| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? Thanks, Erik. I’ll try that. | |
| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? Thanks, everyone, for your input. I’ll pick up the tester on Amazon. I have shut off the circuit that goes into my music room and went around testing the outlets all around it to see which ones are dead. I’m guessing the receptacles would be in... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? For me the Dunlavy SC-IV took the cake in both height (72”) and weight (180 lbs). Huge speakers that imaged like monitors. Regret selling them. | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? Thanks for the link to Holt’s review. I read that years ago and had pretty much forgotten about it. How nice that he actually took the time to give it an in-depth review rather than just dismissing it outright as many do nowadays. In the end wh... | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? The "no bass" comments surprise me. Back in the day, four 901's (one in each corner of a ceiling) were used in some clubs for dance music. They produce plenty of bass, IMO. I wonder if the treatment reduces the higher frequencies just boosting ... | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? I think properly set up the Bose spealers can sound rather nice. As good as higher end speakers? Possibly. I was curious to see if anyone plopped down a pair of 901's in an acoustically treated room as the majority of their sound is aimed at th... | |
| Local pick up only… Lucky for you. I've never experienced that with few occasions things were broken enroute to me. I've also been told each time I ship something that damage will not be covered unless the UPS packs the item regardless of original box or not. | |
| Local pick up only… It’s not just the shipping costs or taxes that people are concerned about. Many don’t realize this, but carriers (at least UPS) will only insure for damage if “they” box the item up themselves. Even if i box the speakers or any other item in i... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? So one cannot be an audiophile, in your opinion, if one doesn't believe switches, cables and fuses make a difference? How boring any forum would be if everyone agreed about everything. | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? I don’t think it’s so much “neglected” as it is “reasonably located” within what is, normally, a room used and shared by other members of a household. Not many are lucky enough to have a dedicated listening room. Now take that small group lu... | |
| Should I turn my CD player off when I am finished for the day I’ve never turned any of my CDPs off unless I was going on vacation or there was a severe thunderstorm. This applied to all my non-tubed electronics, as well. | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Guessing the bar is set low. Actually, the opposite. You’d be amazed at the quality of sound a pair of Etymotic ER4 and a phone streaming lossless can provide your ears. | |
| Internal biwire question Thank you. | |
| Surprised by streamer differences I've downloaded the Lightning DS but haven't compared the sound to the Roon. I wonder why the sound quality is different? Funny you mention the U1 Mini. I just got that in yesterday. I picked up three streamers (Stack, Auralic, Lumin) and th... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... I've been a big fan of Bose for damn near 40 years! 601 Series II, loved them and wish I still had them. 301 Series II was the first pair of speakers I bought after joining the Air Force. I still remember how nervous I felt spending that kind o... |
