| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta Following with interest as I am in a similar situation, and considering an upgrade. The LS50’s are so good for their size, I am concerned that anything other than the Reference series will be a disappointment. | |
| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? I am starting to think about the holograms now, can it get better? Out be out of my lane to comment. Sorry, it was a rhetorical question, didn’t figure you would know. Really glad you are liking the AZ’s. | |
| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? @macg19 great to hear you are enjoying them. Honestly, I am still marveling at the Satori’s daily. I think @mclinnguy nailed it with: …allowed all that increased resolution and detail to reach my ears yet most importantly in a musical way, not i... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! Good stories @larsman and @stuartk, I would have loved to see them in the 70's. Alas, my first show was '81 in St. Paul. Eye opening for sure! And very confusing to a new Deadhead with a post-space UJB->Playin->China Doll->UJB->Pla... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @stuartk I guess I'm in a small minority -- I much prefer the band's sound-system in say, '72, to the Wall of Sound. To my ear, the WoS creates way too much space around each player. There are some excellent performances on the Movie sound-tr... | |
| Power strip recommendations These are well made, but do have filtering, etc. https://emotiva.com/products/cmx6 | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! Okay, I will bite and answer the question. My opinion, based on sheer numbers of shows, there is more to mine. The question is whether they have good quality tapes for the shows that are worth publishing. I don’t get the subscription because I am ... | |
| Keep my 1996 bryston 4B or get a new 4B FWIW, I was looking at buying a 4b a few years ago when they came out with the new cubed series. Comments at the time implied this was a fairly significant improvement to the overall sound. I did not end up going that way, but it does sound like t... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! Not part of any of the collections we are discussing, but have a listen to the Soundtrack to the Grateful Dead Movie. The performances are brilliant, and for the audiophile crowd the recording is one of the best. | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @jasonbourne71 Captain Beefheart's Mirror Man! Back in the Days of Yore I put this on the GE console while my family was having Thanksgiving dinner! It fit the mood well at low volume! An undisputed classic from the Captain! This explains a ... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! I only selectively buy these and have not purchased one for a while, so can’t comment on any change. I have been disappointed by some in the past, especially the ‘77 stuff, that doesn’t seem to clean up well IMO. Europe 72 is spectacular, especial... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? What was your previous system? Just headphones? Is it possible that the increased bass with the R7’s is causing the problem? I have KEF’s and tinnitus, and a very smooth system that makes it easy to play louder than my ears care for. And loud for... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Allman Brothers Fillmore East | |
| Is my amp good enough? I commented earlier that you might consider some upgrades after you have had the speakers for a while. I had essentially the same amp in integrated form and was driving power hungry KEF’s. Your amp will definitely drive those speakers. NAD gear is... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz I am pondering this myself, having just set up Roon. How is Tidal vs Qobuz in regards to their jazz catalog? I have developed a taste for Scandinavian jazz and would like to mine that a bit more. Secondly, I don’t always like to play albums, does ... |
