| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? @uberwaltz I think @lewm has good points about different woods causing different sounds. Music instrument makers are aware of this. Maple seems to be a favorite. You need to clamp it down somehow. A record clamp would probably do it. I wouldn’t wo... | |
| Speaker Project @ishkabibilI understand you liking the Advents, especially the Original (12" frame 10" woofer) I am a drummer and tend to have my bass set at a higher level than others. I had the Original Advents also. They were very well reviewed back then. But ... | |
| New to the two channel world - Advice needed on preamp dspr has given you good info. I am partial to CJ myself. however, ARC is a good choice as well. FWIW, I have a CJ PFR which I was waiting till fall to sell. It has been serviced, cleaned and new capacitors installed. this was done early this sum... | |
| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? Some years ago, Chris Brady (Teres Audio) and some other a'philes got together to do a shootout between Chris' new wooden platter and his lead loaded acrylic platters. The wood platter was the hands down winner in every case according to those who... | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO My only experience with Carver was when I was looking at the Amazing loudspeaker in the 80's. The holographic preamp was in use as they bragged on how good it sounded. It sounded awful to my son and I. I always believed it was operator error in th... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? Interesting that some have talked about regular people as if we aren't regular. We are regular. We just have a hobby that is outdated. It became outdated because music is so cheap. It's everywhere for free.. oh, sure. High definition music cost so... | |
| Need RCA loading plugs Have you tried it without loading? I have a JLTi which I run without loading plugs. It runs a Zyx 4D LOMC very nicely at 47K .It also ran a Benz Ebony L without loading. If your preamp is stable enough it may run without the loading. But you won't... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? @douglas_schroeder Another part of my problem is too many hobbies. Each wants my time and $$$. Music is my #1 hobby though I actually consider it my lifestyle more than a hobby@bigkidz , concerning what is missing with my amp?, ....Nothing. May... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? BTW @douglas_schroeder The dedicated room talk was 10-12 yrs ago. had some health issues which actually took that out of play. I took about a 3-4 yr sabbatical from music during that time. Now, I'm old & broke (well, not broke but badly bent)... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? Interesting thread. Looks like most are lone audiophiles. And why wouldn't that be the case? Music has become so devalued that anyone spending $$$ on it must be weird. FTR, I live in a tri-city area of 3 towns @ about 60k population apiece. I hav... | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? @atmasphere Thanks Ralph. Fwiw you have a way of making the complex easy to understand. Are/Were you also a teacher? | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? @mapman I think you have given a good explanation of what i was trying to find out. I have the efficient speakers which somewhat piqued my interest in class A | |
| To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question! @tuffy72561 I have held off buying a conditioner after finding PerfectPath and another company's offerings (who's name I can't remember). Considering the improvement, I wonder if I might not see the same out of a less expensive module IE Furman PS... | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? @larrykell Coffee is another area that the masses could care less about. Give em Dunkin Donuts and they think they have the best. I used to take my own coffee on vacation & when we went to see family. I'm sure They thought I was a coffee snob.... | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? I listen to music every day, I glance at my electricity bill once a month. :-) I like that. Sounds like something I'd say |
