| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. There was an amp that provided soft clipping circuitry, NAD comes to mind. Clipping can destroy a tweeter in short order. If the amp/speaker is matched properly then it should not be an issue. Typically, its better to have an abundance of power th... | |
| Power Amp The simple answer is buy a solid state amp and use a tubed preamp. Jmo | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? No, and I never will. Now I do use one in home theater and that's where it stays. I'm not into the boom boom boom when listening intently to my stereo. | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Your body temp is typically 98.6 F. That’s equivalent to a pretty darn hot summer’s day. What’s the answer? Additionallly, humans, cows, squirrels, goats, chipmunks, wolves, fox, dogs, cats zebras, elephants all have flatulence....., Getting back ... | |
| Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years?? A good design is a good design, whether old or new. I’m sure there are improvements in materials used, but that does not necessarily mean better sound, increased longevity maybe. The issue with most older speakers is the cone surround which rots a... | |
| Advice on best mid priced MM cartridge choice for Rega P3 (2016) I'll second the hana eh recommendation. I use the el version and it is lovely. | |
| Cartridge recommendation please... The Sumiko Moonstone would be another great choice. It has received great reviews from numerous publications. Also the Shure m97xe if you can get your hand on one, as they are selling at 3 times the original price, sometimes brand new on ebay. Las... | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? Vinyl sounds superior in many ways. I don’t know about anyone else, but I can hear the difference. I will give up my turntables when I’m dead. Like Tom from better records says, a cd will never ever have that "tubey magic" of a good vinyl pressing... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Julie london, Peggy Lee, Patsy Cline. | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? Pick up a cambridge audio t500 used for cheap on ebay, an excellent tuner with a knob for tuning. It is a joy to use and sounds terrific. Alternatively, find a used creek t43, essentially the same as the above t500, but with slightly better perfor... | |
| Own many mid-game speakers or a few end-game speakers. I'll keep my tannoys made in Scottland UK over any home built abomination. I think they know a thing or two about making speakers, they have been at it pretty much longer than anyone. | |
| Best room treatment A couch preferably fabric, some pillows, a carpet, a chair or two preferably fabric, curtains, a tapestrie, a coffee table, an end table.....a picture or two or three....you know, a regular lived in room, jmo. No ugly crap in my listening room. | |
| Combining 2 channel audio and home theatre Keep it seperate, sound will suffer. Jmo. I have a totally different set up for watching movies. My hifi Is completely independent from the surround sound/home theater etc. Dedicated 2 channel hifi with no subs. If speakers can’t go low enough on ... | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! One speaker comes to mind...the Wharfedale Lintons. For $1500 you get the speakers with the stands! Non fatiguing and beautiful to look at with top notch build and real wood veneers. Pretty hard to beat that at this price. Look at all those positi... | |
| Problem with phono stage How in the world are pops and tics not normal in vinyl playback? It's part of the medium as it is a contact sport so to speak. You will never eliminate them entirely so why fret about it. If your hearing this sort of thing on a pristine brand new ... |
