    Is there a possibility that our strive towards accuracy is actually counterproductive to musical engagement/enjoyment?

    Johan there is no hiding place from diminishing hearing frequencies, whether it be Vinyl or CD or Streaming or the wife's voice for that matter. Fact is ONE LOOSES FREQUENCIES WITH ADVANCING YEARS. My point is that one still can enjoy music then BUT One thing you cannot do is JUDGING ACCURACY...

    Additional recommendations for closed-back over-ear headphones under R3k

    I am new to the Headphone business and have some questions: Why do we need all of a sudden a variety of "headphone amplifiers"? I thought that the headphone socket in the amp is sufficient ???? I am looking for a pair of closed headphones between R2500 /3500 to listen to music only (vinyl and...

    Is there a possibility that our strive towards accuracy is actually counterproductive to musical engagement/enjoyment?

    I had a slightly different feeling - NOT LOOKING FOR GREATER ACCURACY - and despite being absolutely happy with "my current system's sound" the lingering question is always there: "If I could upgrade this or that" I wonder how much sound improvement I could experience when doing an...

    NAD 314 silenced

    Yes. I ran the 314 with my KEF Q150 (8W) for quite a while before exchanging the 314 for the 352. Was and is working fine as well with my speakers as well as with the Audiolab 8000 CD player.

    NAD 314 silenced

    Hi Ludo Thanks..Have passed on your suggestion and also provided the "doctor" with the NAD 314 Service Manual. Situation is absolutely crazy and currently inexplicable: When I connect the 314 at home with my speakers (KEF Q150 ) and Cd player (Ausdiolab CD8000)....NO RESPONSE WHATSOVER. When I...

    Dear Family Dog, Thanks for reminding me HOWEVER I am aware of loadshedding and am operating my HiFi occasionally on Inverter power (PURE SINE WAVE).....Otherwise I would not have noticed the green LED by the Power button and the CD player playing. But Thanks anyway , One forgets the "NORMAL"...

    How much do cables matter?

    Noted but acc to the Phono Stage and Cartridge specialists Input capacitance is of no consequence for MC-LOW OUTPUT carts. For MC-HIGH OUTPUT the Input capacitance is important and that is why many phono stage manufacturers for MC or/and MM carts as well offer a selection of input...
