| "I Trust My Ears" +1 @panzrwagn Yup I got the Pareidolia thing down pat. I see faces everywhere. Really disturbing when its pitch black and I still see faces. Must be some neuronal malfunction. Ok, back to my closet know for some rest. Regards, barts | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @dman777 Don't mess around in the digital domain, set it at 100% and forget it. Switch to RCA cables, I seriously doubt you'll hear any degradation of quality. Sounds to me like you're over driving your speakers. As an added bonus the volume... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I just sold three ARC amps, local pick-up cash. Spoke with the gentleman and he was very excited. He and his wife drove over 2 hours from another state. Turns out we had a nice afternoon listening to music and BS'ing about audio. He has text... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? Hey @larsman , I agree with @soix on this one. A learning remote is programmed by the remote you already have. Put it in learning mode and point your current remote at the spot they designate on the new remote and it learns the code (button by ... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Blood Sweat and Tears summer of '69. | |
| How old is too old? @secretguy My two cents is to buy one with the expectation of having to buy another. So, figure out a sliding scale based on dollars available, your age, age of player and expected longevity. There has got to be a sweet spot in there some wh... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano "I was just making an observation that it surprises me how my post engendered so many to answer." I too am amazed how many Agonrs responded to your somewhat inane question. I'm not trying to add to the discord on this thread. So, oh f... | |
| What is your audio axiom? @2psyop "If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” Yogi Berra +1 Perfect! Regards, barts | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! @bruce19 +1 To OP, However you determined this phenomenon, will you be able to tell if "the cure" works as advertised? I would absolutely do the least intrusive remedy. Simply to ease your brain. A healthy amount of blue tack placed strategica... | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else It may just be jumping ahead a few years in amp design, but my two Pass Labs XA30.8 and the two X260.8 (monos) in a tri-amped configuration never come out of class A. And my rig has never sounded better. Yes I have pushed it to very loud and th... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers Haven't seen anyone ask how far your speakers are from the back wall (TV)? Is it easy to pull them out a few feet to minimize the reflection off the TV? Did see someone mention TVs over fireplaces. That to me is absolutely the worst design choi... | |
| Is it better to get dedicated monoblocks instead of bridging stereo paired amps? Seems you answered your own question with "I love the Moon audio 761 sound". I have bridged two ARC amps to run the bass channel in a tri-amped system. it worked very well, but I'll admit that as long as any distortion is low I certainly can't he... | |
| Buyer Beware would have been cheaper, faster and easier to buy this on Amazon... TrendBox Multifunctional Network Networking Phone Cable Tester USB UTP LAN PC Test Tool RJ11 RJ12 RJ45 CAT5 CAT6 Only tests continuity, about $6 Regards, barts | |
| ??? How Do You Determine How Far You Can Take An Amp When Choosing Speakers ??? After being done with the Radio Shack "kid stuff" (late 60s) and only having one real human source for advice. The guy was a neighbor and an EE and had a single Klipsch Klipschhorn driven by all mono Mc gear. Fat story slim...he advised buying t... | |
| Help! Pre amp turning on by itself. With the remote in a closed drawer seems impossible for it to turn on the pre-amp. As already suggested above I would put tape over the sensor on the pre to ensure its not another remote. Oddly I have several appliances that occasionally "reset" ... |
