| Full range speaker recommendation The Focal Aria posters are a waste - what a joke. Higher end Focal - sure. I can't recommend the Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII enough - with the subs you will fill in the very lowest the towers don't but they have EXCELLENT bass extension and supe... | |
| Phono stage price range 1500 to 2000 dollars. Gold Note PH10 - amazing device with on the fly changes to equalization and cartridge settings for two different phono setups. I can't emphasize how great the equalization changes are - Decca, Columbia, and RIAA all sound quite different as laid d... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! What was the rough price for that HIlde45? | |
| I need help regarding tube phono preamplifiers I haven’t heard these but personally wouldn’t use tubes in a phono pre-amp as a pre-requisite as the risk of extra noise is considerable. Instead, use tubes in your main pre-amp and roll those as you like. This will keep system noice quiter and pr... | |
| Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! @ronboco if you have to add 4 subs you should have just bought Sonus Fabers | |

| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? What does balanced get you? Higher signal to noise ratio Lower nose floor, the ability to run long interconnects, others Therefore, expensive cables aren’ts as important also. | |
| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? I love the Schiit Freya+Blue Jeans XLR you up and running for under $1200The volume system is one of the very best anywhere. Tubes can be instantly bypassed from the remote. Unbalanced inputs can be balanced. Changing tubes is easy. Two sets of RC... | |
| Better Integrated Amp? Schiit Ragnorak fully loaded awesome | |
| Shunyata interconnect cables experience I'm a believer in cable quality for interconnects and somewhat with power but within the digital realm you're mostly chasing ghosts in USB cables given error correction built into the standards and the strength of signal that allows for very, very... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" @audio2design doesn't believe in timbre nor the difference between analog/infinity vs discrete/digital! Analog instruments don't sample...analog/infinite - very simple concept; granted within the bounds of manufacturing and human hearing but nothi... | |

| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" @mahgister I know full well what timbre is since music theory in collegeYour mansplaining or copying out of a book is irrelevant and adolescent. Most of what you talk about is rambling gibberish suitable for an abnormal psych textbook but not here... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Here’s another point worth consideringmicrophones and instruments are analog (infinite in that sense). Sampling no matter how good is not infinite (if you don’t get the 3/4D aspect). There’s no instrument but the human ear for this (yet).BTW the ... |
