| What's going on with the used audio gear market? ...@alwynlarryv ...is correct... I just sold my 2013 Corvette Grand Sport, which sold for almost the amount I paid for it in 2015 - I could have sold it for $2-3K more than I paid for it... IF... I had been willing to go through the hassle of ... | |
| New streamer, new to streaming Just want to be sure I understand the capabilities of the Hegel integrated amps. I have the H590 and use my Bryston BDP to manage streaming files from my internal sources via my internal network, or external sources via the internet connection to ... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @callmedre Agree - Harbeths require powerful SS amplification to sound their best - such as the Hegel amps Harbeth uses to demo their speakers at shows. I’ve got the 30.1’s and 40.2’s and they sound superb in all respects with the Hegel H590. T... | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? @henry53 …”Does my foot tap, if not, don’t buy them.” Please let me know... if your foot taps... at about 2pm this afternoon. I’m auditioning a pair of Quad ESL 57’s! Which... by the way... is the best way to select a pair of speakers - how ... | |
| Best speakers for a small room Several great options... these are some of the better ones: 1. Harbeth 3PSR 2. Triangle Comete EZ 3. Wave Touch Audio Antero All of these sound superb. I have the Harbeth 30.1’s, which I got because they have such captivating sound with the r... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Virtually... ALL... covers by Elvis... are better than the originals... not only more talent reflected, but also, better production values... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) Line Magnetic integrated (tube class A) amps are superb with efficient speakers - provide a rich sound that is very difficult to beat with any SS amps. If you're into anything "acoustic" - you will be amazed. If you're a "rocker" - stick wit... | |
| DAC diminishing returns Since you already have a Schitt DAC - why not try this for 15 days... and... see if you like it! And return it if you don't. At $2199... it is a "friggin bargain" and sounds great to boot! Can't beat that deal.... https://www.schiit.com/produc... | |
| Luxman vs Hegal You may want to talk with the manufacturer of your speakers, or a dealer that sells them to obtain their perspective. I bought the H590... because that line (Hegel) was what Harbeth demos their speakers with, and I was wanting an amp that would a... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @rvpiano I guess I missed those reviews... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @nferre66 And... I guess... there is very little difference in the sound of cartridges - or - at least you don’t have to spend a fortune to obtain good sound from some of them. Frank Schroeder opened my eyes in one of his interviews on YouTube i... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @nferre66 Yeah... I’ve got a Linn Sondek LP12... and... I think I’ll opt for the 1200G too, for the reasons Guttenberg and others have noted. Just want good sound... without the hassles. And... as you likely have seen in my related posts... I wa... | |
| Best turntable for the buck @nferre66 ... makes a good point... Do you want good sound with little fuss... or... the frustrations of pursuing "audio nirvana" with a "finicky" TT?!? This guy's had both - and he made his choice. Your choice... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit As many (most) have noted... how any component "measures" does not determine whether it sounds good to the listener, or not - that is just a FACT! More often than not, a component that sounds superb does not measure well... and one that does... no... | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. I must agree with the comments about Harbeth speakers - which have great rich midrange, well controlled bass and superbly clear, smooth highs. I have both the 30.1's and the 40.2's - which sound very much alike, as do the 3PSR's. When driven pro... |
