| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... I thank you all for your detailed responses and recommendations, I'm elated that the topic inspired so many responses and expressed “love” for tone controls and the loudness feature. There were quite a few responses that mentioned room treatment ... | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics +1 @arafiq and +1 @phasemongerPhasemonger said it well: 4. The real forum-related obstacle to being a newbie isn’t an imbalance of thread types; it’s the bizarre viciousness that makes me hesitant to post anything. And Arafiq nailed it with just 2... | |
| Budget Phono preAmp I'll give another recommendation for the Schiit Mani as a budget phone preamp. I bought one on a whim to see if it was any better than the phone stage on my older NAD preamp, and it sure was, and by a lot. More gain, and improved clarity / sound.A... | |
| Photos of my system Wow, great looking system! And I would bet it sounds even better than it looks! Also, thanks for sharing the playlist. Happy Listening! | |
| Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings) I'm using an SVS SB2000 (sealed box) sub in a 320 square foot room with 8' ceilings, in a 2.1 stereo application. This sub is more than adequate for this application. Room placement will be important.I ended up buying the SVS wireless adapter for ... | |
| Did your system ever get so good it pushed you out of the house? For me, the complete opposite. I enjoy my system / music so much that my preference is to stay home, put a good record on, have a few drinks etc. Possibly share this experience with a loved one or close friend. For me it doesn't get any better tha... | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album Another vote for Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime Album. If you're a fan of rock music of any kind, this album is a masterpiece. | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! yyzsantabarbaraL: Siamese Dream is a fantastic album, I also use that album to fine tune my system. Great album from start to finish! To the OP, I lost count, but I think I was up to about 20 different speaker recommendations in the thread. Instea... | |
| RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on? My first introduction to VH was mid 80's, at a cousins birthday party, I was 12 or so. My wicked cool Uncle Joe had brought a boom box with some tapes to listen to, one of them was Diver Down.Definitely sad news on his passing, was fortunate to se... | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? I got into vinyl about 5 years ago. I actually had records before I had a turntable.Walked into an flea-market / re-sale type of store in my city one Saturday morning, asked the girl working the counter if she had any turntables. At first she s... | |
| Add to Wedding Registry? "Dishonarable discharge", Lol... | |
| have you ever bought stereo without listening first Like many others have noted here, I also do a lot of research / review reading if I'm going to purchase audio equipment blindly, without in person audition / listening. I bought my Zu DW's blindly, mostly because of the rave reviews and the modest... | |
| It happened again tonight I think I’ve read in past posts that Krissy was the person selling the paste that it used on electrical connections? Anyways, love me some Pink Floyd. Saw them in the early 90’’s, the old Foxboro stadium, Massachusetts. I was 19. I’ve seen 100+ co... | |
| When Did Your System Disappear? It was mid century modern dream. And it had many dark secrets that I would discover later. Sandthemall: Don't leave us hangin', tell us about the house! | |
| How do I get the "most" out of a speakers that are rated for 12 ohms? Thank you very much for the responses, they are greatly appreciated! |
