| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment @ditusa Yeah I saw the guy's posts and thought maybe best to ignore them. But, given that so many people follow audiogon discussions, I think it will be a disservice to not address it for the sake of future victims. First, I find it disingenuous ... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment @jasonnewell Thank you for sharing your experience. Although, your underlying causes are a bit different than mine, it is still very relevant, especially for us audiophiles. Your case is actually what I and my doctor was hoping for initially. Sou... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment Unfortunately, it seems that hearing aids are off the table given my poor numbers. No too keen on CORS, BAHA, or cochlear implants. Looks like I'll be listening from one ear for now. I will reach out to a few neurologists at the UT Southwestern b... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment Folks, I've read everyone's responses twice now. I'm sorry that I might not be able to respond and thank each one of you individually, but please know that I'm incredibly grateful. | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment @sameyers1 Thank you for your detailed and well thought out response. I really appreciate it. When I first read your post, I was so hopeful that HAs like Widex might be able to improve my situation. I understand it would never be like listening na... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment @macg19 Thank you for the kind words. I did see another ENT and audiologist a few days ago. Although, he doesn't think anything can be done at this point -- the cells are dead and most likely scar tissue is being formed as I type this, I still con... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment @clarossa Thank you for sharing your experience. I tried to listen to some music last night but it was an extremely sad and disappointing experience to be honest. No soundstage on the left side, basically left speaker doesn't exist. No imaging or ... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment I honestly don’t understand audigon’s rules. I made a post last night and they removed it on grounds that it was offensive. I used the s. h. i. t. word but it was in a completely non-offensive context. I have seen worse posts that never get remo... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment I’m truly grateful for all the support and advice shared in this thread. I may not be able to reply to everyone individually, but please know I’ve read every post and learned a lot from the collective experience here. To be honest, I’m still a bi... | |
| I haven't been this excited in a while! @dhite71 Congrats on acquiring a Harbeth speaker. As you know I owned the Harbeth 40.2 model which I regrettably sold last year. Prior to owning the 40.2, I briefly auditioned the 40.1 at a friend's place. The 40.1 was a little too warm and rolled... | |
| Alternative to my P3ESR Selling my P3esr’s was one of the few times I’ve regretted selling my gear. It’s hard to describe but there’s something special about the sound these little guys produce. My suggestion is to buy a beefy SS amp. The P3esr’s will scale further. | |
| Amplifier for Volti Lucerna Speakers You want tube like warmth and organic sound but with better dynamics and control — Accuphase! | |
| 2026 Audio System Wish List Time! I will be saving up for an Accuphase preamp. At this rate, I would have saved enough by 2030 to buy one. | |
| Office stereo My suggestion is to settle on the speaker choice first and then select a suitable amp. IME, it'll be hard to find something better than the Harbeth P3er for that room size. Their sealed cabinets make it easy to place them near wall boundaries. A H... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice Congrats, @milpai As I mentioned to you earlier, give your A48S at least 100 hours, preferably more, before making any comparisons or conclusions. As Lalit says, the gap between your Parasound and A48 will widen dramatically. That I have no doub... |
