| How old are you? For the past ten years I've wanted to ask this simple question. Greatly appreciate the responses, everyone. I especially enjoyed the stories and insight. By chance did anyone run the numbers for us to determine the average age of respondents? Don'... | |
| Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"? I think it's already here, too. I also think it's one of the few pathways for tapping the next generation. | |
| "The War on Drugs" create music from a "cacophony sound" of reverb, echo plex, etc, I would agree that some of the reverb and distortion can be distracting at times, especially with some of their tracks through a good majority of their albums.Definitely not something I’d put on to test a system or late night listening. On the oth... | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 vs Triangle Borea BR08 The rational of quality over quantity combined with choosing based on which you’d miss most is sound. I think if we all followed this thought process we’d all make better decisions in this hobby.Sierra’s with its upgrade options are hard to ignore... | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 vs Triangle Borea BR08 Your impression of the Sierra 1s being easy to listen to reminded me of why I enjoyed this speaker so much. When I had them I remember listening for hours without any listener fatigue. They were constantly playing in the background on the weekends... | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 vs Triangle Borea BR08 Never heard the Triangles but had the Ascends which I recall being smooth, non-fatiguing, while providing pretty good imaging. Sometimes I wish I never sold them. Friendly owner, great company, too.I can’t imagine you’ll have any issues filling yo... | |
| Subwoofer Suggestion What about HSU subwoofers? Reading the fine print on their webpage they ship outside of the US and take PayPal and wire transfer (etc.), but some coordination needs to be done before the purchase by contacting them directly. If under $1500 you cou... | |
| Recommendations for Blu-ray Player Blueray players seem to be few and far between these days. Like the previous responses, I don’t think there’s anything on the market that would be a blueray player AND have the Amazon UHD app/capability with a coax out. I was thinking you could ut... | |
| Recommendations on a digital system OP mentioned (x2) of having a Sirius lifetime membership. My take is that he’s pretty serious about Sirius.If such is the case why not the Denon DNP-800NE at $600? From the literature, he would be able to stream Sirius using Denon’s HEOS app from ... | |
| Canare 4S11 Good information from Jeffrey.Stereo - maybe I missed it, but did you go through Blue Jeans for the 4S11? | |
| Canare 4S11 I actually just put these Canare’s back into my system due to the previous cables sounding a little too thin and a bit bright for my lively room. They may not have the extended top end, but that’s actually what I’m trying to get away from. Full an... | |
| What is the name of your system? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. | |
| Nice to see the younger generation in the hobby...... Robelvick - Car audio is definitely a good inlet to more serious home audio. Spent many accumulated hours with the car running in the driveway just to finish a song in newly (but poorly) installed Boston Acoustic speakers. The prices drive many aw... | |
| Nice to see the younger generation in the hobby...... I’d be curious to know how many people on Audiogon are under 40. I’m 38 - right between Generation X and the Millennial generation. Portability (Walkman, discman, iPods) and now accessibility (Spotify to Tidal) have been the inlet for many near my... | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers Decware Zen and Omega Super 3 XRS will put you right around 2k. Synergy is reportedly pretty good per the Omega thread on Audio Circle. I was leaning toward this direction before taking up a small PP instead of a SET. |
