| Recommendation Tube Integrated Some very nice recommendations mentioned & here’s another one: Rogers High Fidelity. They’re pricey new around $15-$16K but they have two of their big amps used direct from the factory w/ full lifetime warranties. They’re very well built w/ hi... | |
| How good is good enough? We all know you can get a surprisingly musical sounding system for a few thousand dollars, a really nice set up for $10K, $20K, 30K etc & if chosen correctly, amazing sounding systems for whatever you want to spend w/ not much limit. Doesn... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Mitch2 - see my earlier comment. I was probably lax on updating my Innuos Zenith but when customer support was needed to complete the task, they were right on it!! | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Another thumbs up for Innuos! I’ve had my Zenith Mark III for 2.years & it’s excellent as is their Sense app. I recently tried to do a suggested update & something happened & it froze x& wouldn’t work at all. I emailed their tech s... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity On my experience, the size of the room & the volume you like to listen at have a huge impact on how much power you need for your speakers as well as their sensitivity. If you think about, the word “volume” applies both to the amount of db a sp... | |
| There is none out there...... I second the answer from Baylinor ! My Innuos Zenith Mark III sounds excellent, built very well, great customer service & great app to control it all. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Like many year, I’ve owned & enjoyed many different speakers over a long period of time. Like a few others here, I’m now really enjoying the Volti Audio Rivals. They effortlessly sound more like live music than any other speaker I can afford &... | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? I also suggest you try the Volti Audio Rivals w/ your set up. I owned & enjoyed Avantgardes ( first Unos & then Duos) w/ Art Audio amps for several years & they’re very good in many ways although quite directional, didn't image that we... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. I’ve had mostly good tube equipment over many years w/ some good solid state mixed in between & what I’ve noticed generally is that tube electronics do a better job of giving each instrument or vocal more space & air around it creating a b... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong I think the original Large Advent came out in 1971 & was & still is a good speaker. Stack them, remove the grill cloths , provide plenty of good power & you have a fairly ugly but nice sounding speaker w/ as good bass as probably any s... | |
| Not sure if I have enough oomph. Of course the power requirements for just about any speaker depends upon not only sensitivity but also the type of music you listen to & at what volume level. if you like your music loud n a big room, you’ll use every bit of what you have &... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. JJ Cale’s “After Midnight” w/ his understated, primo guitar work & Skynrd’s version also excellent w/ great horns & piano. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. @loomisjohnson Did Carole King write all those songs you listed?? I knew she’s awesome but if so, that’s truly amazing! | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. Music, like all art forms, is a matter of personal taste & “better /worse” ultimately doesn’t really apply. There are many great, moving songs mentioned. I’ve always thought “These Days” by Jackson Browne to a perfect work of art w/ real mean... | |
| Proac E.B.S Extended Bass Studio 3 I really enjoyed my EBS’s in the mid 80’s w/ a Really good Jadis preamp & Conrad Johnson Premier Four power amp ( 100 watts per side). Some think it may be the best overall amp they ever made. Bass was pretty good but not super deep. Glorious... |
