| Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM Audiohifistore.com posts unbelievably insane low prices for new super expensive audio gear that any reasonably rational audiophile should be instantly suspicious of and should never fall prey to. At any rate, thanks for the heads up. Much appreci... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement Tell me. What’s the significance of adjusting speaker placement in exact increments of 1/8 of an inch? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Maybe it’s just a personal fetish. In over 40 years in high end audio, I’ve been pretty successful at optimizi... | |
| Tweeters with or without fluid? Funny. This post is like a time warp. I haven't heard anyone mention anything about fluid filled tweeters on 15 or 20 years. Ferrofluid-filled tweeters? Beautiful. | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I think you should let your ears and your heart be your guide. | |
| Maggie LRS vs .7 I have extensive experience with Magnepan speakers. Although I no longer own a pair, I’ve heard or owned several pair, including the models mentioned (except the 2.7i). Personally, I prefer the .7 over the LRS+, the 1.7i over the .7, the 2.7i over... | |
| Streaming Leads to Brain Rot "Streaming leads to brain rot" What kind of a stupid, lame brain, imbecile would stoop so low as to write such an article in the first place? Are you kidding me? Anyway, it’s always been commonly known amongst "Audiophiles" that Spotify isn’t of ... | |
| Analog invites you to turn up the volume Different sources sometime play louder, or, less loud, at the same volume levels, just like sometime volumes levels change from track to track. I found that streamed music on my audio rig sounds just as satisfying to me at loud volume levels as m... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I'm old guy who grew up on CD, vinyl, cassette tape, 8 track and reel-to-reel. When CD arrived, I found myself using my turn table less and less, so, eventually, I got rid of it (and everything else), and stuck with playing CD exclusively. Why, ... | |
| Apogee Calipers worth anything I can't tell you how many times over the past 15 years or so, I seriously considered purchasing a nice pair of old Apogee speakers. They're so very tempting. However, upon further research, I found out that all Apogee speakers are more like tick... | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse I have never purchased a pair of speakers unheard in my entire 40 year audiophile journey. Speakers are far too subjective for anyone to take a chance on purchasing without auditioning them first. My recommendation to you would be to, if the spe... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Miles Davis by a country mile!!! #1: The Miles Davis Kind of Blue album is the best selling and greatest jazz album of all-time. #2: Albums sold worldwide= Miles Davis= over 9.2 million vs Chet Baker= a mere 70,000. No contest. | |
| The end of physical media is neigh Sometime, convenience can come to the sacrifice of quality. At least, at first, before the new convenient technologies have had a chance to evolve and improve. I no longer watch movies via surround sound, DVD and Blu-ray, like I did 15 or 20 years... | |
| Are Lampizator DACs uniquely analog sounding? @mglik If you feel strongly that your dCS DAC "frequently falls into the category of background music," then you are most assuredly using the wrong DAC. As for myself, I retired my CD player and my TT four years ago and now stream my music exclus... | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers This is definitely one of those situations where you must simply go out and thoroughly audition both pairs of speakers and let your own ears be your guide. Happy listening. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV or Revel f226be Well, you're dealing with two totally different animals here; box/cone vs horns. However, I would most definitely run with the Revel f226be speakers (with a pair of quality subs), which would be totally killer. Although I've owned and enjoyed h... |
