| Anthem vs Arcam My experience dates back a few years, but I was a dealer for Marantz, Denon, Sony ES, Pioneer Elite and ARCAM. I decided to do a shootout one evening involving the "premium" AV receivers we had on hand in the $2,000-$3,000 price range. The group... | |
| Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume After doing a little research, I think these bookshelves met the OP's criteria for warmth, accuracy and the capacity to handle a large volume of books. | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music Tidal “Artist Playlist” works for me. I like the feature of previewing the queue so I can reject the songs I (or guests) don’t like. Or, bail altogether if the music becomes to redundant. The Mermen artist playlist is the best music to play while... | |
| New Pink Floyd release All in all, you”re just another thread in the ... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... It is apparent from the comments on this thread that Morrow is considered to be legitimate and offers products that are embraced by many in this group. The challenge from their perspective is how best to communicate the value of something subjecti... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... @bigtwin "What is the sense in a MSRP if you are always offering the product at 35% - 55% off? Don’t tell me your cable is worth $1000 when you never sell it for more than $650? " Yes, I am not impressed when this happens. It my memory serves m... | |
| Looking for a good small subwoofer... Small B&Ws do a nice job of adding power and authority to the bottom end without bringing attention to themselves. | |
| Is there anything better than live recordings? "Is there ANYTHING better than live recordings" That's a pretty open-ended question. I'm hoping to pole vault on my 90th birthday. That would be pretty hard to beat. Related to the music, IMHO it depends on how important your engagement is wit... | |
| Subwoofer boom is too much for me... Yes, but you have to pay attention to the polarity of the washcloth. The label goes towards the inside of the speaker body. | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare I had a good feeling that Jasmine would get you going. So, just curious, how are you feeling about your system today? | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @rbertalotto Okay, a relevant question, please? During you're evening's musical session, was there the possibility of adult beverages involved? I found (from experience) that the "correct" beverage can reduce the perception of upper midrange g... | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare @rvpiano I've got a good feeling about your service call today with Jasmine. While it could be true that Jasime doesn't know her bass from her oboe about high end audio, it's also possible that Jasmine is an over-qualified electrical engineerin... | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare @rvpiano First off, it sounds like you’re still enjoying your hobby. The fact that you just spent serious money on (upgraded) speaker cables is a pretty good indicator of this. I wouldn’t change a thing. If you use the formula: Grief Factor (G... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? @dekay A little off topic but your cat references remind me of a box I keep of Hifi memorabilia from my 45 years of peddling "decent" gear. In the collection is a Focal Utopia berylium tweeter from years ago that formerly belonged to a customer.... | |
| Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound? It also lowers the noise floor. Like each and every time your audiophile friends come over to listen to music and say: "Hey, you really ought to move those speakers out away from the wall". |
