| Tube preamp options @rmdmoore Ahhhh, WAF enters the picture--i must admit to forgetting about that as my room is a dedicated music room. But maybe you could bring her in on the experiment just to know whether it's the distance from the front wall that causing the la... | |
| To pricey @grislybutter "Facts" about what ? Whether B&W's are worth the expense? There are no facts--only opinion on that one, but if 2/3 of the responders said "yes" then the new "science" would say it's a fact that they are. I don't have time or i... | |
| Tube preamp options @rmdmoore What are your room dimensions from front to back ? Mine is 16' and the front of my speakers (not Vandys but i don't think that's relevant) are 72" from the front wall. I realize you had some issues moving yours with those granite bases... | |
| To pricey @2psyop -- Some of the planet correctly believes that the kind of pseudoscience that liberals apply is what's evil--most people have no idea what science or the scientific method is and the term is slung around like a frisbee. Maybe he meant to s... | |
| Tube preamp options @soix maybe on to something with your speaker distance from front wall--the further from the wall i brought my speakers the more depth was achieved but i'm listening nearfield now and also depends on how big your room is. like @bgross i run an Ae... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Put me in camp of "best thing since sliced bread" , for streaming interface anyway, now even better with ARC capability (you can access Roon anywhere as long as your core is on). Only plays with Tidal and Quobuz though so if you want Amazon or Ap... | |
| Sound quality of Roon OP--There are many confusing statements in the comments to your post--and many off topic responses such as which DAC/streamer to buy or why vinyl is better or worse. Bottom line: Roon was not originally intended to add or subtract from SQ--it wa... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Almost forgot Lynyrd Skynrd's version of JJ Cale's "They Call Me the Breeze" | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Clapton's cover of JJ Cale's "Cocaine"--much more impactful like the drug itself Cream--Crossroads Marcus Mumford--I Was Young When I Left Home--not sure if it was performed outside of the concert for Llewelyn Davis but it's exquisite | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @nkphoto --While I don't listen to a lot of jazz apart from Art Tatum, thanks for pointing us to this piece--I first heard it when i bought a trumpet for my son and a Sketches of Spain CD came with it, but after listening to this version i prefer ... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Several have said the "perfect song" is one you never get tired of hearing Mine: Spanish Moon--Little Feat Asking Around For You--Joe Bonamassa That's How Much I Feel: Ambrosia What? How the Heck did this sneak in here? Going to Californ... | |
| Looking for wider soundstage OP--i echo what others have said, particularly @designsfx and @mijostyn . While we can't see most of the side walls you said the speakers are on the long (22') wall instead of the short (17') wall where they should be. @designsfx asked about putt... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... @simonmoon Agree it's just fine and right in line with what you've said. Broken down into its Latin and Greek roots audiophile simply means a "lover of sound"--doesn't mean " lover of sound equipment"...Although reasonably good equipment is gener... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... @mceljo Totally agree but that really hadn't occurred to me at the time b/c i bought the RR cables used for half price (never unboxed according to seller and i'm reasonably sure that was the case) so it didn't matter to me much--if i were buying A... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... @tuberist --that's my standard as well and i feel like i'm there w/ my system--most of the time--ya never know exactly on amplified instruments b/c live you're hearing them through PA speakers so i use acoustic records to judge. @mceljo thanks fo... |
