| Dumping it all for Lyngdorf??? i would love to hear how the lyngdorf stacks up against the VTA ST-120. Its little brother, the ST-70 took the place of a high end SS amp which costs nearly double the price of the lyngy. I'm skeptical and would love to have a one box system whic... | |
| Over Tubing it? I am wondering folks opinions on whether one can "over tube it" This question comes up once or twice a year. IMO, The question itself comes from those who have read all the erroneous claims about tubes. IE "Tubes are slow." "Tubes don't have g... | |
| What is Tight Bass? @ghdprentice Yes, I was shocked and perplexed when I first moved from a good ss (Pass x350) to a tubed Audio Research Reference 160s. Two things immediately struck me… what a big reduction of slam… and how much better and more articulate the ba... | |
| What is Tight Bass? @chayro Agreed mostly. I too am a musician (drummer). I never heard a lot of things put forth in the music world which is prevalent among audiophiles. I always took "tight bass" as a bass line that is quick & sharp. I never heard a bass guit... | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge I agree with all the above. But on the other side is this thought. Even AFTER you buy these other speakers, there is STILL other speakers that will enchant you if you listen to them. I tend to agree that there are much better that the heresy's. Bu... | |
| Recording from PC to R2R via DAC Just say NO to Mp3. It is a lossy codec. Flac is much preferred. Wav may be better But from my comparison i could not hear a difference. The difference is in the space taken on the hard drive. Most of mine are Flac. I do not use Mp3 except maybe i... | |
| My CD input not working on y Mcintosh MA800 It very well may be to simply unplug from the power source for 1-2 minutes and then plug it in again. I have to do this with my CJ preamp at times. One thing to understand is that many modern pieces have a computer(s) which go astray at times. Lik... | |
| Power, Network, Connection, Which one matters the most to you? Agree with @pesky_wabbit . | |
| what is a fair value or how to I determine it for pair of Paradigm Studio reference 40 v2 Check eBay sold items. You have to use the advanced settings for the sold items | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @noske Nah. He worked for Shuguang a few years ago. | |
| Berkeley CA audiophile is desperate need of help Ime, most every problem with streaming I in the network.. Fwiw I just did get my streamer dad working consistently this past weekend after 6-8 month of problem after problem. I knew it was network related but I am weak on network issues. But I lea... | |
| "Summer of Soul" Tonight 8pm PST Thanks. Obviously I missed it. But I may be able to find it on my Roku | |
| Pl advise on Amp for listening to AOR on Klipsch RF7 Mk II via a custom built R2R NOS DAC your amp list are all too good for these loudspeakers This was my 1st thought. FWIW at 100 db efficiency you should try a lower watt tube amp like the Black Ice or Bob Latino’s ST 70 or 120. I had the later running on my 93.5 db Sens. speakers ... | |
| is the 1990s "WIDE MODE" setting the 'soundstage' of today, and a gimmick? Electronic gimmickry like that is fine on less expensive gear, like a a boom box. But it is a detriment on higher end gear. | |
| Sumiko Pearwood Celebration II That is a pretty big step. I suspect you will be thrilled after dialing it in.I see that it has been discontinued, which is no problem. But you should get it at a good discounted price. Enjoy |
