| You know you have audiophile system when... @mceljo thanks for the info--i've been using AQ's Red River IC's for Pre to DAC--which appear to be almost the same cost as Sydney -- i'll go to AQ's site to see what the differences are. My amp came with a 10 awg PC so i haven't changed that out... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... that's probably a fair statement for many audiophiles--but hopefully their goal would be to make music sound, well, more musical ? It's certainly why i focus almost exclusively on live recordings these days and i'm pretty satisfied with the sound... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... Now you've got me curious about the cables--interconnect or speaker and brand? My feeling that i had achieved an "audiophile system" was when i invested enough to have constant "wow" moments of "they are here" or "i am there" on live recordings (... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... too bad for you since jackhifiguy and others did not respond to the question which was how you know if you have an audiophile system, not whether you're an audiophile or the definition thereof. I liked mikeydee's answer best for humor or maybe ar... | |
| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? teoaudio hit the nail on the head---many, many options. Thorens, Linn both great--when i got back into vinyl i went with a Lenco as my old TT was a Garrard and i wanted an idler arm design--now that i have the Lenco i think their design is better... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? It only takes one person to turn it into one and he's on full display here. However, many/most of the regular posters are not like that and there is a lot of knowledge and experience shared here. I'm surprised the moderators didn't ban the jerk ... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Furthermore, you have completely contradicted what you say is the way you judge audio components--you claim by "listening"---yeet you have never heard Mahgister's system so you are judging solely on looks alone--and apparently have passed that tra... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @insoc -- Thank you for getting this thread back on track--what a derailment! OP - whether you feel like you insulted mahgister or not, as a former judge i would have to rule that you did simply by telling him he needed to get rid of many things ... | |
| Turn off or leave on? My Aesthetix gear specifically instructs to turn off when not in use--i presume to preserve tube life. I'm curious whether other manufacturers give instructions on this as well ? If they don't i would contact them and ask them. | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. @waytoomuchstuff --that video clip was right on point and helped me explain my audio obsession to my wife who is a wine nut. @jackhifiguy Whether or not you are a troll, someone pointed out that you haven't really been here long enough to make ju... | |
| The magic of outdoor listening Living in the AZ desert it's amazing how far sound carries--i can hear someone blasting music over a mile away so i figure they can hear me too--but the OP s right about how good music can sound outdoors where standing waves are gone--the good thi... | |
| Equipment Location at First Reflection Point Mic insertion might be tricky ! | |
| Equipment Location at First Reflection Point If i knew how to do that i would use it on my wife 😀 | |
| Equipment Location at First Reflection Point @lowrider57 Very good question--actually it sounds great and i'm wondering if i'm chasing/inventing a problem that isn't there; the only way to know though would be to move the rack, place absorption and listen--not really practical b/c i have n... | |
| GIK alternatives No worries, Glenn--but this is not a bass trap--just a 4" absorption panel. And sorry about calling you "GKI". Best wishes on getting all sorted out... |
