Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Rule number one: we must know the real working potential of what we already own before changing it..... Brilliant! | |
Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Hey OP - we are all allowed to have the room that we like. Please don't listen to the criticism. I myself have tried to craft my area into a combo of the bridge of the Enterprise (TNG), a sports bar, and an Amsterdam Coffee Shop. They're right o... | |
Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? That’s a cool room! I’m working on something similar, and yeah it will also break a lot of acoustic room treatment rules. Pretty much everything has been said, but I’ll add my 40 years of experience here:(1) At the level of gear you have, a "remar... | |

Why so many angry audiophiles? I'm not at all angry! Oh yeah, I'm not an audiophile.....Correlation. | |
What did your system look like 30 years ago? Wow, you people were a heck of a lot better off than I was in 1981 - I was 24, living in my first apartment in Chicago, $385/month, and saving up for law school:Onkyo TX-15 Stereo ReceiverBiamp 12-channel PA Mixer through which all sources were ro... | |
Music bleeding at zero volume There was a Partridge Family episode where Chris could hear AM radio through a loose filling in his tooth and it kept throwing off his rhythm and he couldn't drum until they got him to a dentist. | |
Are there speakers with cloth/soft enclosures instead of wood? Maggies! | |
Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? My one question is how were you able to daisy chain cable and anti-cable without them annihilating each other? This is funny! Sorry to quote you twice in one day...I'm not stalking. +1 that balanced interconnects are the solution here. Given... | |
So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but Its still ruining the sound merely having the thing in the same room. With due respect, I suggest that musical enjoyment is not ruined by an AVR but rather by this type of attitude.Besides, it's pretty easy. There are great preamps with HT bypa... | |
Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? Such agendas! You have a listener using an AVR as a preamp asking for the obvious upgrade path and people are suggesting network tweaks, cable upgrades, their favorite DACs. Come on people! The obvious upgrade is a preamp, as the sane posters have... | |
Audio tax write-off Have one of your minor children set up a 501(c)(3) charity and purchase the equipment, then lease that equipment. Elect to be taxed like a C Corp, or better yet set up an S Corp with a management contract for your LLC and pay management fees to t... | |
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store (1) The dealer is free to charge whatever he would like. But customers are also free to vote with their wallets. (2) I view demos as a cost of doing business. Car dealers have to let people take test drives. As a lawyer, I have to spend at least... | |
Recommendations for fast sounding cables I'd like a recommendation for cables that make Johnny Cash sound like Hip-Hop. Just can't get there. Point being, I can see cables affecting tone. But the speed of light is what it is. The closest you could get would be whatever frequency rang... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Such a bizarre thread on an ever increasingly bizarre forum site. "Audiogon...where people come to fight about audio."Please, if you want to look at the OP's question for just a second, the real question is the definition of "audiophile" not the d... |
