| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte Love my Heresy IIIs and did not like the plastic diaphragm in redesigned mid horn of the IVs, preferring the sound of the titanium IIIs. Have wondered if the Forte IV suffered the same as the Heresy. The Heresy requires a good front end for sure, ... | |
| Steely Dan UHQR I have my original LP and it still sounds great. Amazingly, the 70s cartridges didn't destroy it, and consequently I have no need for a new $150 version. | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! I really liked my system as it was but recently added a Schiit Loki Max EQ as I’d enjoyed their original Loki so much. Game changer... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The Max is transparent, looks cool, has a remote, and does the job brilliantly. I suggest to anyone considering a Max to read Robert Green's well written Absolute Sound review, as that certainly helped in my decision to buy one. Highly recommended. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The Max isn't designed as a 2 to 4 grand mastering EQ, and likely no reasonable audiophile would confuse it for one. There is no advantage in SQ with a multiple frequency notching parametric, just more specific and smaller bands of adjustment. The... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Regardless the opinions of some outliers (Cello Palette. Really? Large and unobtainable, and try to get one repaired.) the Schiit stuff is generally accepted as superbly designed and great sounding. At least around my house anyway. There is absolu... | |
| ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS? Clearly there are only two types of audiophiles: Me and everybody else. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Neal Young famously had his roadies set up an entire pro PA system outdoors so he could listen to a mix of an album. One pile of speakers was close to a barn so at some point he could row out on his lake and yell, "more barn!" | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The Max could put the Room Treatment Cabal out of business. It's amazing and... hey...fun? Anybody have fun anymore? I’ve been using EQs of various types in pro work for decades although not in my main hifi rig as that’s traditionally been a sacre... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? However, you can rev new speakers as much as you wish without damage. Just change the oil regularly. | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice A DAC with a graphic EQ? Who knew? The Loki Max is a deluxe EQ unlike anything else out there (in the analog world anyway). | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? Worth mentioning is the fact that my Heresy IIIs have a sophisticated mid horn with the currently (in the IVs) abandoned titanium drivers. With good gear in front they're very coherent, possibly due to the fact that unlike some other horn speakers... | |
| LessLoss C-Marc Entropic Speaker Cable Just purchase 2 inches of it and if that works buy more. Or realize that "precious" cable ain't always better than well designed cheaper stuff although expectation bias can and does sneak in there. After using various cables over many years I land... | |
| Anxiety help needed. New instal of Hana ML I think you need the entire Michael Fremer pile of microscopes, measuring devices, and hours of tedious adjusting to get the anxiety out. Or, if it sounds good, leave the damn thing alone. | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition There are no great orchestras without great conductors. Same with train lines and electrical connections. |
