| 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... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I have two systems employing subs, one with DBA and one without. The one with the DBA set up the fastest. I didn't have to mess with the sub locations and setting the amplifier controls was a breeze. The other uses a single sub and I had to move... | |

| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @tmac1700 Having a hard time finding a speaker that sounds great with hip hop, techno and rock There isn't a way to design a speaker, amp, preamp or source to favor a certain genre of music. What makes a speaker good (or bad) for a certain ge... | |
| Balanced versus single ended They both sounded good, but given the price difference, I would buy Ralph’s cables. To be clear, 'our' cables are simply Mogami Neglex with Neutrik connectors. | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? Can someone please explain why I need to create a 3v output from the Chord Mojo 2? @therandyman To get enough output to drive the amp. | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages You been on a ride yet? My wife and I have new bikes this year. The drive trains are somewhere between New Hampshire and Italy. This year's ride is leaving Banff on the 10th of June and hoping to arrive at Antelope Wells, NM in under 30 days (w... | |
| Can anyone identify this inductor? @clustrocasual ^^This. | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages This is very true - the proper equipment required to work on SMD boards is around $100k. @dover That depends on the type of SMDs used. The 0402s and the 0201s can be done with fairly simple equipment certainly costing maybe $500 if you stretch ... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Is there any chance the major contributors to this thread will be designing, producing, and selling a new type of phono stage in the near future? We've been making phono sections since 1989. Our MP-1 had the first fully differential balanced ... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II in an ideal current driven phono stage that uses an op amp to sense current, is the coil of the cartridge connected to that virtual ground that you describe? One end of course. If that is the case, where do they connect the other end of the coil?... | |
| High Efficiency Options? The room is truly small, I believe 9x11 with 8 foot ceilings. Also I don’t think Klipsch would be a good choice for me with my tastes. I really prefer I nice full midrange and I’m willing to sacrifice elsewhere to achieve it. @brylandgoodman ... |
