| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? lots of silly banter about the words here, as i read the responses... i think what @decooney is asking about is whether newer, higher end speakers tend to portray the sound of the music they are playing differently than older top-line speakers...... | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 op best you describe, best you can, what you want to improve sonically over your ushers parasound jc1’s will drive pretty much anything well so that isn’t a screen for what speakers will work well for you short of you finding the best way possi... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile the fallacy expressed by some, like the comment above, is that many/most experienced, dedicated folks here with money, spending fairly decent money on this pursuit are doing it stupidly, and for all the wrong reasons (bling, self aggrandisement, i... | |

| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass @jsbelieve to be honest i really don’t care enough about your plight to be upset in the least i am just amused that someone would show indigation, negativity, and a foul attitude to people trying to help, after having asked for it -- thus my la... | |
| Dark Horse DAC op the doge is old news, was dac of the month a few years back sonically it is quite good sounding but despite all the tubes in the output section, the output stage and level was relatively weak in my experience and presented some background noi... | |

| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass @gdnrbob- Nothing in the system is lacking. ...well, except the bass love it when a new guy comes here, asks for help, expresses frustration on a problem then pisses on others’ attempts to help, says he knows all about the basics (but still h... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… Until they aren't. Tube amplifiers with output transformers, regardless of how good they are wound are not as transparent as their OTL or direct drive counterparts (given a level playing field). I've have all three design types and it's pretty cl... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile @grislybutter Once again I have to ask, "How hard is it for you to wake up every morning?" Your self flagellation is laughable. There are several problems with your thinking process, the first being is it is none of your business what other peopl... | |
| Galion TS120 seems to me the answer to all this nonsense and brain damage is simply this... ... but then again, i get it, some folks will contort themselves into pretzels and jump through rings of fire to save a few bucks | |
