| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Fatiguing speakers seem to be best suited for home theater. That’s where I put my Def Techs. | |
| The Weekend It was more like The Weakened | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! I had the SAME exact issue and redid the tracking force and increased it towards the high end. The cart says 1:7-1.9. I recalibrated it towards the 1.9 and the Problem went away. | |
| Best temperature for optimum tube performance One of my better purchases for my system is this exhaust fan that’s built to be placed on top of audio components and is extremely quiet.. It has 3 fans that suck the hot air up and blow it out either the front or back depending on the unit. It ha... | |
| What exactly is textural density?? @erik_squires Anything in music that doesn’t sound like an AM radio. And then like anything else there are different degrees. Hope that helps! | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps Arcam makes highly regarded HT receivers and processors. That’s where they excel. | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? 2 years old but seems appropriate for this thread. Arigatogozaimashita! P.S. Can anyone name that speaker ?? https://youtu.be/XJJy6VJvSCk | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? Isn’t Accuphase really reasonably priced in Japan? Like at least 30 percent cheaper than an US import. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? I had a free phone consultation with him a couple months back. He is abrasive to say the least. Turned me off so much I couldn’t wait to get off the phone. | |
| Feedback, thoughts, real experience with the Bergmann Magna turntable? So I’ve had this table and SS cart for 3 weeks now and it’s a sizeable step up in sonics from my previous Rega P10 /Aphelion2 which shared the same room for about a week before I had to say goodbye to the Rega when it sold. I actually can’t get ov... | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? What about simply tweaking the toe in of the right speaker so it’s in more, or slightly less toe in on the left speaker? | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. I fell for the Walker Audio Talisman mainly because I read stellar review from what I thought were reputable sites like 6moons, Positive Feedback, Dagogo, etc At least for me, it does absolutely nothing. It doesn’t even eliminate static. Oh well... | |
| Back to vinyl need phono stage help! I agree with going with a Sutherland. As someone said all he does is phonostages (after founding Martin Logan) and his focus is black backgrounds. Stretch for the 20/20 LPS version- used or demo is not a far stretch and it’s quite remarkable. | |
| Mágico M6 vs Big Wilson speakers Have Jay’s Audiolab (whitecamaross) advise you. He's played around and tested both at the same time although I’m not sure if it was the M6 but it was over $100k. | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? Pioneer Elite Receiver. Heavy piece of electronics!Sony ES CD player. 5 CD Carousel Def Tech BP10. Blown away by the bipolar impact on soundstage. Wall of sound. |
