My ears are ready to retire!
"down sizing my home"Ā Does this mean from a 10x16 listening room to a 10x16 studio apartment?Ā My divorce made that happen to me. Looking at the system in your profile.Ā Ā Appears to be a good system. I would keep it.Ā All paid for!Ā Make them work in the new space.Ā Trim down by selling the vinyl reproduction components and the Magnepans.Ā Keep the Digital stuff, Intergrated amp and Fynes. Sorry to tell you "Once an Audiophile, Always an Audiophile".Ā Can't make your ears "retire". I thought I could get by with the FM off my smartphone and my computer speakers to listen to NPR. Talk radio!Ā Nope.Ā I thought I could get by with an old Luxman intergrated, B&W bookshelf speakers and my dvd player to play cds.Ā Nope. I found there are limits to what my Ears will accept of lowering my audio standards.Ā I had to spends more than I wanted to compromisingly satisfy it.Ā Ā You already have that system.Ā Make it work.Ā And be okay with the compromises.Ā It still will be a darn good system. |

I agree with cakyol A āLoudnessā fletcher munson automatic filter boosting bass and highs progressively only at low volumes would be a great feature to have, for any ears actually. For me, at low volumes, it preserves involvement with the music. Most modern equipment, say that very interesting McIntosh unit, other choices, do not incorporate āloudnessā. Chase RLC-1 Remote Line Controller has āloudnessā built-in It would not work with modern wireless, however any source via RCA cables could go to it first just for itās automatic loudness feature, then to your system, whatever you buy, IF it has an RCA input option This one is sold, but it shows it well https://reverb.com/item/12411621-chase-rlc-1-remote-line-controller They pop up on eBay, none listed now, it can easily be added later if one shows up. |
