| Audiophile Equipment This post brought up this memory…My friends used to tease me about the fact that my nakamichi dragon car cassette player and system in my car was worth more than the car…The start of a long and continuing journey. | |
| Dan D'Agostino Momentum I didn't pay anywhere near 75k for mine having gotten a fair deal on a demo. I am very happy with its sound. I can't compare it to the Burmeister because I couldn't demo/hear that but what i hear is pretty magical. I didn't buy it because my pers... | |
| Need Amp Advice from the Collective I second boxcarmans advice. You have a nice sized room that will let them show/display what that speaker (3.7) can do. You will need power but the Bryston might do the trick with that speaker too | |
| Replacing Roon - What Should I get? I was having occasional hiccups while using Roon with my desktop acting as the core so I went with the sonic transporter also mentioned previously. It has been very stable. It’s about half the price of the newer Roon nucleus. FWIW I have it hooked... | |
| Anyone else prefer listening to their system more than a concert? Fun discussion-Echoing some of the responses here, I don't think I am ready to give up live music. I am lucky enough to have a great system but it still can't match the intimacy and connection between a band playing in a smaller venue and its audi... | |
| Apologies to Norah Jones, I needed more bass! Check out her “til we meet again” album. It’s.a great album and will test your system. Having seen her a number of times live it really does a splendid job of taking you to the venue. You should listen to it reasonably loud to get that essence | |

| Sonus Faber Maxima Amator without the fancy other possibilities Magnepan 3.7i with subwoofers could fit the bill used Revel Ultima Salon | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research I had 3.7’s a few years ago. As has been referenced I heard them at the dealers paired with ARC and they sounded great. That was indeed a classic pairing. I bought them but I couldn’t afford the ARC at the time so I went with classe integrated tha... | |
| Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why? I have listened to these a number of times and like them. I have a friend who bought them and loves them. He did add a few Rel subs which definitely helped. They sound better in his room than they did in the dealer's showroom (what a surprise). Fo... | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. Lots of good suggestions here but I second gdprentice. I have gone the route of selling large collections of albums and cds and getting a good streamer no regrets You obviously love having a large selection of music and choices. You will get t... | |
| Best single volume guide to classical music Funny that you pose this question as I am looking at what I have been using as I read your post. In any event you may want to check out Penguin Guide to the 1000 Best Classical recordings. What I have is a 2011 version so perhaps there is a newer... | |

| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore I as well have had to go that journey. Too many missed words my partner talking about sounds from my speakers like brushes or cymbals I wasn’t hearing Testing showed a deficit at around 8 k if I recall. i ended up getting Phillips aids at Cost... | |
| New Pass Labs Go To Indeed, Marc was a special breed. I called him about 10 years ago to discuss amplifiers and we decided that an integrated 250 would be a good choice for me. Without a credit card, or identification he sent me the app to try for 30 days telling m... |
