| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice +1 to Stringreen's suggestion. A good way to find out if the system ahead of the speakers is at fault. | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice I second the recommendation to try the Merrill amps. They have other models at lower price points than the Veritas. And there are several other Hypex Ncore-based amps out there. | |
| max spade width for plastic covered binding posts Those binding posts are driving me (to) bananas.The ones with tabs restrict not only the width of the spade but the position at which you make the connection, and that position is often inconvenient or even impossible. They must have some benefit ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Nice review. I especially appreciate your decision to wait a while before pronouncing judgement. Too many people jump the gun with conclusions in this hobby.Has anyone here tried the passives from Tortuga Audio? I haven't, but they use LDR technol... | |
| Speakers or Amplifier This makes me sad. You just got the Aerial speakers, then changed your amp, then got the Bricasti and now you want to make another change? This soon? I don't know you, Ricredi, but from here it looks like you have a seriously acute case of the aud... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? You're suggesting a critical judgment of audiophiles but not of other hobbies. I doubt that's true. Obviously some audiophiles feel it's constructive and others see issues with it, such that they might frame it as being on a Merry-Go-Round. I'm su... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I share everyone 's excitement and enthusiasm for the outcome and for Rebbi's generous sharing of his journey. Regarding Almarg's comment above, is there an important takeaway for operating tube amps? I've known that tube amps don't like to be ope... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC My advice would be to upgrade the Transport before looking to change Dacs.+1 | |
| The Audio Critic Try to find copies of his magazine and keep them as a reference to be consulted whenever you feel as if you are drowning in BS.I feel like I'm drowning in it right now. | |
| Anyone else own EPI/Epicure "back in the day?" I had EPI 150s around 1973-76 or so. Like Rebbi, I wish I still had them to see how they stack up because they were pretty darn good as I recall. Whatever I "upgraded" to was probably a downgrade. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... By the way, Tvad is a happy Audio Note owner, last I checked with him. | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? We saw Interstellar at an iMax theater last week. Wow -- possibly the greatest cinema experience I've ever had. Not necessarily a great movie, but damn, what a trip on the super big screen. Didn't seem too loud either. | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? Thanks Czarivey. Here in the SF Bay Area, as far as I know, we don't have any premium theaters of that kind. But after I posted my earlier comment, I remembered going to a theater like that in Hollywood a few years ago and being knocked out by the... | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? I'd like to know of some specific theaters that use Meyer or Bryston. I think both of those brands are far too expensive for movie theaters, but would like to be wrong about that. | |
| Stereo power amp for $10k Given the efficiency of the Morels and your low- mid-volume listening, you might also consider a Pass XA30.5 or XA30.8. Would save you some money, too. |
