| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. @ laoman I helped a friend curate one of the best sounding systems I’ve heard in real life (ie in a home not in a show room or audio show) for $3k. Okay, I'll bite. What is it? | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. It is about passion for the gear, not price. The fallout from my assault on the low end has resulted in a garage full of boomboxes and mini-systems. As a self-proclaimed transport junkie, a high-end CD system starts at about 2K for the transport... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? @mapman If they fit your room and budget, kef ls60s and done. Better than Ohm? They must be something special. | |
| Help: Devore O/96 Integrated Amp + DAC suggestion aavik u-150 | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Run. Run as fast as you can and don't look back. | |
| How do you add color? @mahler123 Nothing snarky about asking something. I am sure many people will take exception with my opinion but carrying on. . . Technically, a 10" driver makes a lousy midrange. It has bad dispersion and moves too slow. So it does more of th... | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Just ordered this for work. Can’t wait to take this baby out for a spin. Single driver, good coherence for nearfield listening. Audiophile doesn’t always have to be relevant to price. It’s passion about getting the right presentation that works we... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @mahgister You cannot buy knowledge and we always pay for ignorance... Good advise and worth repeating. Have you considered a career in hi-end audio? | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Arto Lindsay "Noon Chill" CD. Some really strange music. Enough to make you wonder about his mental health. | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! @ghdprentice I like your threads and posts too. Cheers :) | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! @milpai You do have a pneumonia day! Hey, you are right: World Pneumonia Day—November 12—is a yearly reminder that pneumonia can strike anywhere and anytime, and is a serious, potentially life-threatening lung infection. Pneumonia is primaril... | |
| How do you add color? To clarify my post, I understand what you mean about adding color. But what I am suggesting is components which allow the color to pass through. To be dramatic, my Delta Sigma DAC is like this blinding bright white light putting a laser beam throu... | |
| How do you add color? DeVore speakers are described as colorful but not colored. I would agree with that statement. Component-wise, I do it with the DAC and pre-amp. | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! Me neither. While we are celebrating diseases how about happy pneumonia day? After all, it is the old man’s friend. Finally, I am the first responder to a new thread. Boy does it feel good to be #1 at something. | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of @frankmc195 Anyone have any idea how long ago Hifi manufacturers discovered we (audiophiles) will pay almost anything chasing our perfect sound? Yes, I do. |
