| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget @cookiecurls you already have received some very good recommendations. I agree with those who suggest one of the BBC models. When I moved nearly a decade ago into a home with a small dedicated listening room, I had opportunity to build a system sp... | |
| Where to purchase cables? I have experimented with lots of DIY and commercial cables without spending too much money. For commercial cables, I buy and sell almost exclusively on A’gon and USAudiomart. If you’re patient, you can buy, test and resell virtually any cable you ... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @tlcocks I certainly was not referring to your review in my comment. I found your comments open-minded and helpful. I appreciate you sharing your experience. The comments that put me off are those that treat other peoples’ curiosities, experiment... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley You described my evaluation procedure to the T! Cheers. | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley As I said in my previous post, I was making no accusations against you. The subject of our discussion is one that tends to generate dismissive and mocking comments, which I find unpleasant and inappropriate. I feared you might misunder... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley You seem to be conflating three distinct points. First, unconventional tweaks or other system components not grounded in scientific theory or results are likely bogus. I disagree on two counts. First, the world is a mysterious place an... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley I can’t agree with your point. I belong to a large audiophile “club” including folks with vastly different preferences, tastes, expectations and biases. So, I’ve seen hugely different responses to new audio experiences, particularly in... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui @ghdprentice FYI: you also can access the great courses on video. I get the channel through my prime account for eight bucks a month. | |
| Power cord upgrade @tkrtrb125 @mclinnguy I have no problem with the church of the naysayers contributing to discussions initiated by questions about whether a cable replacement will improve the sound of the OP’s system. The question invites their perspective. Bu... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG @tom8999 The bldg I live in was wired with FO several years ago. The modem/router they supplied performed quite poorly, so I immediately upgraded to the Calix combo when my provider offered it. It greatly improved the audio/video signal delivered ... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs @kinarow1 I have extensive experience with DHLabs cables and you can’t go wrong with them. Great bang for your buck! In my experience, you can do better if you spend more. I also have used Audience ICs; in my system, they sounded thin and I resol... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions @bipod72 I had Vandersteen 2CE signature IIs for a number of years before moving into a smaller home, where the listening room simply would not accommodate them. I auditioned a boatload of stand mounted speakers at that time. One of my favorites w... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? i think it misleading to suggest that love of music and love of sound quality are antagonistic. I don’t deny myself enjoyment of any music. If I love it, I listen to it. But, I do limit the recordings I listen to in my main listening room to well ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Consider Reference 3A. Like you, I like a detailed, but relaxed presentation of rock and roll, and the R3As suit me quite well. | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I’m not saying there are no audio reviewers out there worth reading, but I haven’t read a review since Moncrief and Enid quit publishing the international audio review. They went well beyond what most reviewers were doing while they were active, a... |
