| Wow, $10k+ cables CERN cabling - maybe nothing special after all...except for shielding.https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/december-2007/gallery-in-the-labyrinth | |
| Wow, $10k+ cables I'm not a cable denier. I've heard quite amazing differences in imaging from interconnects. Not so much from power cords, still I can't say they don't exist.Every time a thread like this shows up I can't help but think what type of cabling is us... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! After puzzling out your budget and much reading and listening buy the best foundation pieces your budget allows (speakers, amp, pre-amp).Buy them as if you're married to them ('cause you are). Purchase a source component(s). These will undoubted... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? I have watched maybe 10 of his vids. It was worth the time and provided food for thought. But he completely lost me when in the last one I watched he went off on the "industry" selling extremely harmful substances like fiberglass and Roksul. He... | |
| What speakers are shown in the movie The Counselor? Lara Croft Tomb Raider has this TT playing as she does the bungee ballet. I sort of doubt that the producers paid a fee to have this on the set for a very very short time.https://www.pinterest.com/pin/296604325461527243/ClearaudioRegards,barts | |
| Strange buzz issue! @hshifiBoth of these pieces are solid state.To the OP, please ensure that ground wire between the two is a real good metal to metal contact. Also you might try shorting out any unused RCA inputs, take that cheap interconnect you have layin' aroun... | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? The OP states that he has a "left leaning" vocal image. Is everything leaning left or just the vocals? My experience is that many recordings have the vocal image where it should be in space which is not necessarily dead center.Second question is... | |
| Professional Identification help needed! Doesn't look anything close to the Hafler XL-280 I have sitting in a closet.Possibly a different vintage Hafler.Regards,barts | |
| 1099-K from PayPal (tax form) Thanks to all who posted very informative. Also I'm amazed that there is not a "cost basis" associated with this "income" in the IRS doc. Jeez.I too used TurboTax for years until it got too complicated, my taxes that is.Best thing is get a local... | |
| Stereo systems are like Harleys @wolf_garcia Have been to Marcus Dairy quite a number of times on a Heritage Softail (carbureted). That's an old pleasant memory. Tried riding the '76 shovelhead rigid chopper up there one time...too much pain, seems I waited too long and tried t... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? +1 mapmanI for one have not posted a question on this forum simply because I didn'twant to read the inevitable responses from those in attack mode. But, it is not a constant it ebbs and flows. I will certainly post again as I do enjoy the intera... | |
| Mistakes I’ve made The flip side is while overseas I bought quite a bit of "very good" stereo equipment, but had yet to receive it as part of rotating back to the states.Still have some of it. And yes almost 50 years later it still sounds excellent. | |
| Mistakes I’ve made When I went into the service I loaned a complete system (receiver, TT, speakers and a few records) to a friend. It was the 70s, I was young and it was a 10 year old Radio Shack system, but top-of-line for them. I come back from overseas and he i... | |
| Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2 OP:I gots to know:Did you buy them new or used?Did they always sound this way?Does anyone else operate the system?This sentence alone makes me think they are blown.." amps i was looking at , keeping in mind that I want the Amp to have at least 30... | |
| Living room system: class A or AB amps? To OP, If I had just spent 100K or 65K on sale for that matter. I would think it a no-brainer to jump on a plane and go to the highest of the high-end dealerships who sells Focal and audition amps in a large space. Obviously you're going to spend ... |
