| Leave system on or power everything down? Send an email to the manufacturer and ask their opinion. I run Hegel equipment with soft start circuitry. Hegel recommends turning the eqipment off when not in use. I've left it all powered on 24/7 for a week and it just heats the room up. Sin... | |
| Really Long XLR Well, the new 40 foot XLR cables arrived today. As mentioned earlier, I bought a pair of Statement XLR from a Canadian company Audio Sensibility. https://audiosensibility.com/blog/products-2/interconnects/#!/Statement-SE-XLR-Interconnects/p/22... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 I can contribute that I have owned the H590 and found it a formidable amp. Plenty of power, a DAC that reviewers gush over, and Hegel's design philosophy that the amp should add nothing to the sound. It is smooth and neutral. I would look for o... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. In the words of the Highlander "There can be only one". Written by Mick at the tender age of 25, the song is as powerful today as ever. There are plenty of pretty pop songs, and then there is the one that towers above them all IMHO 🤣 Please all... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures @zgas-music Thanks for the kind words. 1. I currently have the SLs 45 inches off the back wall on the outside. Towed in about 5 inches on the inside. I have acoustic panels behind each speaker and Bass Traps in the corners. Additional acoustic pa... | |
| Probable PayPal Claim File the claim. Waiting only lowers your chances of getting your money back. | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @yyzsantabarbara 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video Jay is describing someone with an addictive personality. If it's not stereo, it will be something else. And OCD is a problem that has nothing in particular to do with stereo equipment. Did I leave the iron on? Did I leave the stove on? One ... | |
| To condition or not ? I know some amp manufacturers say this as they think a PC might choke off current, but a TT motor would not draw enough power that this would ever be a concern? I should think giving up surge protection would be a bigger concern? | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! To quote Bertrand Russell, "If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make the observation yourself" Why is so much time wasted on this topic? | |
| Not selling Cardas cables online again, just wanted to share..... I have never once agreed to use PayPay. Just Google Top Ten PayPay Scams. It is unfortunate you have fallen victim to one of them. Everyone should take this as a warning. Sellers have zero protection when using PayPal. Frankly, I'm surprised w... | |
| Solderless XLR Connectors - Who Makes Them? I just found out about this new thing called Google 🤣 https://proaudio.com/neutrik-nc3mxx-ha-solderless-3-pin-xlr-male-cable-connector/ Just one of many. Cheers. | |
| Old and New-- adding Rel s510 or 812 Sub to heritage (older) McIntosh system-- Worth it? Borrow a Sub and see if you like it. I have two REL S/812 and they add a lot to my system. Let your ears guide you, not what anyone else thinks you should do. Cheers. | |
| I stream 24/7. Do you? @nrenter My big SS mono blocks and preamp are Hegel. I have posed this question to Hegel. They're take is the equipment has soft start circuitry, that SS equipment requires only few minutes to warm up and constant power just shortens the lifes... | |
| I stream 24/7. Do you? @nrenter My system is solid-state, so I never turn it off anyways. Other than increasing your electric bill, heating your room and shortening the life of your equipment, why would you leave the system powered up 24/7? Does the manufacturer of ... |
