| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno It most certainly isn't a myth that many speakers, most even, don't provide sufficiently extended bass to do justice to electronica. That is true and those same speakers don't do justice to classical music either! Classical music can have some ... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno it is about which speakers (not design processes, not designs, but finished speakers) may make certain genres sound better or worse to listeners using them Such a speaker might make a certain recording sound better but its impossible for it to ... | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? Does this mean that MP3 does not have motorized volume control? @chungjh It has a motorized control too. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? @kevn The DBA setup is more accurate. The single sub suffers a bit around the edges of the room where it gets too much reinforcement. Forward or downfiring has no effect (in practice) simply because in most rooms the bass is entirely reverberant b... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno imo to call it a myth is a little strong ... lots of people with nice hifi’s don’t sit there for hours listening intently, some want the excitement of live music, listen for a while, get their thrill, turn it off we need to be careful not to imp... | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? Do you think the sound quality is degraded with a remote? I am talking about an audible effect. @chungjh @larryi got it right. It was for this very reason that we motorized our existing manual volume control in our MP-1. | |
| XLR Female to RCA Plug Adapter Running a truly balanced output is only beneficial if the receiving component has a truly balanced input circuit. @soix ^^ This. Don't bother with the XLR output since your preamp can't take advantage of it. The RCA connection will work just f... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II That is not the case in this instance. This gives me confidence in my belief that the load on the cartridge is responsible for the sonic changes that I reported above. I don't doubt that it could be affected. Loading the cartridge causes th... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno some speakers do better with some musical genres than others because their strengths and weaknesses are more befitting and tolerated with certain kinds of music example: klipsches tektons zus - these are ’lively’ brash sounding speakers, excel ... | |
| Balanced versus single ended Interesting. Are you saying that both amplifiers and cables that are billed as balanced might not be to standard? Absolutely yes for real. I've been harping on this fact for years. I've not sorted out if high end audio manufacturers choose to ... | |
| How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp? @dhcod I have real trouble believing that the Jensens are actually worse than your outboard SUT. But in order for them to work right, the Jensens must be loaded correctly at their output. I expect Lamm has a provision for that. The loading changes... | |
| Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers? Have you tried playing with inverse toe in? In other words put the speakers to point at the side walls at your listening position, then gradually move towards the paralell position until you have no blind spot in the middle of the soundstage. S... | |
| How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp? All good advice here. In addition to Raul's comments you might also try a different orientation of the SUT. | |
| Who actually uses digital speakers? @erik_squires You put me in a bind- I can't avoid making you wrong; if I don't jump in, then I made you wrong, If I do jump in, I have to say there's no such thing as a digital speaker... Seriously though IMO powered speakers are not the best cho... | |
| Balanced versus single ended With those who report here they have fully balanced audio systems input to output and yet they hear very distinct differences among balanced cable brand/models. Are there alternative or proprietary balanced audio circuits by these manufacturers o... |
