| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. @deep_333 If your current system is your final audio destination kudos. What is offensive is claiming anyone that has or desires an audio system of better build and sound quality cares less about music and more about gear? That might get the aw... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. @waytoomuchstuff +1 My pet peeve is when one obsesses over the law of diminishing returns. IMO this does not exist if one considers themselves an Audiophile. Where did this simple minded formula come to fruition... $20k amp must sound 10x bet... | |

| Speaker recommendation £2-10k range Not sure what sound your after but IMO the Acoustic Energy AE 520 is the most versatile/refined speaker around $5k new I know of. Balance is it’s strong point does not call attention to any frequency point. Could it be boring to you? With any audi... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? @shebuskij The worst possible advice! A totally outdated perspective. Speakers are the most flawed component, despite this fact if the electronics and source are not up to the level of the speakers you have a mess on your hands. This is where t... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Understand the recordings sound quality of either an analog or digital recording dictates the audio systems potential. Don’t believe loudspeakers are the most important system component, everything matters. A dedicated 20 amp power line or 2 depen... | |
| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression This is main reason why I rarely purchase mass produced new vinyl. Sound Quality is the main purpose for owning HEA! The best approach is go to a thrift store and purchase everything that appears interesting from the last 25 years on CD. You will ... | |

| How do you add color? @mapman Why post just to mock the thread? Some of us enjoy nitpicking Audiophile jargon. Several of you have expanded on my previous post with very interesting commentary. IMO some also confuse engagement with coloration. A speaker that perfectly... | |
| speakers for small room I heard the KEF Reference 1 Meta at Axpona with 2 subwoofers and it lacked engagement. I asked to hear them with subwoofers off and the sound was lethargic. Yes, tough to completely judge a speaker within 15 minutes at a show but it does raise the... | |
| speakers for small room I have a similar situation with a 12.5 x 13.5 living room with an adjacent 80% open 4 x 13.5 hallway that contains my record storage. IMO a modest sized floor stander minus a sub(space/continuity issues) will give the best results. Hopefully Sonus... |
