| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Mid to late 80’ s, my Harmon Kardon 730 blew a channel. It was 10 years old, so I bought a Luxman R115 receiver. Specs were great. I even heard it in the store. However,when I got it home a set it up, my first listen was a giant letdown. The bass ... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good @surfmuz I have never heard of any tyrant who has been educated away from his tyrannical ways. Have you?. Likewise I have never heard of an population who have complied their way out of tyranny. I agree that the problem is a big one. But the... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good @surfmuz You seem to be stuck on the past and trying to justify or build upon the wrongs committed rather than the right. This country also fought a civil war to end the practice of slavery. Hundreds of thousands of people died. But instead of ... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good @nyc_ben Amazon is one of them, yikes. Yes, I know. Walmart too. Both have run mom & pop business out. Both are very convenient to me. But I have decided to buy at other stores when possible @surfmuz Lots of nautical channels all ove... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good Okay, so you don’t mind copyright infringement or theft of technology, so how do you feel about slavery? Like most, I have bought Chinese products and will probably buy more, since it is nearly impossible to buy products that aren’t made in China.... | |
| Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp @bivhopkins That really the final test. Let us know how it turns out. | |
| Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp @ Ahhhh My apologies. But I wasn’t all the rough on you was i? But I am kinda straight shooter which throws some. Anyway, your system looks like you have a good start. However it threw me that you had a very inexpensive preamp in with equipme... | |
| Adding a third REL subwoofer My system is in the LR so I have to find a "proper WAF" place to setup the 3rd. Those with the swarm setup are sold on it . I'll figure it out sometime soon. Right nowe got my hands full with streaming issues. Ugh | |
| Revel F228be- will my amp be enough? 100 wpc amp should adequately drive all but the most any speaker on the market. | |
| Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp @bivhopkins OK so you don't believe that the price of an object is an indicator of its sound? I see a lot of people who expect a $300 piece to sound as good as a $3000. in a world where few stereo shops exist most have to put a system together... | |
| Adding a third REL subwoofer I have had Rel’s for 20 yrs so This is my guess.. One sub is connected red to +L & yellow to +R so you get both channels into the one sub. Two are hooked up in a stereo config. with one serving left channel and the other the right. I believe t... | |
| Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp Has anyone compared the Valhalla 2 to the Freya+ and is there a substantial sonic improvement? The Valhalla s an integrated headphone amp which sells for $349. The Freya is a dedicated preamp that sells for $949. OK, lets analyze this from a co... | |
| Tube Amp settings: Triode vs UL; 8 ohm vs. 4 ohm ? I believe that the triode setting will enhance the mid-range whereas the UL is more linear in freq response. That may help you to know what to listen for. There again, this is the theory. | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. @larsman GFR did not get the radio exposure which CCR did either. IIRC, it was only after they left their manager, Terry Knight({?), with the Phoenix album that they got much radio play.Many GFR fans called them a sellout because they got air... | |
| Modded Orchid MHDT vs. Holo Audio May DAC Nice mini review. The Holo also costs about 3x the MHDT. So it should sound better. But even after you get the Holo Spring or May, there is still something better. My goal is to satisfy myself with the sound that is reproduced. Being a lone "audi... |
