| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? What it boils down to is "soul". You can’t measure, nor quantify "soul" with a MM or an oscilloscope. You’ve either got it, or you don’t. I like my way better. | |
| Cabling Recommendations Some of Synergistic Research’s upper-end cables probably deserve a try-out. I assume that most of the really stupid answers in this post are simply because of the monumental ignorance of the people responding. @mrskeptic , we’re all looking dire... | |
| CD player suggestions... Gonna be hard to get SEPARATES for under $800 (which was the stated budget), @allears4u . | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better Pleasurably better sound makes me pleasure myself. | |
| CD player suggestions... @ampus , "Not sure why the Emotiva hate from some of the posters." Well, since you asked, I will tell you my experience with the ERC-4. Purchased new/direct from Emotiva. Unit arrived with the metal faceplate for the drive tray bouncing around ... | |
| What's It All About? It's all about getting laid. | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? "What should make you upset is folks paying orders of magnitude more, only to get a less performant audio device." I think this about sums it up. Got to save the world from itself. I feel sorry for the people who blindly believe the BS you're th... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @amir_asr , Funny how you regress to passive/aggressive mannerisms when you get called out. Put the multimeter down and try listening with your ears. You might be amazed at what you discover. Go ahead and tell me that my "boutique" audio setup ... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? Hard pass on that one, Captain. | |
| CD player suggestions... Got to disagree with the Emotiva recommendation. That one that got sent back. Looks nice, cool remote, but non-gapless playback is a huge problem. I opened that CD player up, and it’s a $10 plastic OEM computer drive. Complete junk packaged in... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? ASR is a joke for people who want to think that their $500 (insert source piece of equipment here) is just as good, if not better than a $15000 (insert source piece of equipment). ASR's "measurements" PROVE it's better! They lost me for good aft... | |
| What is Your End Game System? I'm pretty happy with where I'm currently sitting, thanks. Not sure there is an end-game, if simply because gear gets old or breaks and needs to be replaced. Sometimes it's cheaper just to replace something, or if parts are no longer available, ... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options I've used SKW products before (interconnects). They're pretty good for what they are. I've not used their speaker cables, though. Can't go wrong with Amazon. If you don't like them, return them. | |
| Considering Towers in the $3000 range "My listening preferences are eclectic." Not sure what that means, but I'm going to assume you want a "general purpose" loud speaker. With a budget of $3K, I'd second the DI from Tekton. May also want to look at the used market.....there are ... | |
| Cables to settle brightness For your application, I would choose something that's pure copper (as opposed to silver, or a mix/alloy). I like Synergistic Research cables. There are always some available on usedcable . com |
