| From pass xa25 to krell k-300i How about some context? Like what speakers, in how big of a room and what kind of music do you listen to at what level. That would be helpful. | |
| Primer on SSD and internal hard drives Whoa, a topic with general consensus! That never happens here. OK, Spinning disks are the past. SSDs are the future. No moving parts so less power, less heat, longer life, and absolutely no SQ difference. Spinning disks deserve a special place ... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Nice looking room, nice kit, but until you provide some attention to room acoustics, you'll never approach a small fraction of what either setup is capable. Properly done and integrated into the room design, acoustical treatments aren't just ugly... | |
| rocket 88 Maybe cables matter, but y'all understand that bi-wiring does absolutely nothing, right? You're still sending a full-range signal down both pairs, the crossovers still do their low-pass/high-pass roles. And at 10-12 ft the series resistance is sti... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... A bit more oomph? All these amps are within less than 2 dB of each other and 3dB more than your current amp. A bit is about all you’ll get. All you can get. While you may rightly love your NHTs, you need to take a jump up in speakers to even begin... | |
| Room treatment ideas for annoying external noises 1) This is a structural sound transmission issue (AKA soundproofing, although there really is no such thing, just mitigation) so acoustical blinds, panels, diffusers are all simply wrong. Save those for where they are effective - in room acoustics... | |
| Integrated Amp ideas for a very young audiophile Best investment I ever made for my son was a keyboard teaching toy. Infinitely patient, he would play with it for hours a day then set it aside for a few weeks, then pick it up again. Highly recommended. As for amps & speakers, nothing you li... | |
| What’s the most underrated used Audio Research gear? Dual 76B and SP3-A-1. Much magic there. Especially when used to drive Maggie Tympani IIIs. | |
| Two questions to make you mad. 1) The quantifiable issues associated with wiring and cabling have been accounted for in the design of the Twinscan machine have been accounted for in the design. 2) The dynamics of a live instrument, in acoustical, volume, frequency, and tempora... | |

| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. An audiophile is anyone who says they are. | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? XLRs are great connectors - I've soldered up hundreds over my career and still have a few now-vintage US made Switchcraft pieces in storage. However, unless you have a true balanced system, they are an expensive vanity. Properly used, as the Atma-... | |
| Speaker Recommendations Gotta give Monitor Audio Silver 300 or 500 7G a listen. I also own a pair of MMGs, and love them, but they are very demanding of amp, room and placement. The MA 500s need to be out in the room a bit farther, and go a bit lower and louder than the ... | |
| Accuphase E380 or E4000 integrated amp important from Japan Accuphase has been around a long time.To me, Accuphase and Luxman represent the pinnacle of Japanese audio. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with a choice to go with Accuphase. | |
| Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G @noromance OP is using Klipsch Fortes in a small room. He's already overpowering the room. Be that as it may, and much as I love the REL T/series, they're simply not a good match for the Klipsch. IMHO in an 11X11 room first he needs acoustic treat... |
