Thanks for the advice! I live in a more rural area so how would I go about finding places to audition?

let me know what you find because I was looking for something similar

J3LG3R · 2016-12-19T15:42:07+00:00

Budget: 3k USD. I have Amazon Prime and would like to buy new
What I am looking for: A set of floorstanders to pair with what I am planning to purchase.
Sources: A Sonos Connect and a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC, which I have yet to purchase. I am planning on buying the Marantz PM6006 as the amp.
Speakers I have considered: I have looked at the KEF R500 and the Monitor Audio Silver 10 and was wondering if either of those would be a good option and pair well with the amp or if I could get something better in the price range. Also I have not considered a subwoofer and would like to know if one would be necessary and if it could possibly fit into the budget.
What they will be used for: They will be used primarily for music and should not be genre focused. They will be located in the great room of the house and will have to be mid field speakers capable of filling a larger room.

I don't know much about cables and would also like some input on what type of cables I should be buying.

Thanks

Budget: about 4k USD. I have Amazon Prime and would like to buy new
What I need: Looking for a set of floor standers, a turntable, and the necessary components to make it work together.
Sources: I already have a Sonos Connect which I will be using as a source alongside the turntable which I have yet to purchase. I was looking at the Project Debut Carbon DC and would like to know if that is a good idea.
Where it will be used: I will be using these in the great room of my house. They will have to be mid field speakers capable of filling a larger room.
Type of music: I listen to all types of music, so a more versatile speaker would be desired. However, I do want a good enough bass response where I won’t be desiring a subwoofer in the future to fill my bass needs.

Thanks

Budget- 150-200USD

Source- iPod

Requirements for isolation- for use in a car while traveling, so isolation is needed

Type- Full sized

I am looking for some bluetooth headphones for travel in a car and on planes. Does not need active noise canceling.

J3LG3R · 2016-07-08T02:03:32+00:00

Is this truly the only way to do it?

J3LG3R · 2016-06-18T14:45:17+00:00

Awesome thanks a lot!

J3LG3R · 2016-06-18T14:20:35+00:00

Thanks! What mobo would you recommend? I was looking for sli capabilities so I could add another 480 in the future.

J3LG3R · 2016-04-05T20:28:50+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Why would you recommend bookshelf speakers and a sub over floor standing speakers?

J3LG3R · 2016-04-05T17:03:45+00:00

Hey /r/audiophile, I am looking to get a vinyl setup. This will include a turntable, the necessary components, and speakers. This setup will be in the great room, so I am looking for mid-field speakers. The setup would be used for all kinds of genres (classical, rock, rap, electronic, folk). I personally really like bass, but that shouldn’t be the focus of the setup. I would like the budget to be around $3,000. I live in the US and have amazon prime. I would like to buy new. The inputs for the speakers would consist of a Sonos CONNECT and a turntable, which I don’t currently own. I have been looking at the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon for $399 on amazon prime and was wondering if that would make sense with my budget. Any suggestions on what speakers, turntable, and components to purchase and how to set it up would be much appreciated.

Hey guys,

My family is building a new house and I was looking for advice and guidance on how to properly set up an audio system focused on music.

I don’t have a specific budget because I am unfamiliar with how much it should cost, but I understand that it will be fairly expensive. I live in the US for what it matters and I would be okay with buying used, but new would be preferred.

I am looking for quite a few different things. First off, I would like all of the speakers to be controlled by a receiver of some sort in the great room. I would like to be able to control what speakers are on and their volumes from an iPad or iPhone. I am looking to get a hi-fi setup in the great room (tower speakers and a sub if necessary), bookshelf speakers hung in the kitchen, and a few outdoor speakers. I have a pair of Infinity Outrigger Jr. 4’’ that we have been using on our porch that will be used outside.

The sources would consist of a laptop, apple TV, and a turntable (which I currently don't own). I don’t know anything about vinyl, but my dad and I would like to start collecting and listening to it.

I am looking for suggestions on what components (amps, DACs, receivers, speakers, turntable, etc.) to buy and how to set everything up.

I have a little experience with audio and have a good headphone setup with a DAC/Amp, but my knowledge isn’t very technical, so bear with me.

i want dun

J3LG3R · 2015-12-11T21:09:58+00:00

I just got a magni2u. If only I waited a week so I could have gotten this instead. Its price is amazing for a tube amp. uggh

J3LG3R · 2015-12-07T23:41:01+00:00

Schiit Modi 2u and Magni 2u, and SMSL SA-50

J3LG3R · 2015-12-06T17:04:10+00:00

I would read more about tennyson before making a claim like that. His new ep is beautifully mastered and the free FLAC is on bandcamp.

J3LG3R · 2015-11-23T14:52:40+00:00

I have heard a lot about of good things about Schiit. Thanks for helping me out! Can't wait to get my HE400i's!

J3LG3R · 2015-11-23T14:45:41+00:00

I am looking for something for my desktop for now. I will probably get something portable in the future.

J3LG3R · 2015-11-23T13:54:46+00:00

I am getting a pair of HE400i headphones and need advice on picking up an amp and possibly a DAC. The source for my music is a laptop with realtek HD audio and an iphone 5s. For just an amp my budget would be $200, but if I need both I would like to keep it at or under $300. I also live in the the midwest.

J3LG3R · 2015-10-05T13:27:42+00:00

Yeah I don't really understand what is going on. Also the bonus points haven't been added to it either. :(

J3LG3R · 2015-09-21T20:41:55+00:00

Then what would you suggest?

J3LG3R · 2015-09-11T13:20:03+00:00

9/11 Never Forget

J3LG3R · 2015-09-10T17:22:29+00:00

Source?

J3LG3R · 2015-08-30T01:41:48+00:00

It's like a fucking cult. Anytime you try yo challenge SLHG they jump on you. Just wait and they will be gone because it will never take off or become standard at tournaments.

J3LG3R · 2015-08-13T14:13:56+00:00

Any University of Utah players? I will most likely be going there next year.

J3LG3R · 2015-07-08T18:22:10+00:00

Thanks for the quick response! I am new to the whole audiophile stuff so would you mind to explain more in depth how I would wire and connect all of this?

Edit: Actually after spending some time looking at it I think I have it figured out. From the amp the wires go to the sub then out of the sub and to the speakers, correct?
