exactly right. I have listened to some serious streaming components and hear the same thing. Sometimes, in fleeting moments the streamed music can be very good but on a whole it's just so so. Now a setup that uses a hard drive (NBS) can ... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Esoteric F-05. Purchased it after realizing that a Rega Elicit R I purchased, while an excellent product simply didn't have the muscle to drive my ATC 19 v2' properly. While on paper the amplifiers have sort of similar power ratings the Esoteri... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? I have been listening to a recent purchase of an Esoteric K-03XD for not quite two weeks and am (coming to grips?) with its sound. It doesn’t sound like a SACD/CD player in the sense that I’m familiar with and it doesn’t sound like a turntable. As... |
