| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? Honestly, if you have the Linn already, I would have it properly set up and just keep it. Once properly set up, Linn should go for many years without issues. I wouldn’t recommend this if you didn’t have one already. Anyone who says they require co... | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? I never drink…wine. | |
| Audioquest Design Question If your system is up to date, I see you're using Blue Jeans, which are fine, basic cables. Plus, you have a good baseline from which to judge other products, which will either sound better, worse or the same. IMO, the only way to find out is to ... | |
| Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better? I have been a member of this Forum for many years and have read posts by many audiophiles to whom I believe their systems are nothing but a source of grief and anxiety. I know 1 or 2 people like this personally and I don't think there is a cure f... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? The only thing that matters is whether a cheap dac and expensive dac sound the same to you. What we think doesn't matter. I suggest you invest in a $200 Topping DX3 Pro+ and start your journey. If it matters, ASR said it was one of the best dac... | |
| Speakers for digital piano I don’t know whether you want to go this route, but I would recommend you go to a decent music store and listen to a pair or small/medium keyboard amps. A pair of smaller amps will give a more spacious presentation than a single larger amp and pro... | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever Unfortunately, my Nitty Gritty has a captive cord. :( | |
| 2.5 Tower vs 2 Way Tower vs 2 Way Monitor What is midrange “crunch”? It doesn’t sound very pleasant. My advice is to go to some stores and find some speakers that are giving you what you are looking for and, even if you don’t buy them, you will have a better point of reference for compar... | |
| switching to stand mount speakers “Guess I would need to listen… and decide which sounds best.” Now you got it. Panel speakers and box speakers have a very different presentation and different strong points. There is no substitute for listening. And don’t worry about stand mounts... | |
| Why my CEC TL5100Z can play one ECM cd and not another one? If every other CD works, and I assume you’ve tried more than these 2 (?) there’s something in that one disc that is screwing up the CEC. If there are problems with several discs, you should return the transport. My EAR Acute wouldn’t play a couple... | |
| if someone can help me...... You said your speakers are new? If the system sounds that bad, it sounds to me like the speakers just aren’t working in your room. I’ve had that before and I could never fix it. Had to change the speakers until I found something that works and yo... | |
| Decent mid fi with Onkyo tax-nr809 I like the Onkyo integrated. I was running some Harbeth M30s with a $350 Onkyo while my tube amp was being repaired and it wasn’t bad at all. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @noske - there were tons of pro amps back then. I mean, Woodstock was in 1969, so they knew how to fill large venues with sound. Crown, QSC, Mac, some others I forgot. Bulletproof gear that could take the punishment of the road. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @noske - as I recall, the Japanese receivers were boasting incredible distortion specs in the 70s, but the high-end stuff started becoming more well known in the 80s. And by well known, I mean by a very small percentage of the population who were ... | |
