    The Post-Modern Audiophile

    I think you look at it a little to black and white, don't you think. My entire point of this is, listen to it yourself and then make a conclusion... And again, the only reason I mentioned my boss being a Jew was because they have their day of rest on a saturday and most people don't believe...

    The Post-Modern Audiophile

    Thank you for the apology, but that response was aimed at the post before you. I know this is a hard fought battle between believers and non-believers but that was not the point of my response. I was trying to open up some perspective with the OP since he was writing stuff that gave me goose...

    The Post-Modern Audiophile

    It seems someone got out of the wrong side of bed this morning. I was trying to get my point across with some satire mixed into it, unfortunately that just went way over your head. My boss is a Jew, since they have shops open on sunday I had to work there. Not being rascist here, just...

    The Post-Modern Audiophile

    No difference in dac's? Cables don't matter that much? (more expensive doesn't mean better) I think I must go to a doctor then since I hear differences Or maybe a psychiatrist as some of you may think. Just to give you an example of my working day. (and yes I work on sunday, my boss is a Jew...

    One shop said PM6005 cannot drive CM1

    Get the 685S2 now. The CM isn't in the same league anymore since the refresh. The CM series will be replaced this year.

    upgrading my beats mixr - choosing between 3 pairs

    When you want bass definitely don't forget HD25 II or amperior (the one I have) The HD 25 II is a rock god and the amperior is the successor of this model but some don't think it's justified to pay extra. I did it because I could get it cheaper at my job. The bass is something that imho no...

    Bought a new Dac but not what i expected.

    Optical out is the worst of the digital connections, most of the time the sound becomes smoother but detail suffers. USB or coaxial would be the better way to go. Just tested this myself with optical from my Dune mediaplayer and afterwards USB straight from the pc to the dac. In my opinion the...

    New hi-fi set up not happy with sound...

    Each speaker cable will go to a certain side, the amplifier describes it as speaker L and R. R goes to the speaker when sitting in front of the speakers on your right and the other one left obviously. You will connect each cable either to the bottom part of the terminal or only the upper part...

    Sonos connect users do you use a DAC and if so which?

    It will improve performance of the connect but will only allow 16/44.1 playback. If you want to play higher resolution files Sonos has competition now, Bluesound Node. I work in an audiostore and it works sweet. It has an excellent dac onboard and basically can do anything what a connect does...

    List of amps with tone and balance control

    Compared quality wise I'm not a Luxman fan at all. The Accuphase's are on a whole other level when it comes to reliabilty and build quality. I just had to give a new Luxman amp in repair (at the shop where I work) only weeks after being bought. They don't build them anymore like they used to.

    List of amps with tone and balance control

    Just inquiring, so you're looking for a budget amp then since most of the higher-end stuff doesn't have these controls. One of the higher-end ones that does is Accuphase but that might easily overshoot your budget... But there will be more models for sure that will have these controls, only...

    TheDark Side

    If you want a receiver that can grasp more musical presentations with two-channel playback I would look into 4 brands only. Arcam, Primare, NAD, Anthem. They don't have the full-option possibilities like Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, Onkyo, Pioneer and so on (Ok, maybe the LX series still applies) but...

    Looking to boost BASS

    Little ridiculous to just post a headline and be disappointed afterwards. If he would of taken the effort to give more information he wouldn't of gotten this behaviour.
