| Whats on your turntable tonight? Paul Simon - Greatest Hits, Etc. | |
| Sub Not Waking Up I'm not familiar with that particular receiver or those subs, but with most receivers, there are ways to activate or deactivate the subs and also the listening mode you've selected may affect whether the subs are active or not. Double check a... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? The main reason that Echo Audio in Portland is my favorite audio dealer is that they are always very responsive to all the questions I have, whether it's about a $25 dollar headshell, or something costing thousands. I've been talked out of making... | |
| 4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker? As others have said, try it and see what you like best. My experience is similar to yours. I have Harbeth Super HL5 Plus and with some recordings, they sounded a little hot on the top end, or as you put it, "shrill". I knew they shouldn't sound... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Soft Machine - The Soft Machine, Vol. 1 | |
| Integrated amplifier sound The best value I've found in the price category you mentioned is a used Vincent SV-237. 150 WPC @8 ohms and 250 @4 ohms. The first 10 watts are Class A. I can't speak to "bass slam" because I'm using it with Harbeth P3ESR speakers and a sub. S... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? John Scofield - Swallow Tales, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) Shirley Manson. Sexy might not be the right word, but I admire her combination of strength, vulnerability and honesty. | |
| Subs Having four subs will give you headroom and will help cancel out room nodes. At that price I dont think you could go wrong. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Uber, if you liked her first album I think you'll enjoy the new one. Not because it copies the first one, there's a lot of originality, but it also feels familiar and comfortable. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rush - Permanent Waves | |
| Subs What's a reasonable price? How big is your space? What are you expectations in terms of output? Just a little fill, or are you wanting to pressurize your room?It looks like those came out almost 20 years ago. I wouldn't pay much for them or ex... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? I went to a TEAC NT-505 and wish I would have just started there. Bluesound is a nice way to get your feet wet with streaming though. The TEAC / Lumin software is not as good as Blue OS, but you can use Bubbleupnp, which is really good. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wow, you guys have been busy! I had to scroll through three screens to catch up. I recently picked up a nice copy of Genesis The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway from my favorite Portland audio store. That's on the VPI right now. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I've listened to the new Norah Jones on Qobuz three times now. I really like it. |
