| What's up with TMR Audio? You know, I took a few days off from work and I think I may have forgotten to note on my email an automatic response telling everyone that I would be out of the office for a few days. I hope nobody freaks out on me? But they know that I have bee... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? All good advice above. Just like buying a used car, parts to repair are needed to fix them when something needs to be repaired. Personally I have in the past year purchased a few high end CDPs. Got them so cheap that I don't care if they crap ou... | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? IMO opinion all recordings have some layering - depth to the recorded music. Also IMO is that tubes do layering better than SS can. Also filtering AC also adds to the layering of sound.Happy Listening. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Some of the tweaks do make a difference although me myself have not heard one that made a big impact. I prefer to upgrade a component first before tweaking my system. Like installing a simple AC filter choke that so far has worked in every compone... | |
| What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get? Harmon Kardon Citation XX. Best Solid State amp I have ever heard.Happy Listening | |
| Cable septic @rbstehno - Correct - but maybe even less than that in some systems depending on how the AC is filtered in the components. Hope all is going well with you my friend. | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? I also own a Kinergetics KBA-75 class A amp. It was excellent back in the day but needs to have upgrades to compete now. The HK 16 is an excellent power amp especially for the used prices but the XX model is in another league altogether. If I w... | |
| Cable septic To just learn a few things try a copper wire cable and a all silver cable to see if yo can hear a difference. Then decide what you want your system to sound like. I do hear differences but I can find bigger improvements else where such as adding... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? They are all up for sale for a reason.Happy Listening | |
| New Old Thiel CS6 Speakers--Too Harsh Your source is causing the sharpness period. I just went though this with an owner of the 2.4s and the newer versions of the larger speakers. He was amazed when we swapped out the source with a better one.Happy Listening. | |
| Inflated prices in audio Try to manufacture a quality product for a fair price - what ever that means. In today's world, how many of them do you think SME sells each year. Cost to manufacturer, dealer mark-up, etc. leaves very little profit margin unless you can get a hi... | |
| Extravagant shipping charge This is an easy one. Open up a FedEx or UPS account and let the seller use your account. In fact, have the seller bring the item to a UPS store and have them package the item up and use your account to ship it.If it comes damaged, you are respon... | |
| Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1? Just build your own and experiment. $25 filter is just probably a resister and a capacitor. | |
| Bloom air around instruments Add a filter choke to the preamp and amp and that will get you to understand how things begin to work and sound.Happy Listening. | |
| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID @cptkais I understand that. If you are near northern NJ let me know and I can show you a few preamps and amps that will work with the Vandersteens. It will amaze you how different each sounds but they all provide an amazing sound. Happy Listening. |
