| Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either Thanks for the nice comments to all who have looked. A review of the sound will have to wait until next spring. My stereo (version 4.0 since covid started) is awating the arrival of a pair of SoundLab Majestic 745's. Made two pairs of cables so... | |
| What's it worth to you? I for one buy vinyl to listen to and have zero interest in "collecting" it for any other reason. Long ago stopped buying used LP's as the percentage that are pristine is so low. Just one man's opinion. But if it brings you pleasure to "own" som... | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes If your Rel is "hopping" around, are you sure you don't have the volume/gain turned up just a little to high? I have two Rel subs in my system and I sometimes have to adjust the output depending of the disk I'm playing. Some recording just have ... | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers You don't need a preamp with dual outputs. You simply use a Y splitter off the pre, into two signal lines. Not saying two amps is the right way to proced, just addressing the dual output question. | |
| Epic Popular Songs Not sure why you put the 6 min limitation of songs, unless it's to exclude almost all but every Bob Dylan song. Having said that, IMHO there is one Pop/Rock song that stands above all other, even 50+ years on. Sympathy For The Devil. Even thoug... | |
| At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections? My tube amps are from Triode Audio of Japan. TRX-M845 mono blocks. I asked them directly what type of cables they use when setting up systems at major audio shows. My thought being they would use what makes their equipment sound the best. They... | |
| At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections? My guess would be that equipment that is manufactured as truly balanced, would always have XLR connections. And all other equipment having balanced connectors are only fooling the buyer into thinking there will be an improvement in sound by usin... | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ All this ringing Kenjit keeps going on about. Could it simply be he suffers with tinnitus? Sometimes the simplest answer.........🤣 | |
| SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation Feet At that price, maybe you get what you pay for? Seriously, how much engineering and materials can go into any product that sells for $10 per unit ? | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ Apparently, the engineers who design speakers don't know what they are doing? They must be beating a path to kenjit's door to have it all explained to them? I for one don't need to understand all the minutiae it order to know if I like the way i... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers @suboost My only advise is shop the used market. The Focals come up often and you can expect to pay 1/2 the list price for a pair in "like new" condition that are 1 - 2 years old. I speak from experience. Buy at the right price and you will be... | |
| Tube preamp options If you find my wallet down that rabbit hole, would you send it back to me? 🤣 | |
| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power @troidelover1499 Before we start yet another long and tiring thread about the virtue of cables, may I suggest the OP simply check out the existig threads already on the site. You may also find the threat Couterfeit Chinese Cables enlighening. M... | |
| Dedicated circuits @immatthewj Yes. The 20A outlet may be a bit more sturdy, but the 15A outlet is missing the "t" slot specifically to keep 20A plugs from geing inserted. | |
| Dedicated circuits @immatthewj There is nothing wrong with using the 12G wire between 15A breaker and 15A plugs. You would use 10G or 8G if you wanted. The wire has nothing to do with the flow of current. That is held in check by the breaker. The amount of "dra... |
