| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! You'll laugh, but here it goes: I recently picked up a pair of Fosi V3 Monos and after adding the Sparkos opamp, I heard some subtle things on some my test tracks that I'd not heard before. Or maybe hadn't noticed before. Some amps I've had or ... | |
| Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies I've had three so far: Super Tablette, LS50, and Acoustic Zen Adagios. My room is acoustically treated 13x14. Basically small and not the best shape. | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. In my experience, acoustic treatments made a rather significant improvement in my small (12x16 and 13x14) listening rooms. Stacked GIK 244s (w/diffusion plates) in the front corners, two of the same ones on the ceiling, 244 w/o plates on 1st and ... | |
| Integrated Suggestions for a Garage System Check out the Fosi BT20A for a hundred bucks on Amazon. Has plenty of power and you can stream to it. | |
| The Psychology Of Collecting jimbohlman, I am with you!!!! I really miss reading and looking at liner notes and album art. I wish streaming services had that on all their titles. To the subject at hand: I think nice collections can easily turn into hoarding when the amoun... | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist Vetsc5, thanks for sharing your story. Cool to hear stuff like this. 8th-note, 8 will definitely check out China Crisis. Thanks. mrfrito, thanks for the invite. I was listening to one of their albums driving into work this morning and I could... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? Have never had to think about music "not" being created by a real person so this line of thinking is new to all of us, I presume. And it's a good question. Right now, I'm leaning toward not caring whether a piece is created by an AI or human, as... | |
| Can a power amp have too much power, risking damage to a speaker? Don’t you have a preamp? Just don’t turn it up. | |
| The evolution of Proac Tablette speakers? I’ve tried a few different ones: JAS Audio Array 1.2 as an amp (50 watt SET), SMSL VMV A1, a 2A3 amp and right now the latest Fosi monoblocks. I think they sounded the best with the SMSL amp. | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? I think the high end audio industry is unknown to the general public. I spent over 22 years in the service and came across a huge number of people and yet met zero audiophiles. Come to think of it, even after I retired I’ve come across zero audi... | |
| Why don't streaming services offer album liner notes? Thanks, ghdprentice. I’ll have to start looking for those. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? I don't think you need that many watts to drive most speakers. I was using a 10 watt class A amp to drive a pair of Super Tablettes (86 db I think) in a 13x14 listening room with zero issues. So then I thought, "What the hell!" and put in my 2A3... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Your system (and setup) from the photo looks great! I bet it's a very enjoyable listen. I'm of the mind that cables can make a difference, but it is a very subtle one at best, regardless of price paid. Having said this, I've never paid tens of ... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. What I generally do with tubed gear, which I've done for eons, is turn the gear on around dinner-time (if I plan to listen to music) and off after listening. On the weekends I'll turn them on earlier and leave on all day and off before bed. | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? I’ve heard nothing but good things about Decware amps, but I’ve got to wonder how much of that admiration comes from the exclusivity due to their wait times. If you could order one from them and get them in a week, would they still be so revered? |
