| Can I bi-amp my speakers with two different amps? Of course this is very obvious, but be sure to remove the "shorting straps" prior to bi-amping or bi-wiring for that matter. | |
| Hand me down audio equip- upgrade advice Nice gift from "da boss"! I would suspect he or she is a valuable resource as they owned the equipment and upgraded the whole system. Maybe you can follow that same road to a lesser degree. Get the room straightened out, that will pay you back w... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? I was in Japan in '76 and heard the NAK Dragon "GOLD" edition.Don't remember the amps or other details except for the JBL 4350 monitors. Absolutely blew my head apart, never thought a cassette could sound that good. And, yes, the 'tables at the s... | |
| WAF -- Thanks for that story, I've lived nearly the same deal for 40 years now.I love to tell her how things work, how they're connected etc etc. Shelistens intently for about 3 minutes and then rolls her eyes and says "Can't we just blast some Allman ... | |
| What is up with Audio Research during the pandemic? I just purchased a set of four 6922 for my ARC LS-15 from Upscale Audio in California. Received them in four days to NJ. Amazing difference. Yes I bought the top shelf version. In fact, immediately apparent, just getting better all the time. ro... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @douglas_schroeder+1 | |
| What kind of listener are you? mc wrote " Back in those days I was very methodical in using my favored test CDs with tracks selected to help me run down my audiophile checklist, all of which was analytical. It was only when I caught myself lost in the music totally forgetting ... | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Currency - as in old US paper money, sometimes referred to as "horse blankets" due to their size. Mostly early silver certificates, just like everything the rarer the pricier. I have had a few of which there were under 200 known examples. Can't r... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world @french_fries I saw Hot Tuna at the Lone Star Cafe NYC, very small venue, was standing at the bar about 6 feet from Jorma, hard to believe all that music is coming from one guitar.As to rediscovery:Blood Sweat and Tears/BS&T/God Bless the Chil... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! @crosby9" Pretty much. Every service requires a grounding electrode. You can add a second one but it must be connected to the first one by a wire. At the end of the day, within a single electrical service, all of your ground wires and all of your... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? @ieales " ^^^^ typical post of someone reading the title and inserting their 0¢.'Good' speaker wire is meaningless. The cable is part of a system and $$$ is often sonically and measurably worse than ¢¢¢."I've been called many things but "typical"... | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics Seems like several missteps here. How about you have the USPS supervisor print out the COMPLETE tracking info. Send it to Wayne. And ask Wayne why he did not report the theft to the local police? I would suspect that being in business he would ... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? I must say that I don't get the bi-wiring routine. It seems to me all that isbeing accomplished is adding more connections (points of failure). If you have good speaker cable to begin with doubling it does virtually zero. The signal still has to g... | |
| Renaming The Forum NogoiduaSeems apropos......... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @woflie62 " Admittedly, RTR with dbx noise reduction, his playback is of tremendously good SQ."I still have a Teac A-3340S and when coupled with dbx and played at15ips it is really good. It is boxed up and in a closet with 4 or 5 ampsand tapes an... |
