MQA is Legit!
In my blind comparisons of a number of songs via Tidal using a PS Audio DSJ, Hegel H300 & Wilson Sabrina speakers I either preferred the CD files (75%) or heard no difference (25%).Based on listening I see no benefits to using MQA so I will be... 
Wilsons are the best speakers in the world
It should be obvious that they use them because they believe Wilson speakers will result in their equipment sounding its best. Since “many” manufacturers use them, clearly many people share this belief. If you like different speakers better, that’... 
which would you buy?
I would choose the Kef Q900s. I've owned the R700 and was surprised at how good the Q900 sounded compared to the R series speakers given the price difference. I have heard most of the Goldenear Triton speakers and haven't liked them as well as the... 
Headphones for Hearing Aids
The automatic adjustments of most hearing aids can be disabled in a program designed specifically for listening to music. It could make a big difference. In any case, I wish you luck. 
Headphones for Hearing Aids
Most hearing aids have the option of using different programs for different listening situations. You typically access the programs using a button on the hearing aids or with a remote. If yours have this option, ask your audiologist to setup a pro... 
Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef
I ended up saving up for a few months and purchased the Sonus Faber Olympica IIs. They were the speakers that I heard initially that got my attention and I couldn't be happier with them. I didn't get a chance to hear the Daedalus prior to purchasi... 
Tube amplifier to power Sonus Faber speakers?
I use the Audio Research VSi60 (50wpc) tube amp with my Olympica II speakers and find it to be an excellent match. I typically listen with the volume between 30-40% of full on and it can play quite loudly if I turn it up higher. The Olympica III i... 
Sonus Faber Olympica II or III?
Thank you for the responses. I've got a pair of Kef LS50s in my second system, so I want to get something larger for my main one to have variety. But, it sounds like the Olympica IIs should work great in my listening space. I really appreciate you... 
Recommend me Bookshelf for Office
I've had both the Kef R300 and the Kef LS50 in my office system without a sub. My room is small at 11W x 12.5L x 8H and the amp I am using puts our 135 watts into 8 ohms.I ended up keeping the LS50. I think that in part it was due to the speakers ... 
Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef
Thanks everyone for your responses. They are a big help. I'll work on finding a way to hear some Daedalus when I can and go from there. 
Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef
Thanks for the suggestions Drubin. I have looked at the Revel a bit, but wasn't sure if they were much different from the Kef. I will see if I can find an opportunity to demo those at as well as the Dynaudio Focus.Mtrot, I think you're probably ri... 
Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef
I think that the Kefs are a good quality speaker overall. I think they don't really have any glaring weaknesses, but that being said, I don't feel as deep a connection with the music through them as I have experienced with some other systems. I li... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
The best speakers I've ever heard are the Sonus Faber Aida. I have heard a couple pairs of speakers that are significantly more expensive that I didn't enjoy as much, although the Aida is certainly up there in price. The Aidas seemed to me to have... 
Cartridge Advice for 1970s Kenwood TT
Thank you for the input. I'm doing some research on the models suggested, and I think I'm leaning towards the Shure M97xe. It seems to have a lot of fans. I like the reviews of the 2M red as well, but it doesn't look as if it will fit on the remov...
