| Short list of musical subwoofers Rel is my choice. I've had them for 20 years and they have served me well. My room is also big. The new one I have put out 550 watts. I can't go past one third the volume. Remember the Rel is mean to augment the bass. So the sub should blend in wi... | |
| Unico Primos Integrated savings opportunity I hope the OP has listened to the entire review and heeded his caveats about brightness at high volumes. The first red flag for me was that it has tilted up treble which often leads to the brightness he spoke of with high volume. Not at all my cup... | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? You are on the wrong track if you are listening to those telling you to upgrade the cartridge. Putting a $300 cart on a $300 TT running through a $200 phono pre is wrong headed. But it’s your $$$. Education costs $$$. $300 won’t buy much education... | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? It would seem that the objectivists 1st priority is to make sure the measurements are correct. Thus the measurements inform them that the system sounds good, NOT the system's sound itself. | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? I'd say yes, you will hear a difference. You are not on just beginning "your analog journey". You are also at the beginning of the line with the table & phono preamp. Just looking at price alone shows the EAT @ 3 times the price of the most ex... | |
| What say you? I would also add that this video is a balanced approach to cable buying and system building IMO. Its also the approach I took in building mine. Maybe that's why I agree 😀 | |
| Next MC Cartridge Advice/Recommendations +1 @lewm & @rauliruegas I owned the benz Ebony L which I believe is a tier down from the LPS. It was very good, IMO. Smooth warm detailed presentation I got the itch and replaced it with a Zyx 4D. Even better than the Ebony L. It just dug o... | |
| What say you? The video is titled "This high-end dealer doesn’t recommend expensive cables" This is what Andy Singer said at the 2:45 mark of the video "The end of the story is that cables are very important and the better the cables you can get, the better ... | |
| BT input to equalizer This should help you find one that is suitable and will probably be as much help as anything else you could add equalizer app | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gauge @millercarbon One question. Is the stylus replaceable? I suspect it is since that is their main business. But I’d hate to have to replace the cartridge after 2k hrs. | |
| The best audio tweak is a soft bristled paint brush... Every house painter that I have seen carries an old brush to use as a "duster" I too have used one for years to dust off every piece of equipment. Great to get between tubes in your amp or in crevices in the TT, or just the platter. Yes indeed, a... | |
| Bully pulpits @thecarpathian I wouldn't have to shout IF I could use larger letters. I wanted it to get attention. It worked. Just like deleting posts which disagree works. And if you think a bully just shouts, I suspect you have never encountered one. many o... | |
| Bully pulpits Bully pulpits GREAT TOPIC, COMPLETE WITH DELETED POSTS THAT DISAGREE WITH THE PREMISE PUT FORTH. BRAVO, YOU BRAVE INTELLECTUAL HEAVYWEIGHTS! BRAVO! And you wonder WHY there is such great division and no compromise? Let the games continue | |
| House Wiring Does Make a Difference! @teo_audio Don’t you fools know that science can only be done on paper and must come out of a textbook? Did you post to the wrong thread. Your posts are usually well reasoned but this one doesn't seem to fit here | |
| House Wiring Does Make a Difference! @toddalin Thanks for the info. Yes, NOS doesn't necessarily surprise me. Things were much more versitle in earlier yrs. I was a builder/carpenter for most of my life. I don't remember the 4 holes per side but the picture doesn't lie. I know that... |
