Audiophiles Get In Here!

[roberth]

Mark Levinson amps, or Krell. B&W speakers, especially the 801 series. Of course, a vacuum sealed turntable, tube preamp...and LOTS of vinyl!

Now you're talking, good gear that stages, provides depth, and sonic beauty.

I used to be into this at the low end, Audio Research LS-1, Rowland Model 1, Mirage M3SI (before they went el cheapo crappo). I still have my CAL Delta CD transport and a Theta DA, CAL is out of business. My plan back then was to move up to a pair of Dunlavy SCIVs, better amp, pre-amp, transport, and DA but it got too expensive.

Bose! Nothing beats it

All highs, no lows, must be Bose.

I likes me some audio conversation. I've been a fan of Onkyo for quite some time. They make good high-current amps.

My primary AV receiver is a flagship Denon from over a decade ago.

Main speakers are JBL L5s, CL505 center, a pair of Definitive Technology bi-polar sides, and a pair of JBL L1s in the rear. A Carver Sunfire TrueSub Signature completes the set.

Lost my HT TV late last year. Still looking for a replacement.


Sent from my electronic leash.

Real men build their own.

[Graves]

Agreed!

I always thought it was NO highs, NO lows, must be Bose.

That at may have just been the car audio side though.

Their satellite speakers weren't even able to do a decent job of mids. Somebody needs to let Bose know that a "subwoofer" should go below 20 Hz.

Oh, you wind your own coils, build your own cones, glue on surrounds...

What, put drivers in a box?

[NFATrustGuy]

I had a decent setup back in the late 80's:

NAD Tuner/Amp
Nakamichi cassette deck
Denon CD player
Thorens turntable
Ohm Walsh 3 speakers for the front
Boston Acoustic A60's in the rear

I have,
oh, wait, I've got 4 years of Morse code in headphones, same time of RTTY sigs blaring through speakers trying to get the wave just right, then 35 years of aviation noise, MUCH of it before the magic of electronic noise cancelling, then a bunch-o-years of firearms of numerous calibers, before the suppressors I have now, so, the thought of high quality audio massaging my ears, is kind of wasted on me. Considering the forum we're on right now, and with what I've read of most of y'all's jobs, we're all just pissing in the wind.

I built my own too. I don't build the drivers, buts let be real, the enclosure is extremely important. It must be custom built to the correct dimensions to best suit the driver combonations and specs along with the crossovers. All my enclosures I have used software to design correctly.

I have however built my own crossovers including winding my own inductors.
