| I Recapped my Conrad Johnson PFR. Wow! Some of the best $$$ I've spent @bdp24 In my case I wasn't try to modify but trying to save a good sounding preamp which has run its lifetime on the caps. My tech (Bill Watkins jr) just uses these caps because they are good...at least that's my understanding.Still, I underst... | |
| To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question! @lak . Thanks for the info. I previously read some threads about Perfect Path TC and the Omega E mat . The question I came upon is if those are the same or similar to the Bybee Qse which are less expensive. Whatever the case, I suspect I still n... | |
| To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question! @erik_squires Thanks for the links. I've been interested in making 2 zones but I figured I'd need to run another dedicated circuit. I'll check out the links. Hey, I may save some $$$ too.@ronrags Thanks for sharing your experience with the EC 1800. | |
| To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question! Fwiw I have wondered about putting the Furman on it's side in back of my rack. Any thoughts? | |
| To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question! @erik_squires Yes I d go for the reference series. However I don't have rack space for it. I'm stuck with a power strip type in back of the rack or the EC 1800 which will fit in the available space | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel I had a Rel Storm 3 in my system for many years. I now have 2 Sumiko S-10 (Rel S5 clone). Fantastic subs and add much more than just bass as mmeeks & others have said. Earlier Rels had even lower power amps. The Storm 3 only had 150 watts. It... | |
| My system sounds better than ever.......Yet, I STILL bought another preamp!! @noble100 There;'s no question as to what I like. The question is where to find it at a cost I can afford. | |
| lack of bass @suhila. You say" i must say that the tracks were taken from the web so i dont know how good they are."Maybe you are listening to Mp3 tracks which are 128 , 192 kbps. ? That what it sounds like to me. Mp3's cut at that rate often sound anemic in ... | |
| My system sounds better than ever.......Yet, I STILL bought another preamp!! @millercarbon Indeed all those things come into play. It is a celebration. But I've always been curious about man's actions....especially those which seem inconsistent.To the rest: Its good to be in such good company | |
| My system sounds better than ever.......Yet, I STILL bought another preamp!! @dweller Thanks for putting the positive spin on it. You are right in that I wanted to know what more tubes will do. And when my wife asks why, I'll inform her that I am a scientist (I didn't think of that before) | |
| Bed BATH AND BEYOND Best Buy & Walmart also have vinyl now. Both just throw the albums in the rack willy nilly w/o alphabetizing them. So if you are looking for a particular artist/album, you have to look through all of them. I walked out. | |
| Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing? @2psyop I plan on getting the hearing taken care of soon. Like you say, it improves quality of life. If music sounds better, then that's a plus. | |
| Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing? @goldilocks The music sounds fine to me. I know about the hearing loss only from TV conversations which I cannot understand. | |
| Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing? FWIW the hearing loss is a relatively new thing.I had a hearing test 10-12 yrs ago and was in the normal range. I only recently noticed that I can't hear the conversation on TV as well as I used to do. And yes, I will take care of it.. .....thoug... | |
