| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! I’m really disappointed. We’re right on the cusp of 2025 and we haven’t figured out a way to get the digital bitstream plugged directly into our brains yet. So, drat, our ears are STILL analog and we need those pesky electro-mechanical acoustic tr... | |
| AA for us Severe hearing loss did it for me. Haven’t critically evaluated, tweaked, added, or subtracted anything to/from my "main" system in 8 years. Really nice for articulating dialog from Hallmark Channel at present. Truly exhilarating musical experienc... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Literally cannot give away good examples of quality audio gear I’ve been saving for the grandkids. | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Muscle Cars and Street Rods. Very similar demographics. | |
| Audiophiles in the Wild - They're on to us... Certainly makes a solid case for upgrading the outdoor music system. | |
| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G It's good to see legacy manufacturers producing relevant and competent products today. And, designing the PC board in the shape of Florida is good marketing. | |
| It’s true what they say/and a question @grislybutter "0.01% of us the ones with the talent and the eventual instinct to save humanity." As a "YOUniter" I’m with you. Sometimes it seems a bit like attempting to clean up your neighborhood with a battery-powered leaf blower -- during a... | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! The wife is taking a glimpse into the future and comes to the realization that this may be "the good ol' days" when SHE still owned most of the Living Room -- before stereo, garden hose sized speakers cables, acoustical panels, paragraphic frequal... | |
| Worth repairing a Velodyne ULD-12 from the 90's? @russ69 "I don't think so, not a fan of down facing subs." I've found that ugly woofers are more esthetically pleasing when they are down facing. @sdberman "Not working" is a pretty broad description. As @musicfan2349 suggests, refoam kits ... | |
| Can anyone identify this equipment? Looks like a Kashmir SWHmkII. | |
| Digital Reclockers are they worth the extra Effort - IMO YES Yes, but resetting them twice a year to compensate for Daylight Savings Time gets a little annoying. | |
| Receiver $10k receiver? If you really want a single-chassis solution, I'd take a really good integrated and outboard tuner and strap them together with some of those cool stainless steel zip ties from Harbor Freight. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. As long as our ears remain "analog" there will be the need for amplifiers to "motivate" speakers via cabling -- even it's internal. Quality matters -- even SHORT distances. If I'm following your logic here, my best response is that products with... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions @bipod72 Your choice of possible speakers is right on. Other options listed here are great as well. I approach audio from a "bang for the buck" perspective as well as "risk factor(s)." It appears that the "little" Marantz is going to be part of... | |
| Toe in is crucial As a famous race car designer once said: "If you want to shave 100 pounds off a race car, you have to find 1,600 ways to save an ounce." |
