| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? +2 for the Dutch & Dutch 8C's. They are the most beguiling speakers I've ever heard. I purchased them without hearing them first and consider them to be my endgame speakers. These monitors throw a cardioid dispersion pattern, which help e... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I demoed the T+A 200 against my Denafrips Terminator Plus 12th addition. The T+A was much more natural and pleasing to my ears. I put an order in for the T+A, sold the Terminator, and then things took a strange turn. Long story short, I sold all m... | |
| Surge Protectors Thanks @goose, The answer is "both". I've invested a tidy sum on my system, and I feel incredibly lucky to finally be able enjoy listening without constantly thinking about tweaks or upgrades. I simply wish to protect my investment. Whether that... | |
| Surge Protectors To be clear, I'm not expecting any "improvements" by adding a surge protector. I'm just looking to maintain the fantastic sound quality I already enjoy. | |
| Surge Protectors Thanks folks, I appreciate your thoughtful responses. Getting back to the original question, I'm wondering if our plain vanilla surge protector is limiting the amount of current from our dedicated 20 amp circuit to music system? Another way of ... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone I’m not too proud to change my mind when new information/experience or well reasoned advice comes my way. I’m by no means a bass head but there are certain tracks I play to test just how subterranean my Dutch & Dutch speakers can go. With s... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone @whipsaw I appreciate your comments. I’m by no means an expert in this field and am relying on the collective wisdom and experience of our tribe. “Any fool can learn from his own mistakes…”. I’ve not run across any of Robert’s comments disparag... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone @whipsaw If you understood what I said to be an "overstatement" please know I was only sharing what others have reported after comparing the two. Unfortunately I’ve not had the opportunity, so I can’t definitely say (yet). Once the LVA gear arri... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone @erik_squires Agreed, (3) points are better than (4). Not to trumpet the brand but Live Vibe espouses (3) points of contact. (3) points will always equalize whereas (4) points are prone to wobble. I've not tried placing weights on the top of ... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone @soix I have considered Townsend. I spent several days trying to make a purchase with them and finally gave up. Not the best customer service experience. I’ve settled on Live Vibe Audio. Yes more expensive but superior to Townsend based on every... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone Based on this research paper (see link below) it doesn’t appear that stone would resonate in any significant manner detrimental to our 20hz - 20khz hearing range. I’m not saying stone is perfect, and different types behave differently, but when st... | |
| Your audiophile chair @roxy54 I stand corrected. It’s only 18k. https://www.dwr.com/living-lounge-chairs/chieftains-chair/6779.html?lang=en_US It’s been a long day. I should post when I’m dog tired and can’t see straight. | |
| Your audiophile chair @recklesskelly I hear you brother. When I bought my chair 8 years ago it was only 3k. I nearly fell out of the damn thing when you said it was 20k. I try to buy things that appreciate over time, hard to do with audio gear. | |
| Your audiophile chair The Chieftan has been an excellent chair for me. Mid-Mod styling, roooomy and very comfortable. https://www.thechieftainchair.com/ | |
| Making speakers “disappear”….. @thomastrouble Most folks know bookshelves pull off the "disappearing act" much easier than floor standers. When they don't it typically means there's something about the room setup (reflections and room modes) that's ruining the illusion. Chan... |
