| What type of speaker would sound better? Depends on how the extra cost is applied to the cabinets. If you are just making a thin walled ply or otherwise look pretty with a very nice veneer and finish then you are correct. If the money is put into making the cabinets inert, eliminating pa... | |
| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos Both of these guys are new to me. I watched a few videos from each and you can keep them both. Funny how some of these Youtube experts make me yearn for the top tier reviewers who I dont think have much to add either. I strongly suggest no of you ... | |
| Sellers Beware I have great luck with the USPS, but I rarely use them for larger items. By far and without fail, UPS has been the worst carrier I have used. It is getting to the point where I wont ship except on a pallet. | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please The type of speakers, or the type of drivers in your speakers, has a great deal to do with ceiling treatment. | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers TLs tend to sound better than ports, but the bass is still not on par with the best sealed enclosures IMO. What we are discussing is tighter bass, not so much lower bass. Ports and some TLs have the tendency to sound as if they have lower bass, bu... | |
| Informed/Insightful information requested on Tannoy GRF loudspeakers I wouldn buy any speaker without listening. I would not buy Tannoys without listening to them several times. I have never lived with a Tannoy, but every time I have heard the larger models at shows I havent been even remotely impressed. I simply d... | |
| KT88 Tubes Good advice from viridian. Always replace the entire set of power tubes unless you had an early failure in the set. If this amp is in original form internally you will need to replace caps at the minimum. | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? High end 2 way. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Crossovers are intrinsically problematic. Do you choose the drivers before or after designing the crossover? Many choose drivers first I think which is very limiting. | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" I dont think it is possible to construct a double blind test that will yield accurate and germane data. In fact any effectiveness of such a test goes out the window once the participants know they are being tested. The most effective experiences I... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? A reason to go with sealed box main speakers. Accurate bass is the key. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? I think you should replace the speakers or you spend all of your time acquiring components, etc to counter a specific deficiency. | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? Superb customer service. I think that Pass amps have a house sound and I have owned the XA 30.8 and a First Watt. I didnt like the F.W. at all and the 30.8, while a very good amp, really didnt do it for me in terms of nuance. I have nothing but re... | |
| Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues Why consider Denon with the multitude of t.t. manufacturers out there? I may be a bit out of touch, but I wouldnt consider anything from Denon worth consideration. | |
