| How long for an HDMI cable to break in. First I let the cable settle in...get comfortable in it’s new setting. Then I introduce it to the family. Only then do I actually plug it in. | |
| End Game(ish) Speakers - Help Deciding After spending years swapping out speakers I found my end game speakers a few years ago when I got the Vandersteen Quatro CT. They have a newer version now that would work with your integrated amp. It's the Quatro CT EVO. It is about $23000 US bu... | |
| Your favorite obscure song While many may argue that virtually all of Tom Waits songs are obscure. Two of my favorite gems are "Frank's Wild Years" and "What's he building in there?". | |
| Audio Research S-200 The amps have been out now for nearly two months. Has anyone had a chance to hear them? | |
| WHO IS ATTENDING SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST SWAF IN DALLAS THIS WEEKEND! I was there on Friday. Didn't get a chance to meet you but I really enjoyed the music in your room. | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research I attended the Southwest Audiofest in Dallas this weekend and visited the Audio Research room. They are releasing some new products in a couple of months. I don't recall all of them but there will be two solid state amps, a couple of tube amps a... | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? Wow, what a concept!! Actually listen to and enjoy music based upon what it sounds like rather than what it is. | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? My Tidal account still has MQA files. Some still sound good. Some not so good. Just like with every other format. I will not miss them when they go, neither will I dance on their grave. | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I agree with you Tomstruck. The Vandersteen Quatro CT. I spent years owning and auditioning speakers and always found myself wanting for something different. That all stopped with the Quatros. | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) I second the recommendation for the Bryston CD-3. Absolutely best player I have ever owned. Yes, a bit pricey but if you love to listen to CDs don't skimp. Streaming has eclipsed my CD playing significantly so the CD-3 gets little use nowadays ... | |
| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 Thank you all for your responses. Just to add a bit of diversion to the discussion, has anyone compared the Simaudio Moon amps to Ayre? I am also considering the Ayre VX-Twenty power amp. It is similar in price and power to the Sim 760a. | |
| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 Anyone listen to or own the Simaudio Moon 760A? How does it compare to the 860 or the M400? I know it has less power than either the M400 or the 860 but I think it would be sufficient for my Vandersteen Quatros. I doubt if I want to spend the m... | |
| KEF-LS50 with REL T-Zero? Anyone? Exactly... | |
| KEF-LS50 with REL T-Zero? Anyone? I ended up with the REL-T7i. I also was confused with all the options regarding the settings. If you go to KEF they recommend running the sub at highest volume level and highest crossover setting and use the KEF DSP app to control the sub. I ta... | |
| KEF-LS50 with REL T-Zero? Anyone? I've been listening to the KEF LS50Ws for about a day now....with and without the REL T5i. They are pretty amazing. Very similar to the LS50 but tunable to my room. Something about those built in powerful amps that seems to focus and allow the ... |
