| Starting my showroom again I don't know how you would be able to compete with the internet for that range of products at that price point. The 'audio' companies that I see around for a long time in my market are companies that perform install of audio/HT/automation/in-wall... | |
| Room is way too bright. Another approach is to put something directly in front of the tweeter. I have experimented with different thicknesses of fabric to absorb some of the energy. Easier than treating the entire room. I should add that I was not thrilled with the re... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? I think it is possible to have both detail and musicality. @ghdprentice once posted or told me it is about keeping everything in the original recording and this hit home. I started with what many would say is a detailed system (benchmark gear) whi... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? I really appreciate these threads. So much to learn and listen for. So much good info for people building systems. One comment I wanted to share is that we all hear differently, process sound differently, and have different preferences. | |
| Qobuz will not work with new iphone Are you using a VPN or network security services? | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. Old thread, but I heard them at a shop in San Diego. I was very impressed. Had top end electronics in a large room. Simply amazing. One of the top systems I have ever heard - the type that you remember. I only listened to one song, which was ... | |
| HT bypass -[ which RCA Interconnect Yes, BJC is good. I would suggest LC-2 but I don't think it matters for home theater. I would focus on shielding - nothing more frustrating than a hum or noise. | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? I'm glad when rich people spend money. Better than if they sit on it and hoard it. The money they spend on these speakers may keep a dealer afloat, pay for shippers, set up techs, the factory workers . . . and all the money moves around the econ... | |
| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. I read about equipment all the time and ask people questions to whose own the gear. I have received lots of great advice from members on AG and end up reading all their posts. It is more about matching the equipment to my preferences. If I can lis... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh MC was already owned by a private equity firm. This is just a change in ownership to another mega corp. It could be good because Bose is a 3 billion a year in sales company so might be some nice investments to allow for new products and R&D.... | |
| Receiver Too Weak? EasyTarget, most receivers have the ability to control the volume of each channel. I suggest bumping up the center volume to help you hear dialog, but keep the front R L channel volume the same, so the loud parts of the show don't get too loud. ... | |
| Aurender n100h or n150 +1 to Juan at Bliss HiFi - he sold me my N150 and I am very happy with his service and advice. Like you, I was deciding between the N150 and N100 and am glad I listed to Juan. I agree, the N100 is getting a bit old. When I compared the price us... | |
| Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages What I find odd is that AG does all these security-based requirements, which is good, but often deletes posts where people warn others about bad vendor / sellers. | |
| Sub suggestions please I will keep up the Audiogon tradition of giving advice you didn't ask for. Are you sure you need a sub? I was of the opinion that the JBL L100 Classics had great bass that was well-synced with the mid and tweeter of that classic speaker. You k... | |
| Pre amp recommendations I was not using the Node’s internal DAC. At the time, I was using a Node that fed into a benchmark DAC3 (DAC and volume control). I swapped the Node for an Aurender N150. You are on the right track, IMO, by focusing on the preamp and the Node. I d... |
