| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Note that it is absolutely possible to make a recording sound better. It might not sound better than the music did in the room when recorded (uh huh), but I've put a bit of EQ on things here and there for decades if I want to…because I can and I'm... | |
| Tube preamp recommendations $3K-$7K range My Freya has JFET, passive, and tube. So it's passive-aggressive. | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are I also now have Heresy IIIs so I'm clearly oddiofyl as well as myself. | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? The ultimate "Open Baffle" system involves simply hooking up "raw" drivers and giving them the freedom to bounce around on the floor unattached to anything but the wire from the amp. Anything else is simply baffling. | |

| New Adcom power amps? I have a 5300 in my rack to power some speakers I stick in the windows to my deck…it's a GREAT sounding mosfet amp, big torroidal transformer, and built like a tank as have all the other Adcoms I've owned over the years. Bought the "mint" 5300 use... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Pianos recorded in different venues by different engineers sound different. Period. I find that the wider the range of my system (using a couple of subs) the more enjoyable pianos sound, but all are different (did I already say that?). I recently ... | |

If the listener knows which amp has the high end fuse, that amp will seem to be better as, after ... | |

| power conditioner I used a Volume Increasing conditioner on my hair and it made it too loud. | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano I think if Bosendorfer wanted to compete with Yamaha they'd make motorcycles. Irrelevant but true. | |
| Since Dennis Had left Cary has the company built any new tube equipment? One of the reasons I bought my Inspire HO is Had's interview thing on Youtube. I liked him instantly. | |
| Tube preamp recommendations $3K-$7K range I had an idea to design a little remote controlled motorized thing that had a wheel with a rubber belt that would go around any volume knob and presto!…all preamps now could be turned up and down remotely. I was going to call it the "Knobulator." ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? The sound of any speaker, including omni directional drivers, is always better "on axis" because the stereo image is right, all conventional drivers beam some anyway, and phase plugs and proper modern horn design is about dispersion to prevent ex... | |
