| Audiophile virtues No, I can feel in every fibre in my being snilf was not being disingenuous. The nature of integrity & truth & how it intersects with our search for it in music, through its reproduction & how we examine this path through hearful analys... | |
| $39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer? It needs to be remembered what this is, is the CD12 technology completely upgraded to the nth degree. There were 2 major revisions of it over a no. of years, the mk2 giving it substantially more dynamics & more & mk3 bringing it to an ent... | |

| Audiophile virtues It's bad jounalism seeking to camoflage that with all the vogor in the world - by proclaiming it's a textbook (with all the dryness, stolidness & intentionally banal aspects not just firmly intact but celebrated as worthy in & of themselve... | |
| Roon for high end audio? This will really open your eyes on how to maximize sound quality from Roon. This dealer is not alone in providing verified upgrades commonly available, but their video spells it out nicely >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaDN7lw6sMU | |

| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers I own Focal Utopia loudspeakers. If you're really looking to get much more of the best out of them, doing a parts upgrade in the xover is HIGHLY recommended. They may have an electrolytic as mine did that's well worth replacing but very high end... | |
| All substantive R&D has ended at YG Acoustics? This is excellent news. The co. they're working with has announced they're working on new driver technologies which sounds promising. I'd like to see the midranges upgraded at least to the extent they did with their billetdome tweeters. I've never... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes Anything claiming to use the principles of Quantum Physics to make their products better. Some cable manufacturers in particular but other dubious products a well. The experiments involved to show how QP interacts in the non quantum realm is so e... | |
| Do you care about car audio? It's sad to see some answerers here (by no means all) who otherwise regard themselves as audiophiles proclaiming systems the car came with are high quality. The incredible amount of DSP used that F's up & homogenizes the sound FAR more then a... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Never especially understood the Wilson following - at least the current line. Fabulous bass on many I get that, but nothing at all special about their silk dome. If you want a silk dome that badly, YG does some genuinely interesting things with t... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? There are verifiable statistics to guide us. In Jan. 2021 vinyl album sales were 27% of all record sales. It's only gone up since. We're all audiophiles on this forum so we don't care about the invented "Album-equivalent unit" term marketers use t... | |
| The Absurdity of it All This is THE answer (seriously): Physical hearing parameters of a person that a machine can measure - tell you next to nothing of importance. It's discernment which is all. The ability to ascertain nuance that younger minds & personalities hav... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Whatever you choose to power them optimizing the internals of the speakers will increase the apparent sound quality by as much a 50%. Putting in the best polypropylene capacitors (top Wimas are recommended) & Vishay resistors will do wonders. ... |
