Is there such a thing as too much power? Simple fact is that if you can get a more powerful amp to sound as good as a lower powered amp through the entire spectrum more power is better. Problem is that many higher powered amps dont sound as good as their lowered powered alternatives. Thi... | |
Soundstage Width and Depth The real question should be about soundstage width and depth that exist but shouldnt. Exactly how much of these characteristics are the result of speaker placement and how much is actually on the recording? | |
Can I go wrong with Stillpoint Ultra Mini anti-vibration isolation feet? Yes HRS products are superb but they tend to be pricey. Mike knows his stuff! | |
To horn or not to horn And I would say that when done well, horns do a very particular thing better than all other designs. The sense of ease you get with horns is really special. This can be intoxicating for a time, but to me always falls short in all other areas when ... | |
Sloppy, muted bass response on Hegel h190 Are you using the Kube? | |
To horn or not to horn As others have suggested not all horns are created equal. However, I dislike a higher percentage of horn designs than any other speaker type. | |

Where’s My Weakest Link? I agree with millercarbon in that some decent cables (look at the opening price point Black Cat) and some rudimentary room treatments (first reflection points are a good starting point) before buying new components. Dont take millercarbon too seri... | |
Can I go wrong with Stillpoint Ultra Mini anti-vibration isolation feet?

Under my transport, I actually prefer my Symposium ... | |
speakers or room??? Actually OC fiberglass isnt very effective when compared with an engineered cotton or wool material designed for this purpose. I bought some cotton material from a company called Soundproof Cow which I think is very good. If you want to go cheap t... | |
bose 1801 amplifier Now this is a response. Condemnation with details.Thanks! | |
bose 1801 amplifier I am not intimately familiar with this amp and only have heard it with Bose 901s over 25 years ago. The name doesnt inspire confidence but only those that have heard this amp with speakers other than the 901 should comment. | |
IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science I tihink it was likely specifications and measurements that are responsible for lower impedance speakers. What specification would tell you that most amps sound better driving an easy load than they do putting out the additional power? | |
My list of seller red flags I think a buyer that provides such an extensive list of red flags is almost guaranteed to be a difficult person to work with. The gall of a seller to stand firm on their price! Please give an example a non-gimmicky price. | |
Tubes The fact that current production equipment almost always comes with current production tubes has nothing to do with the quality of the tubes! Manufacturers use current production tubes because they are cheaper and available in large quantities. |
