| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Musicians and recording engineers tend to listen to music deconstructively. It's a quite different way of listening which doesn't put a premium on a lot of qualities valued by audiophiles. That plus the fact that music as a profession is, with exc... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? The cobbler's children's shoes. | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @lowrider57 - it relates to an earlier post slagging off Ansuz's pricing. However, seeing as HFC's cable are/were in the upper end of pricing, I think it's reasonably on topic. | |
| Jazz for aficionados First, a quick comment about an earlier comment about Pat Metheney. Metheney is an extremely eclectic composer. I love many of his records, while some just don't appeal to me at all. In terms of more, what I might call "conventional" perspectives ... | |
| any thoughts? The only circumstances I would consider this is if you have cast iron proof that the laser was replaced very recently. But given that transport's age, lasers for it have probably been unavailable for ages. It make far more sense to buy a new tran... | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions Another mention the DeVore Orangutans. Outstanding speakers that work great even on SET power outputs. | |

| Rate my system/advise You are on the right track with Parasound. A pre-owned pair of JC1s would make a significant difference to your system. As others have suggested, I would address the power amps before doing anything else. The 803's need both power and refinement a... | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. The question asked by the poster is if a DAC has have "the same influence on the sound because it's as close to the source as the cartridge is?". What makes the question problematic is that a cartridge's signal has to be amplified and equalised to... | |
| Are Your Ears Good? Simple Test For Your Ears That test is not in any way reliable. An audiogram is the only reliable way to check hearing - up to 8K at least. | |
| Berkeley CA audiophile is desperate need of help What model is the DAC? Overall, it's far more likely to be on the internet/Innuos side of things. | |
| Help.... I'm scared to 'upgrade'! The Pass Labs XP-27 is extremely quiet. Expensive but also very good. | |
| which turntable for the future? The Gyrodeck is a nice turntable but can certainly be improved upon. As you value design/looks, the Oracle Delphi Mk VI is worthy of consideration. The Clearaudio turntables also look and sound great. A final suggestion is Vertere. I regret I h... |
