audiophile

Hey, it’s me again. Just started to get back on the hunt for a receiver/and or amp. I’m very new to turntables and I’m just looking for something to help give quality sound. I normally listen to rock so I do like good bass, but my system will be set up in my small room, haha. I don’t mind if...

Are there any Accuphase owners who can share (if applicable) their experience with the P-300 line of power amps? Any big sonic differences between the original P-300, the P-300V and the ones in between?

Hey there! I’m fairly new to (but still not too versed with) the world of Hifi, yet I’m slowly building my system. So far I’ve purchased a used Russco Fidelity Pro phono preamp that I don’t know much about except that it was designed for broadcast and has very low noise, apparently a decent fit...

I just found this cool website that reviews high end audio. Take a look for yourself and give them a try. I am not promoting the site, I am just giving my opinion on this find! Stereo Times

I struggle with deciding which compact, powered remote speakers to get. I was hoping to get some advice here. The remote speaker pair will replace four Minimus 7s far away from the mains and the sub, and elevated, on the other end of the same large, open space (high ceiling). They’ll be...

I’ve heard this about speakers many times and I’m wondering what the reasoning is behind it. Is it about flatness of frequency response? Colouration? Performance on paper? Let me know your thoughts on what makes a speaker audiophile quality!

Hi, could you tell me which is the better turntable, the Akai AP-206 or the Technics SL-D21 and why? Thanks

Hi y'all, Firstly, sorry to bring out this old question again, but recently I just received this inquiry from my friend who is also on his way to digital streaming though, as we were discuss whether a network switch would help or not like everyone else, he sorta struck me with this, " Based on...

Hi guys, It's just sorta a general wondering, so recently I've been thinking about purchasing a NAS for audio storage and stuff, I used to just simply store music with USB, but I read some articles about NAS, it seems to me that most audiophiles possess one to cooperate with their Hi-Fi gear at...

Hi all, Have you wondered why there are some many types of digital audio transfer benchmarks? Anyways, so it's said that AES/EBU(AES3) is the the most common alternative to the S/PDIF, and typically used to transmit PCM and Dolby Digital 5.1, the cable is formed by 110 ohm shielded twisted...

Hello guys, So after some some struggles between spending time in optimizing my PC audio functionalities and adopting a dedicated music streamer, I opted for the second one. I purchased the Munich M1T by Silent Angel, given it's good reviews in UK and Germany and Switzerland, I thought it...

It doesn't play, the buttons and lights are a bit finicky, yet there is nothing visibly wrong internally as far as I can tell. Fast forward and reverse sometimes work, but most of the time they doesn't. What's going on? Has anyone had any experience with this? Rotel RD-870 issues - YouTube by...

Recently, I made a video about audio and philosophy. This was originally presented last month, at the 2021 Society for Philosophy of Technology conference. The video was then featured on Paul McGowan’s blog -- huge readership. Today Hans Beekhuyzen has done a video linking to mine and then...

Are these any good? https://www.fluance.com/rca-audio-cable-ca03 If not, can someone link me to a good, reasonably priced cable I can solder into my turntable?

Hello all! OK, here's the low down on me. I was doing some research on whether or not to fix our replace my old JBL Control Monitor loudspeakers (bought new back in '86 for $500, so I guess another question would be how much is that in today's money, huh?) and found that this site seemed to...

hi Guys, I want your thoughts on whether pairing the bose 1800 amplifier and Alon IV would be a wise idea or its a recipe for disaster. I have an Alon IV and i am being offered a bose 1800 for virtually nothing and looking at the specs of the Amp , i am wondering if its safe for the...

Hi, I am currently working on a project for my senior thesis in mathematics. I have loved audio since I was a teenager, I got into designing subwoofer enclosures, participating in SPL car audio competitions, which led me to pursuing a degree in electrical engineering. This last year I decided...

Hi. I have a real passion about sound quality that has manifested itself into an SQ car project and also an SQ home cinema system project. My dad recently asked me if I could find him a nice CD player with the emphasis being sound quality and ideally from the timeline of 1980 - 1994. At the...

Hiya. I picked these interesting little speakers up off the Facebook Marketplace a few days ago for $20 for be pair. I figured why not since I need inexpensive speakers for the analog setup I’m bringing with me to college. I’m well aware that in terms of hi-fi or audiophile Sound, Akai wasn’t...

Excellent video from one of the only audio personalities I can stomach. The points about R&B, techno, and rap are especially salient...

Hello everyone, it's my first post here on this forum, i have a pair of Braun L-910 beauties and I'm looking for a good power amp to go with them. I currently have a Bozak mixer as a pre-amp

I've found myself writing of other various AKers (and thinking the same about many of you) that this specific member is a more demanding listener than I am. Compared to some of you I'm just a piker. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to speakers. Not that picky at all. Of course, every...

Hi AK - I am looking to sell a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB turntable. Its brand new and still under manufacturers warranty. It was a gift and I can't return it - so how much should I expect to get? Hoping for a pretty quick sale

So, I was cruising a reputable high-end audio dealer website this morning and I run across the Synergistic Research "Atmosphere" and "ATM" products. It looks like a monolithic tower you place in the middle of your listening room. The claim is that there is more natural and man-made RF (Radio...
