| Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023) "Toe-in is also important. When Vandersteens are properly set up, the performance is excellent." That's interesting. When my step father ran his 2Ce's, we did a fair amount of moving and testing and measuring in his listening loft, and toe in mad... | |
| 2.1 Stereo System for TV Listening I have a pretty small home, not "tiny home", but damn close enough. I use 2.1 since there is no room or anywhere to have a dedicated stereo listening room, and I watch a lot of movies and shows, and Youtube music/concerts/video, nearly equal to j... | |
| solid core VS stranded for inside speaker cabinet Danny/GR Research helped me upgrade and better tune an old set of Epos ES12 speakers a couple years ago: new crossover parts, wiring, sound deadening material. Solid core wire worked great. I also have solid core speaker cable/wires from the amp... | |
| Best sounding CD player Just wanted to throw my .2cents. I absolutely love my Pioneer Elite PD-65 modified by Musical Concepts. It's an old 90s CD player that has some awesome components, a ton of copper use, and super solid platter transport. The DAC chip set, higher... | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION A lot of good suggestions mentioned (the ProAc and Vanderstein are two of the best). I wanted to toss in my vote for Legacy Studio HD stand mount/bookshelf. I had an older pair of Epos ES12 speakers forever (still have, still love!!!) that I rep... | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? This is my new favorite thread!!! F1 and Hi-Fi = Hi-F1! | |
| Twisting 4 pairs of Belden 9497 per channel? @holmz Thanks so much for this info and response. Was very helpful for me. Would you have any insight on the impact of using 8' of twisted speaker wire on sound (or 8' of any speaker wire for that matter). Once all done up, the 8' came out to a... | |
| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice Some great recommendations. @munneuro I don't recall seeing if you only wanted "new" speakers, but what about the old Epos ES11 or ES12 line of used speakers? On stands and close-ish to a wall these sounded really amazing. Might not be as resol... | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I'm another who had Danny do testing and build a crossover for my 1990s Epos ES12 speakers. He's been a respected designer and engineer for the industry for years on years, so he has a great deal of "insider" experience and prefers to do his own ... | |
| Fuses Then use one of these in place of your fuse for just a test instead of spending $$$ on snake oil fuses, and see what it sounds like compared to the normal fuse, as it’s solid brass fuse buss bar just like no fuse at all for tech testing. georgehif... | |
| Fuses georgehifi thank you for the info! I was -just- about to ask someone with electrical circuit engineering/design formal knowledge to explain how a fuse in audio equipment works, is used, and what/how it could flavor the sonic quality of the other ... | |
| ATC SCM7 or Legacy Studio HD for small living room? jjss49 oddiofylMy friend suggesting the Legacy actually has a pair of the ATC active towers, and -LOVES- them like no other. He has owned -numerous- other speakers for decades and heard dozens more. Says there is almost no comparison. And the ... | |
| ATC SCM7 or Legacy Studio HD for small living room? EXACTLY! I spent most of my life as a commercial photographer, and loved that you could rent any piece of kit to try out, and buy exactly what you wanted! That being said, I could also just buy both sets of speakers, audition them at my leisure, ... | |
| ATC SCM7 or Legacy Studio HD for small living room? oddiofyl I KNOW!!! I was thinking and wishing the same thing!!My million pesos business idea-- manufactures need to keep like 5-10 pair of just beat up ugly well used speakers that they can rent to folks for like, $25 a day plus shipping. If you... | |
| ATC SCM7 or Legacy Studio HD for small living room? lonemountain ATC has a stellar pedigree, and I -know- they are a serious and real speaker builder. I have never heard anyone who's owned them ever regret or wish they had waited and bought something else. For a small-medium monitor, I know they... |
